pionship prize for the best harness horse
or pony of the International Horse Show

the award OF similar honors to her sire,
| Field Marshal. at the annual exhibition

mare winning the championship and the
gelding getting the reserve ribbon after
Charm had made her debut in the novice
class at this fashionable British show.
When they came together a week or
two later at the London International Of
1921 other Judges reversed the. Rich
mond verdict by giving the grand cham
pionship to Field Marshal. while Charm
was never prominent Mr.. and Mrs
James Putnam, who then owned the

November and sold him for something
like $4,000 to O. w. Lehman of Chi

In review of the harness classes at
Olympia that brilliant English jour-
nalist and horseman, James E. Agate,
dramatic critic Of the Manchester Guar

Brfcket Mascot and Axholme Venus, re-
spectively champion and reserve cham
pion Of the show: Looking back on the
week my most vivid recollection is that
of Mr.. Maitland's Bricket Mascot. the
gayest. corkiest. most confident little
pony have ever set eyes on. AS a
| tandem leader he goes like Forest King
| If were offered the choice of Venus
and Mascot as a gift I should choose
both; Venus to send to the shows
Mascot to parade every morning while

action every evening round the billiard
table after dinner"
