Six of the Big Stakes Fill
For National Horse ShOW
Association Reports 100 Nomi-
nations From East and West
for Prizes Of $4,000.
BY G. CHAPLIN.

Six or the seven stakes recently opened
by the National Horse Show Association
have filled satisfactorily and will be car
ried through to competition at the an
nual exhibition in November at the new
armory OF Squadron a. This announce
ment. made yesterday, will be crafty
ing news to everybody interested in
show horses and horse shows. The sue
cessful outcome of the enterprising in
noyation not only paves the way for
greatly increasing the earning capacity
of show horses everywhere. but indi-
Gates pretty clearly that the countrys
leading horse show will go on with
patronage and prestige uudiminished in
its new quarters uptown.
The one class which failed to fill was
the stake of $3.50 for polo ponies. With
scores II not hundreds of the best ponies
in the world owned in New York and
Philadelphia it is rather surprising that
a good list of entries was not forth
coming. but an indoor show ring is
after all hardly the place to fairly test
the qualities which make a polo pony
valuable In all about 100 nominations
were received for the six classes which
filled. Western exhibitors responded
with unexpected unanimity. particularly
in the $4,000 stakes for harness horses
and five gated saddle horses and in the
sweepstakes for hunters. The nomina-
tors in all classes will have until October
10 to name their horses. so that If one
goes wrong another can be substituted.
Nominations, or subscriptions. are trans
ferable until that date.

The Shire Horse Show may go TO Derby,
Nottingham or Crewe, while the Ma
tional Pony Show and the Thoroughbred
Show are yet to be provided for by the
outdoor agitators. Mounting expenses
in London are said TO be responsible for
the suggested changes Of base. But
while expenses might be lower In the
country, It has been pointed out that
receipts and prestige might fall with
the costs. leaving the breeders societies
no better off than at present.
