THE National Horse Show, al
Madison Square Garden, which
ended Tuesday night, is some
i thing we can think about TO,
q long time to come. The vast build.
ing filled at the three performances q
day, the classes of beautiful horses OF
all kinds-saddle, driving, Jumping
and hunters-and all the extra exhibi-
tions one sees at this great show keep
one thrilled.
The jumping of the international
teams Is beyond belief, the horses
literally sail over every obstacle, and
the hunter classes, with the best
horses in America entered, and in
which our Virginia horses won their
full share of blues, were the most in
teresting classes to me. Spring Hope
owned by Mrs. John Hay Whitney
was a big winner and came out VIC
torious in the 1000 hunter sweep
stakes. Many think this brown mare
the best of Mrs. Whitney's string now
Her gray hunt team won over large
class in their usual sensational man.
ner. Red Tape, a Virginia horse. now
owned by Mrs. Robert Guggenheim
gave the most beautiful performance
of his career and won the Dickson
Memorial Challenge Trophy. Red
Tape also won reserve in the hunter
championship Big John. beautiful
chestnut gelding owned by George
Humphrey of Cleveland, was greatly
liked horse during the entire show
and came off "the top" by winning
the hunter championship over the very
best horses in the land.
That good old gray veteran, Squire,
long a favorite In Washington and
Virginia. won several classes and was
applauded as much as ever.
The covered wagon, oxen, spotted
horse. mule, dog. etc, shown on Sun
day night received warm welcome,
won a blue ribbon and silver platter
all Of "the troup" had a wonderful
time. Those going up with me to help
make this exhibit the success 1t was
were Mrs. John Butler, Mrs. Stacy
Lloyd, Mrs. Charles Sabin, Mrs. Court.

The Horse Show ball on Monday
night was the most brilliant social en-
tertainment given in New York dur
ing the show The grand ball room
of the Waldorf Astoria was decorated
with large punches of chrysanthe-
NUNS and Autumn leaves. Garlands
OF Southern smilax hung from the
two tier boxes and flags of the coun-
tries Of the foreign teams decorated
the large stage. Tables placed around
the walls of the enormous ball room
seated from 4 to 80 persons. Joe Moss
and his orchestra played wonderful
music the entire time. Guests arrived
from the Horse Show at midnight and
q delicious supper was served; cham
pagnes and drinks of an kinds. The
beautifully groomed women, the pink
coats of the men and uniforms of the
foreign officers made this brilliant
and colorful scene, one long to be re-
membered, as this throng danced until
daylight.
