years OF age, who were required to cir
Gle the ring on their ponies. taking two
jumps and leaving a note in a box 10.
Gated within small inclosure, the gate
of which had to be opened and locked
again from the saddle.
The time that each child took for the
circuit was noted and so intense was
competition. that headlong riding was
the order of the day. Master Nelson
Brown: on Carolina. won by one second
from Miss Peggy Stout.
Hot Dog Sales Boom
For the first time since the opening
Of the show, weather seemed certain
this morning to bring disappointment
to the large Saturday crowd. An at.
mosphere Of gloom pervaded.
The cold and dampness brought slack
trade at the ice cream booths, while the
market for hot dogs In roll and
steaming cup of coffee opened with a
decidedly bullish movement.
Yapping and barking. vicious and
playful in turn. and perhaps denoting
an early morning hunger, sounded
across the field today. as hundreds
Of dogs in the show at the north end
of the polo grounds went into action.
