mounted on chargers picked and
trained for the tests required. made
the circuit of the bride paths three
times within two hours. taking twelve
four foot jumps in doing so, and then
rode into the armory for the judges
Z, pass upon the condition OF the
horses, which will count heavily in
making the award Of the $500 trophy
this afternoon. The chargers to-day
must show their training for special
army work by series Of tests In the
show ring.
The spectacular feature of the
fifth days exhibition was the $4,000
stake for five gated saddle horses,
Judged soon after the evening inter-
mission. 1t brought together some of
the best known winners Of the South
and West, where this old time Ameri-
can type OF riding horse is still re-
gerded as the only one a white man
ought to mount. Riders, as well as
horses, were celebrities, all of them
coming from Kentucky and Missouri,
the stamping ground Of the single
footers. There We're Quinn Davis, who
rode John r. Crozer's $4,000 saddle
mare, Bohemian Actress, in such per-
feet style when she won the $4,000
stake for walk-trot horses on Thurs
day evening; r. Z. Moreland. who
formerly owned that remarkable
mare; Charles Cook. who trains for
o. W. Lehman Of Chicago; Joe B.
Davis, who is both owner and trainer
Of the gray gelding, Silver Plume, and
also other riders Of equal note.
A Spectacular Exhibition.
The horses were required to walk,
trot. canter, rack and single foot, and
they went the faster gaits with vim
and at a rate OF speed in short dashes
which brought down the house. With
their natural names and tails and their
beauty and brilliant style they captiv-
atcd many Eastern horsenen, who had
not often, II ever before, seen such an
exhibition.
Sinbad. chestnut gelding owned by
+. w. Matthiesen. Jr.. OF California. won
first money, as he has in many other
contests with some Of the best horses
out this season. Mr.. Lehmanns chest
nut gelding Easter Star, Of lighter mould
and very brilliant goer, was placed
second
After winning with her champion sad
die pony Never Bounce little Miss
Corinne Poth announced that all her
Bounce ponies are going to give a show
horse dinner next Tuesday afternoon at
the old American Horse Exchange, now
the Winter Garden. Reversing the usual
practice at horse show dinners the show
horses and not their owners are to do
the dining on this occasion, and the
menu promises to break the record.
Among the entertainers will be the
Bambo four in hand team Of two legged
ponies that are said to be invincible,
particularly in model class.
Mrs. Walter II. Hanley's brown GEL
ding Driftwood Blaze moved one step
nearer the lightweight championship by
defeating Mrs. Combs'e novice winner
Hazel May and lot Of other equine
notables for the medal offered by the
Association Of American Horse Shows.
First and second prizes went to Isaac
RI. Clothier, Jr.'s, hunters in the $3.50
sweepstakes. His Sir Linsn was
awarded premier honors. with his King
Daily second.
Reversa1s by Judges.
In Judging two or three classes yes-
terday the official experts apparently
revised their opinions OF the relative
merits of horses that had come before
them earlier In the week. The first of
these reversals was made by William S.
Miller. the Scottish Judge of hackney
breeding classes. when he took a second
look at Mrs. James Putnam's English
mare Park Carnation and J. Macy
Willetss American breed mare Irving
ton Bounce Ill, in the championship
class for hackeny ponies. On Tuesday
he had placed the English mare first
and Bounce second in q remarkably
strong class, causing quite little sur
prise as to the award OF the blue
ribbon. Park Carnation was unplaced
when it came to the championship
class.
Mr. Willets olso won the champion
ship for hackney pony stations with
rrvinQton Autocrat, the champion OF
1920 In placing the son of Dilham
Prime Minister over James Cox Brady's
Hamilton Model, formerly Irvington
Model, the Scottish Judge gave the
latter pony the only second prize he
ever received In a class for stations.
Flo had won the championship two or
three times at the National, and IL
looked like r. mistake to show him
again when he had everything to lose
aad nothing to gain. Both Irvington
Model and Irvington Aristocrat were
bred by the late w. ID. Henry OF
Sewickley. Pa, who ranked among the
most successful pony breeders ever
known.
BY close decision for the Mont
pelier challenge cup, n $500 trophy Of
fcred by william du Pont, the judges OF
harness ponies reversed q previous rul-
ing and placed Mrs. Putnants English
selding Melbourne Fire second to his full
brother Sir Eric, owned by William VI.
Nanamahcr, Jr.. and driven by his
daughter, Mrs. Cummings. The British
bantam was placed first, with Sir Eric
sccond when they first met on Thursday,
but so closely were they matched that
inc Wanarnakcr pony could have won on
inat occasion without provoking more
,nn tho usual criticism, while Hamilton
Tame. their older full brother. might
l'svo beaten both OF them instead Of
setting Ire yellow ribbon. Never In the
i'stol1' o. horse shows have three such
harness ponies from one siro and dam
been seen. Mr.. Wanamafer's ponies
