cause of his recent ocean voyage and
lest something of his snap and action
before the ribbons were tied. Eve. the
winner Of second prize, made the per-
formance Of her career.

The jumping contests were Of higher
quality last night than on the preceding

considered the withdrawal Of all his
high steppers. and yesterday asked the
Horse Show Association to suppiant the
acting judges. Louis. Haight and e.
Victor Loew. by putting In one Amer
lean and one English Judge for the re-
mainder OF the show. This. of course.
they could not think of doing after
having invited Messrs. Haight and Loew
to undertake the thankless task of
awarding the ribbons.
