October 1, 1898) Clje gvecbtx ant ^porrsma** 211 THE OPEN AIR HORSE SHOW. A Very Successful Exhibition Given By the San Mateo County Horse Show Association. On Friday and Saturday of last week, at the picturesque grounds of the Country Club at Burlingame, San Mateo .county, one of the most successful horse shows ever held in California was given fay the San Mateo County Open Air Horse Show Association, There were the charms of perfect wpather and a gaily attired crowd of several hundred specta- tors to add to the social pleasures of the occasion, while the classes of horses shown were a revelation and a surprise to man;, especially when the California bred horses entered the ring to be judged. The cfficers of the Association were nearly all present and under the able management of the President, Major J. L. Rathbone, there was little to be de- sired in the manner in which the affair was conducted dur- ing the two days. The Associations officers1 ire as follows : President, Msjor J. L. Rathbone; Honorary Secretary, Frank J. Carolan; Directors, Jobn Parrott, William 3. Howard, Prince A. Poniatowski, John C. Kirkpatrick, John Lawson, E. D. Beylard, R. M. Tobin, J. D. Grant, W. 8. Hobart, A. B. Ford, George A. Newhall, Henry J, Crocker, Baron von Schroeder and George A. Pope; Ring Committee, H. J. Crocker, Baron von Schroeder, J. B. Crockett, J. A. Donahoe, W. P. A. Brewer and R. M. Tobin; Judges, Prince Poniatowski, John C. Kirkpairick and E. D. Beylard. Veterinary SargeonE, Drs. Egan and Masoero; Ringmaster, Richard Graham. There were thirty different judging classes, eighteen Of them being judged on Friday, and the others on Saturday. In the class for trotting stallions there were but two entries, Mr. Cresweli's Button Jr. and Mr. Kenner's Lightfoot, the first named being awarded the blue ribbon. Tnat magnificent horse Magnet, by St. Blaise, owned by Prince Poniatowski, was the only entry in the class for thor- oughbred stallions. Three hackney stallions entered the ring in competion for the blue ribbon, and that splendid ani- mal, Green's Rufus, owned by The Baywocd Stud, carried cff the honors. He was afterwards shown with five of bis get and they were a very fine- looking lot. Probably the most interest- ing feature of the show during the two days was the exhibit and judging of the Ca'ifornia- bred pairs, fifteen hands or over. No less than nine pairs went into the ring, and the most ardent admirer of the park carriage horse, would be compelled to admit after an in- spection of these handsome pairs that California can pro- duce first-class animals of this type, as well as high-class trot- ters and runners. The honors of this class went easily to the Baywood Stud'6 Pepita and Paquita, two handsome mares, with the most perfect and elegant manners we have ever seen in a carriage pair. It was the opinion of many that this pair outclassed all other entries for ladies' driving pairs, but they were beaten on appointments, thr-ugh the program did not state that these would be considered. The Baywood Stud secured four blue ribbons and several seconds and thirds during the'show. Mr. W. Hobart has Bomehow acquired a habit of carrying away the majority of the first prizes wherever he exhibits any of his horses. He is most energetic as well as enthusias- tic, and handles his own horses in the ring. Fourteen blue ribbons went to his entries. Messrs. J. D. Grant, R. M. Tobin, John Lawson, George A. Newhall, F. J. Carolan and others were well represented in the Bhow.

They are busily working on a pamphlet setting forth Lhe classification and prize list for Lbe coming show. More than $5,000 in prizes will be offered, beside various special prizes in the shape of caps, harness, etc., which have been voluntarily offered by friends of the association, in Califor- nia and elsewhere. Everything points to a great success in the initial horse show which will take place in January next. Special distinctive feat* ares are being prepared, whicb, while not interfering with the ordinary features of the horee show, will serve to place this on somewhat different lines from any horse show heretofore held in tbe United States.

The last great horse show of Frrnce was held at Alencon, in the Department of the Orne, last July. Th« prize money amounted to sixty-three thousand francs ($12 600), cf which 32,000 were donated by the general government of the re- public, and thirty thousand by the department named. In addition the Minister of Agriculture offered thirty gold and thirty silver and some bronze medals as special marks of honor to the animals winning them. Thirty-three French coach stallions, two years old, were shown : 98 three-year- olds, 42 two-year-old fillies, 49 three year-old fillies, bred in 1898 to a government stallion or one huthorizsd or approved, 40 mares not followed by foals at foot but bred in 1898 to government, authorized or approved stallions, these mares to have produced foals in 1896 or 1897, 111 brood mares.four years or over, with foals at foot or about to foal, tbe foals to be got by government, authorized or approved siallionB and the mares bred again in 1S98 to stallions similarly qualified (or to be bred again), and four trotters, entries to this last class being open only to horses and mares that have taken part in at least three trotting races in 1897 or 189S and won at least one first money, geldings no t eligible. As tbe French government buys, authorizes and approves only perfectly sound stallions and accepts to its etallion6 onlv mares free from hereditary defect, owners are, by these conditions, snm- marily debarred from showing unsound brocd Btock. Th<- phenomenal soundness of the French ccachers, as a breed thus easily explained.
