William Fl. Moore. of New York,
won his 9Th blue ribbon in the open
ing event, model hackney stallion class,
shown in hand. Lord Lucky, wearing
No. IL and entered BY Miss Michelles
Newborg. of New York, violated su-
perstition by winning the second event
for middleweight green hunters.
The FIRST spill Of the day occurred in
the third event, hunters class, shown
was June, entered by T.. W. Riddle. OF
the Glen Riddle stables. Cullen Utz,
the groom who fell. was not hurt.
An unusual accident marred the
ponies IN harness class when Fulange.
the prize winning bay mare entered BY
Miss Janice BiEgett, Of Boston, col
lapeed on the turf after apparently
having the prize won.
The heat and the strenuous Ave min
ute exhibitions, which included fast driv-
ing around the oval, was too much for
this much -touted pony, which sank to
the ground just as the entries lined up
at the judges pasoda to receive the
awards.
The accident gave the entry of the
Cedarcrest Farms. Chicago. owned by
j. X. Deering, the blue ribbon.
Fulange was embarrassed and soon
revived and was led from the ring.
During the last two days old
hvorites. blooded equipes that have
been winning blue ribbons with almost
clocklike regularity, have come troopers
and are being defeated in the competi .
tions. Dark horses in both senses
Of the word have been taking the prized
ribbons.
Three notable examples of this fact
may be noted. Irvingtop Autocrat,
owned BY Macy Willets Of New York

Judge William Moore. Of New York.

hands down in the stallion pony class
in recent years, were treated to the
experience Of defeat BY an absolute
newcomer, Belle Fern Sensation
owned by Charles Hancher, Of Wheel
ing. The new entry lived up to her name
and galloped of with the honors.
Miss Isabella Wanamaker's veteran
Gently scored notable victory at Mad
the pony In harness class. when she
was twice defeated by Sir Eric, a
lightly considered entry, also exhibited
by Miss Wanamaker.
To make yesterday afternoon a per
feet day, comparatively as well as in its
weather, Miss Loula Long Combs, OF
Kansas City, sprung another surprise
when her entry, Golden Lassie, made
all the predictions Of experts seem like
those of goose bone prophets BY bestina

Desert Gold, the property of Miss n.
J. Hess. of New York, had been
thought inyincible, but was forced to
bow to the new sensation.
A feature of today's events will be
the first championship competition to
BE- held this afternoon. It will be
open to saddle ponies who have won
blue and red ribbons during the first
two days.
