Ribboners
EXPECT A RECORD CROWD

Horses and ponies, in harness and
under saddle, hunters and jumpers and
troop horses Of the First Pennsylvania
Cavalry Regiment will show their gaits
in the Squadron Armory today. the final
day of the Indoor Horse Show.
The first event will start at 2:15
o'clock this afternoon. II will be n
showing of novice horses in harness
Exhibitions of Shetland ponies. comb.
nation classes and score of others will
follow at few minute intervals.
There was greater attendance and
more interest displayed in the show yes
terday than on Thursday, the opening
day. 1t is expected that today, being
a half holiday, the exhibition will draw
the largest crowd thus far.
Yesterday afternoon the competition
was keen in the classes of horses under
saddle, horses in harness and ponies
under saddle. In the first class judged,
Miss Jean Browne Scott was without
equal when she drove her handsome
brown mare, Sweetheart. to run
about. Manners were especially con-
sidcred Later in the afternoon. Miss
Scott met Miss Isabella Wanamaker
and tho Montpelier Farms entries in
the heavy harness class for pairs, a
most interesting event, with exception
ally high class pairs showing. Miss
Wanamaker drove her spirited and
high acting chestnut pair, Eve and
Netherhalls Pride. to a well deserved
victory, while the Montpelier pair was
second and Miss Scott was awarded the
orange. Miss Wanamaker's pair cap
tured the blue Thursday evening in the
tandem class.
Practically the same fields in ponies
under saddle met in competition in two
classes in the afternoon. In both these
classes the Misses Clothier, Cathnrinc
y; and Mary, were keen competitors
with the little Misses du Pont. Esther
d. and Mary r. It was rich tribute
to the splendid horsemnnship Of Miss
Catharine B. Clothier and rare distlnc-
ton to the qualities Of her mount that
she won the blue rosette in both classes
with Cocoa, a perfectly trained bay
gelding, six years old. Cocoa took the
Jumps cleanly. freely and in style. Pea
Blossom and Huntsman, entries of the
du Pont children, were rivals In each
brown mare Of Miss Mary Clothier
Princess was second in one class and
received the orange In the later compc-
tition. She is the perfect grey hound
type Of hurdler, spirited and fast In
approaching the obstacles and leaping
them without any stacking of speed
Huntsman was fourth in both events
In the first decided Noal was third. but
was unplaced in the second because he
grazed the first hurdle. Pea Blossom
was not among the awards in the first.
but the spirited little chestnut well
merited the red rosette in the second.

Easy to Pick Defects
1T is n very simple matter to pick
out a bad motor driver, but it is not
simple to discover an expert one for
the reason that it takes an extraordi-
nary situation TO bring out expert
driving and We do not always run into
extraordinary situations.
THE scale was arrived at by q
correlation of tests. First we selected
fifty traits that are generally considered
indicative Of social insufficiency. One
after another Of these was thrown ont
when it was discovered to be uncommon
to any group Of individuals. Finally
by this process Of elimination we had
just the seven left and worked out the
ratio from them.
"One hundred and twenty five indi =
viduals were selected for the test. They
were given two different sets Of ratings
one by persons who actually knew of
their social fitness through observa :
non. ms ratlnR was given according
to the Scott plan as used in the army.
Then for the other mark traits were ex :.
perimcntally rated after consideration
of their correlation with this estimated
general fitness.
Then the rating of one set of judges
was compared with that Of the other set
and it was proved that the social rating
that we gave experimentally matched
up with the rating that was given from
observation by those familiar with the
individuals. Further technical lines OF
proofs were followed until finally we felt
and dependable.
