Second in Row for U, S.

TT WAS the second consecutive year
the United States Army had won
the great individual contest. In
1888 the aged and surefooted Tanbark
triumphed after jump-off of equal
excitement and severity.
This year Tanbark would have
qualified for the second stage of the
trial had not Capt. c. c. Jaowin
unaccountably circled him in an un-
authorized turn during a perfectly
clean round of the fences. This
counted three points against the en-
try and eliminated it from the later
competition.
Except for the international stake,
the program last night was designed
in more or less carnival spirit. There
were exhibitions of everything from
State troopers to rubber-tired milk
wagons.
The popularity of the events, which
drew a packed house, seemed to
prove that all who come to horse
shows do not wait with baited breath
for the mere judging of hooks and
withers. Galleries and boxes joined
in roaring applause for the feature
performers. and there was plethora
of trick contests to please them.
The international stake in itself
Is not regarded with any special in
terest by fox hunting horsemen, the
saddle horse people or the harness
horse advocates, but its value as a
crowd thriller can never be denied
Today and tomorrow the trend re-
turns to the more normal of big in
door shows.
Some Circus Stuff.
|VEN the Scurry Stakes, an open
X, jumping event in which time
totals and performance scores
are added to determine the winner,
was dressed up in circus garb last
evening The riders, sailing down to
fences bareback, were clad in sun
dry outlandish costumes disgusting
them as everything from scarecroWs
to hula dancers.
The Barnum & Bailey effects
opened with a horsemanship class
for mounted police of the New YORK
and Philadelphia City forces. There
were six bluecoatS on each team anu
they went through routine cllmaxeo
by transposition of a bit OF Union
square into Madison square.
After exhibiting their ability to rloe
at a walk. trot and canter, back and
sidestep, the officers were required
to display a delicate version OF their
crowd handling technique. A mon
of show-ring attendants rushed into
the inclosure and the troopers
charged down upon them, brushing
them about as if pushing Com
munists off soap boxes.
There was suggestion OF mild
frame-up on the part of the victims
here. The New York coppers had
little difficulty in controlling the IN
surgents when it was their turn at
bat. The minute the visiting billy
men rushed into the melee, however,
there was an outburst of rough stuff.
One guardian of the Pennsylvania
law was pulled off his horse, several
others had their horses brides
snatched.

General Average Equitable.

THE same conditions do not obtain
for the man who sports handi-
cap of 2 strokes. For him the
course has changed not bit. The
scoring is as difficult, perhaps even
harder, and in any event it is always
more of job for the low handicap
player to play to his handicap than
it is for the high handicap gent.
A fairer way to arrive at equitable
handicaps would be to make it COM
pulsory for every member of a club
to turn in 80 scores or even so scores,
strike of the average of them all
and rate him on that basis. In those
80 or so scores would be some good
ones and some bad ones, but the av-
erage would be a. true average and
not an unusual average based on his
best work. 1t would have the effect
of raising the low handicap player
and probably of lowering the high
handicap golfer. but it should be
made compulsory to make these
bothersome handicap competitions
more Of an equitable proposition. The

Rides to Third Place Also.

"HE young American rider also
had the honor of riding the
Armys Ugly, the horse that fin
ished third. He completed the turn in
"a seconds and for the interval be-
tween his appearance and Capt.
Aherne's ride was considered sure
thing for first place.
After the gallant Irishman had bet
tered Ugly's mark, Raguse had it put
squarely up to him to save the national
honor, as he was the only American
remaining of the Is riders from five
nations who qualified for the jump-off
Raguse has been the star OF this
countrys forces during the 1884 meet
ing and never did he shine more bril-
liantly than in his handling of Dakota
when the final test came.
The crowd, which had seemed to be
almost as pro-Irish as American in its
sentiments, roared approval when
Capt. Aherne surged to the top ranks
on GallowglaSs. But as Dakota'S time
was announced about a minute and
one-half later, the Isle of Erin was
forgotten and they cheered themselves
hoarSe.

George Voigt had been present it isn't
likely that the former Walker Cup
star would have done better, George
was unable to be present, SO Miller did

laurels. Harry G. Pitt, a former

When the police Of Glasgow,
Scotland, attempted, by wholesale
arrests, to stop the picturesque
flower girls from selling on the
streets, the girls found a voluntary

5. L. OSER TO SEE
 FURNITURE SHOW
Metropolitan Co Official Leaves To-day for Chi=
 cagO Exhibit

Furniture merchants the country over did volume of business far in excess of 1882 in the past l2 months, despite an exceptionally poor first quarter. This was the report made by s. Leon Oser of the Metropolitan Furniture company today, as he prepared to leave for Chicago and Grand Rapids to sur Vey the new style creations of fur niture manufacturers, to purchase new stock for his store, and to par ticipate in the annual meeting of the National Retail Furniture asso- citation in which he Is actuve.
 While some stocks sank below the 1D32 level, the rank and file had volume exceeding that of u year ago by from one to 65 per cent, acord- ing to the National association re- ports," MT Oser said. "The na- tional situation Is certainly heart ening one."
 The innovations prompted by the cantury of progress last summer influenced style production along modern lines, and the exposition will reveal whether or not the dy- mamie goth century type is main-  adding that he expected to inspect the new designs of about 500 fur niture manufacturers.
 Most of the furniture suited to the needs of this community Is in the traditional styles, but there is increasing demand among the younger generation for simple and satisfactory pieces of the better grades executed in the modern manner" he said. q feel that the new modern furniture Is not freakish and grotusque like the 'modernistic' furniture introduced five or six years ago."
 The annual meeting of the Na- tional Retail Furniture association will bring together leaders in the home furnishings merchandising field from coast to coast he indi- cated. Inasumch as he Is active in the national councils he expects to return home with the latest MIRA and retail code information. as well as all developments in store man agement.

LIQUOR QUESTION
 IN UNITED STATES
Different Phases of Sub= feet Discussed By ROd=
 ney Claire at YMCA

In response to 9 question at tho YMCA forum on Sunday afternoon, Rodney Chase, stated that the Uni- ted States is still in the experi- mental stages regarding the ques- tion of liquor control. He reviewed the failures of the old saloon meth- cd and also the thirteen years of prohibition and with 48 states now passing different laws, he felt we would eventually find the right and proper solution.
 MT Chase expressed opinon that excessive drinking would not be re- garded as good social etiquette now that repeal made the sale of alco- holic liquors lawful. He said that we should stop so much discussion about drinking and get rid of the attitude that we must do with alco- hol like the automobile, moving pictures and other things, alcohol will always be with us and we must adopt proper methods of con- trol in drinking. He spoke partic- ularly of the system of regulation of New York state where the drinking is all done at tables and in the open. Mir Chase felt that this would do away with the old habit of treating" as social groups convened together around tables. Dry states should be protected from advertising about alcoholic liquors and he referred to compli- cations that would give rise to, in connection with radio advertising.
 Previous to the meeting the Abe nantc String Trio rendered q num- Der of selections. Herbert $. Smith, general secretary of the YMCA presided at the meeting, introduced MT Chase and took charge of the question period at the close.

HENRY CLAY BULL MAY NOT DIE FEB 4
Effort Being Made to Save Him From the Electric
 Chair

An effort is expected to he made to defer the execution of Henry Clay Bull, 22, of Brooklyn, N. r., who was recently convicted in Massachusetts of fatally wounding police officer. The young man has been condqmned to die in the cleo tric chair on February 4th. Bull was wanted In Waterbury and was Icing sought by the local police for a stick up job at a West Main street filling station when he be- came involved In more serious trouble.
 According to reports Senator Royal D. Copeland of New York. chairman of the special senate committee on racketeering and Colonel Franklin s. Hutchinson. chief investigator, have interested themselves in the young mans case. They are studying the cir cumstances of the shooting and the record of the testimony pre- sented during his trial. The infer ence Is that the two high officials feel that there are extenuating cir. cumstances which would warrant Il lenient view toward Bull, whom they consider ian amateur bur- Elar, made desperate by economic circumstances"
