HORSE SHOW CARD
Mrs. PatterSon's Bay Is
Champion at Riding and
Hunt Club.

Prince H, Mrs. Simon Pattersons bay
which was thrice in the ribbons and
once a winner at the 1881 New York
national, returned to his old form in
the third monthly Riding and Hunt
Club show last night and walked off
with two firsts and the show champion
ship.
In so doing he partially avenged him.
self on Mermaid, Mrs. w. j. Chewing.
jr.'s young mare, which twice before
this season outperformed him in local
exhibitions and until last night held
the title Of undefeated champion of the
hunt club show series.
Robert Robey rode the stout hearted
Prince H to victory in the Hunter S
Sweepstakes, and followed up in the
next class with virtually the only clean
performance over a difficult Corinthian
course, which included a treacherous
n-andout obstacle.
Competition Close.
Until this double victory in the fifth
and sixth classes, the championship ap-
peared to belong to anybody's horse,
with Mrs. c. w. Herron's Papoose in
the lead by virtue of a first in the
open jumping and q second in the
handy hunter division. Miss Beatrice
Patton had placed her entries second
and third in the open jumping, and
Miss Evelyn Walker had done as we'll
with John and Judas in the competition
for and 4 year olds.
The fifth class still failed to settle
the question, as Miss Pattons Keana-
kolu was second to Prince H. and Miss
Walkers John third
1t was the last active contest, the
Corinthian. which turned the tide for
the Prince. The 4-foot jumps were
now more of test for entries most Of
which had competed in at least three
previous classes. Touch faults were
numerous, and the in-and-out seemed
an almost insurmountable barrier. No
less than three horses crashed squarely
into the first jump, most got a refusal
at the second if the first was nego-
tiated, and clean performance over
both appeared impossible-until Prince
H., under a good ride, made his fault
less round of the course.
Hunter Event Exciting.
The trick handy hunter course, with
time to count in Judging the class,
produced the major excitement of the
evening. Charles Carrico rode Mrs. w.
G. Hills QUESTIONABLE to victory and
Mrs. Herron's Papoose into second
Both were put to 1t at such pace
that the competition for the cup was
outdistanced, and the crowd delighted
with an exhibition of breakneck horse
manship. Lee Counselman's Thunder
bolt was third, after run-off trial
against PapooSe.
