plebeian equine enthusiasts yesterday
at the suspicious opening of the an
nual National Capital horse show at
Arlington Park, Va.
The opening was suspicious from
three angles. In contrast to last
years weather of drizzly rain. which
caused postponement of the opening
for two days, the day was perfect
entries of various classes were more
numerous, and finally, as result OF
the foregoing. the competition was
keener and of a grade higher tnan
possible last year.
There were scores in the boxes and
grand stand who reveled in the ex-
hibition of President HarGing's sad
die horse, Harbell. presented to him
recently by Harvey Firestone. Ihere
Cen Pershing's Dandy Dude captured
the blue ribbon of the officers light
charger class.

OF a number of experts at the snow
was the sight of Dr.. c. Shirley car
, ter of warrenton, Va. a breeder for
thirty-five years. with some of the
best horsefiesh of Virginia to show
for his proficiency, when he SAT
astride Leo, a magnificent olack

and won the blue ribbon of the novice
park saddle class. The horse is long
limbed. clean cut and graceful to
a point of perfection. DR.. Carter,
long and spare, with horseman
stamped over virtually every physicai
7 feature, perfectly matched his mount
: and drew one of the most enthusiastic

not credit it, but 1 have never had one

actly 1872 hands and stepping with as
smooth a stride as any exhibited. MT.
Thomas is a WashinGtonian who Tor
years has been interested IN horses
in the National Capital
, One of the most enjoyable features
of Yesterdays events was the smooth
ness and regularity with which they
were Judged The promptness in get
ting the entries into the judging ring
,and the disposal of the prizes &C.
counted for the timely conclusion OF
the events.
AS usual. the Chestnut Farms Dairy
pair Bobbie and John, took away
the blue ribbon for the heavy draft
team, and the same owners captured
first and second in the delivery horse
class, with Harry taking the blue
and Jim taking the red.
Fire Jump Holds Crowd.
The fire-jump by the Fort Myer
troopers was held until the very last
event, and it proved a crowd keeper.

then in pairs, went through circle OF
fire with ease and clean jumping born
only of long training and practice.
