fifth day, but Submersfbie refused to
be submerged. He started out and
took the jaunt around the park which
is going 10 win for somebody the chal-
lenge cup of Squadron A, and then
almost as soon as he got back to the
armory he went into the ring, where
troopers mounts were competing for
tbs Jockey Club plate, and won IL
easily. The popular Major Barry was
PIP on Submersible. Major Tauibee's

The horses that meet ever the course

for the Squadron A challege cup wers,
besides Submersible, Chiswell, ridder,
by Captain Gerhardt; Babe Worthan,
with Captain Davis In the saddle;
Tango Dance, ridden by Captain Pad
gett, and Melody, bay mare from
Squadron A.
Throng Admires Contestants
The contestants were required to 20
twice over the course, through the
park, and they had an admiring throng
of spectators every inch of the way, be-
cause the people knew in advance Just
what time to expect this event. There
were four jumps--a brush, in and out,
post and rail and stone wall.
This is only the first installment OF
the competition, for this afternoon at
6:45 o'clock they will start out again
and repeat yesterdays performance, 1t
docks as II it would be difficult class
to decide because of the excellence of
the entries. The course Is over twenty
miles and the second day there will be
added one broad jump. Performance
over jumps will count 25 per cent,
schooling is, and conformation TO- For
each minute exceeding two hours re-
quired to cover the course points
will be deducted, and points up to 20
may be deducted because of the condi-
fien of the mounts at the end of the
run.
The cup must be won twice by the
same officer before it becomes his
property. and since Major Barry's Sub
mersible won it last year 1t does look
as if he might go home this year with
the cup under his arm.
Dandy Dude an Easy Winner
General Pershing's gray gelding,
Dandy Dude, showed all of the spirit
OF his noted owner when he entered
the ring for the Grafton broad Jump
handled by Major Queckemeyer The
Dude simply Jumped and cleared more
OF the paperboard hat boxes, which
form the barrier, than any of the other
contestants could hope to do, and then
he had his blanket arranged neativ
while he stood off to one side and
watched the others fight it out among
themselves for second place. Dandy
Dude easily cleared fourteen feet, and
Touraine and John Bunny were Sec
ond and third choice.
The big General had two horses in
the touch and out" class for hunters
competing for the Spur cup. These
were jeff and Prominent Tom. Both
gave good accounts of them selves. but
JeH was more prominent than Tom in
the end, because he won the yellow
RIBBON. In class which had more than
nan hundred competitors this was q
pig win, and the conditions were difi-
cult, too. Each horse was REQUIRED to
take four jumps twice around the ring,
ana II one OF mis- toes so much as nieked
she ran the bugle issued in another
morse TO take his place. In other words,
II ne touched he had to get out. That's
what made it the touch and out" class
Five in Elimination Trial
Five horses had clean performances
ana tney were called into the ring for
the elimination trial. They were sandy
owned by Michael j. Devaney; @. w
Lenmann's Suretire, General Pershinp's
zen and Prominent Tom and Major
ssarry's Moses. In the elimination
ourehre jumped first and cleared

Then came Sandy, and he nsd.

tne blue. AS matter of fact. he would
sun have been perfect IL the fanees
had been foot higher; he seemed to

he carries his tail jauntily. well curved
out into the ozone, and as he nm.
Proaches each fence he appears TO BE
iashing himself into a fury OF ex-
ertion. That little old last years tail

moeks ana over his back, and then
hy hSmay he goes! He is the most amusing
ne has personality that won the
good will of the spectators to sueh an
extent that they cheered him on to
victory and rewarded him with loud
applause. A'~'
