CONTENTION KEEN
IN STAKE CLASSES
Stars of Hunter, Jumper,
Saddle Groups Primed
for Prize Drive.
By ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, Jr.

the exhibition concluded its third ses-
sion before an enthusiastic gallery,
but this morning every owner with a
horse on the Meadowbrook Club
ground was keyed to concert pitch in
anticipation Of numerous big money
stakes and championship awards
scheduled to be the features of the
final day.
Beginning at pm. this afternoon,
the top hunters. jumpers, saddle and
harness animals were to pile into
final scramble for the richest of
series Of awards so far strung out with
amazing equality over the participants
in the meet
To be sure. Mr.. and Mrs. Alvin
Untermeyer's HeXameter and Howard
G. Haffeners BODY E. loom upon the
hunter horizon as the logical con-
tenders for the crown Of glory in that
division; R. c. Flanerys Worthy
Forbes has yet to take a beating in
harness at this show. the Kilkare
Farm OF ElberQn, N. j., has repeatedly
done big things in the five-gaited
saddle horse events, and all these stars
may run true to form to clean up
the prize apples today.
Severe Tests Due Today.
It must be remembered, however.
that stake classes frequently make vast
changes in the routine scene at a
SHOW. either because the riders are
overanxious to win, the best horses
have had a bit too much use before
the final day, or plain luck sticks in
its oar and twists matter about.
OF form, there is no guessing who
will emerge with the three-gaited sad
die horse and open jumper honors.
These things lie in the lap of fate,
which is welcome to toddle them on
Its knee until comes the time to hand
down a few decisions.
All the forenoon portion Of yester-
days program was devoted to classes
Tor the younger riders, fact which
enabled Marjorie Hope Ellis Of Long
Meadow, Mass, a student at Mount
Vernon Seminary here, to become the
junior heroine of the day. winning the
