The club house verandah is merely
an extension of tho press box, or vice
veisa. so that all one has TO do 60 learn
all the gossip is keep ones ears open.
There was q heated discussion among
| the breeders and horsemen-wise men
| of the East, they seemed to us Nearly
all of them expressed dissatisfaction
with the present system of judging the
saddle horses, but Mrs. Thomas Regan
seemed to be the only enc with aug
gestion. Her idea Is to get six cornpe-
tent judges and to divide them into
three groups. The first class of saddle
horses will parade before the first cou..
| Pile, the next class before the second
couple and so on. This will mean that
each horse will have chance to be
passed upon by different men and have
the advantage Of individual tastes. All
Of the horsemen think the idea is great
and are going to try TO put it over for
next year.
O. w. Lehmann's EXETER has won
everything SO Ear, and he is an excel
lent horse, but so is Ivy Maddison's
Myopia, which has gone unplaced.
| Myopia was one Of those which got the
gate in the class for ladies' saddle
horses yesterday, and one old horse
man said: please don't quote me,
butt and then he went on to say
that in the dozen or more horses COM
peting in this class there were only
two which really were "ladies' horses.
Myopa, which has not been placed at
this show, but which earlier in the sea-
son defeated Winona, Clara Peck's
mare, which won the red ribbon yes
terday.
"If judges do not ride" continued
the old horseman, "they pick out a
horse for his conformation, when they
should consider his ease in travelling"
William McGibbon admits that in
1888, when the Horse Show was very
young, he rode Filemaker over the
hurdle which established q worlds
record. His jump was feet Az inches
on the tanbark at the old Garden.
The big class of the evening was the
$4,000 stake which brought out eigh-
teen of the lea ding saddle horses of
the show. The contest resulted in
close competition between Mortimer B.
Fuller's Amber Crest and John p.
Crozer's Bohemian Actress. The spec
tators were impressed by the early
character and form displayed by Mr..
Fuiler's seven-year-old chestnut geld
ing, but Mr.. Crozer's nine-year-
brown mare did all her acting at the
finish and Bohemian Actress was
awarded the blue. Mr.. H. II. Hess, who
rode Bohemian Actress after getting
the horse in perfect form, kept her
keyed to brilliant performance which
completely overshadowed Amber Crest's
early form. The winner was awarded
SSoo OF the purse and Amber Crest
was was awarded the second prize of S40o.
Inc remaining $500 was split between
the owners of Flying Eagle and Sporty
McGee, who finished third and fourth.
The opening class of the evening was
for hunters and jumpers over four FIVE
foot jumps. Michael J.. Devaney won
with mis- Sandy over General Pershing,s
jeff. Miss Becky Lanier's Silver Crest,
who defeated these horses at the
earlier shows this year, was still un-
able to obtain blue ribbon and Silver
Crest did not even finish in the awards
as Mr. Fred Wettach's Going Up and
Mr. Devaney's Black Watch won The
third and fourth prizes.
The awards follow:
