exhibition in November. the National
Horse Show Association has indicated
a purpose of distributing among exhib-
itors some Of the money saved in NOV

to the very heavy expense incurred in
renting and rehabilitating the old Gar
den for the annual show. the prize list
had been pared down of late years until
its aggregate cash value was below that
of several other American shows. where
as in other times 1t far exceeded all
rivals.

Through mistake in printing the con-
ditions of the other six classes 1t was
inadvertently announced that the asso-
citation would add piece of plate valued
at $3.50 In each class. which is not true.

the owners there will compete for their
own money. The other so-called stakes
are really purses, not stakes, according
to the published conditions. The one for
harness horses is $1,000; for harness
ponies. $1,000; for walk-trot saddle
horses. $4,000 for five gated saddle
horses. $4,000; for saddle ponies. $3.50.
and for polo ponies. $3.50. The entrance
fee In the $4,000 purses Is 500. and In
the others $50.
In announcing these capital purses
the National Horse Show Association
has not asked exhibitors to pay their
entrance fees without knowing who will
award the prizes. In the class for har-
ness horses, John c. Groome of Phil
