 New York. Sept 4.-With 124, classes in all in thet hree divisions of hunters and jumpers, harness horses and saddle horses, the Ma tional Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, November to 13, will have at least three Jumping contests at each of thet thirteen weekday matinees and nights. International military teams will jump every night, including Sum day, November Il. Teams of na- tional guard and reserve officers are likewise scheduled to jump at the Sunday night gala perform ance.
 The 1884 prize list sent out by | the National Horse Show associa- | tion also shows that three jumping classes each evening are open to international army officers. The triple bars jump is the one hunter | or jumper class other than mili- tary in which, because of it's ex- trene danger women riders may not jump. Even more women rid CTS than last year, it is said, are expected to take hunters and jump CTS over the obstacles in other events.
 Conditions
 The principal Jumping contests, one for each night, for interna- tional military teams are-high- score competition running the first three evenings, The Bowman Chal- lenge Trophy Saturday night, No- vember TO- the $1,000 International Military Sweepstake for Sunday night. the individual international military championship the next evening, and the contest the final night for the cup presented by the president of the association, J. Spencer Weed. These international contest will all be scheduled for the middle part of each evening. Not more than ten classes in all are to be run off any evening. Each nights performance is to begin with a jumping novelty. a touch and out sweepstake, open to army riders as well as all civilians. National guard and reserve off, cers will have a special part in the approaching national, according to the prize list. A high score jump- ing series is scheduled for them as the last class on the afternoons of Wednesdays, Thursday, and Fri day. November 2, and 9, and an- other guard and reserve team con- test Is listed for the so-called Dol lar Night, Sunday, November II.
 It IS in the open jumping classes that the national will use for the firstt ime its much discussed new obstacles, a railway gate, a hogs back. a single rail painted red and white, a "LiverpooP', a road closed sign with flares burning, and dou- ble crossed poles. The obstacles for hunters will remain the same as last year.
 In the hunter classes attention will be directed to the new fox hunters challenge trophy for green and qualified hunters. presented by Mrs Alvin Untermyer, whose Ulic recently retired the John R. Town. send Memorial trophy. Mrs Un- termyer's father-in-law, Samuel Untermyer. was one of the exhibi- tors at the first National Horse Show, in Gilmore's Garden in 1883.

 For heavy harness horses there are two new classes limited to animals which have not won more than six blue ribbons at any rec ognized horse show, and also two limit classes for harness ponies. and new classes for harness ponies not exceeding 12.2. Mrs John Gerken has presented the Doncas- ter model challenge trophy for the class for three harness ponies not exceeding 14.2.
 More speed and picturesqueness will be added to the classes for those harness horses know as roadsters. by the provisions that single roadsters must be driven to a bike" or sulky. with the drivers wearing colors like those used at ten Hambletonian and other trot- ting races. When these spirited horses are shown under saddle those who have the leg up must also wear colors.. For the cham. pionship roadster stake, bikes and colors are also required. The roadster classes will therefore have many of the aspects of the Grand Circuit.
 For saddle horses the National oners new class for novices and two new limit classes. The out. standing new saddle horse feature IS the addition to the $1,000 guar anteed champion sweepstake for saddle horses of the Mountain Echo challenge trophy, presented by Col and Mrs W. H. Henderson.
 For Juvenile riders two new classes are provided, one for nov ices under thirteen and one for novices between thirteen and eigh- .eeh, 10 De Judged on seats and nands. There Is also new class Tor thems of instructor and pupils, one instructor and three pupils. or four pupils.
 Perhaps marking back to the days or the sos when jacks" and lennets were regularly exhibited the Nationai has for 1884 again recognized the humble donkey. On Saturday afternoon. Noovember 10. children under sixteen will exhibit oonkeys With decorated harness. driyen to decorated carts.
