FIFTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART IV 283 



aged mares, if she has no bad luck, that will be seen in her class. Fifth 

 premium went to Francis Highlander, a daughter of King Highland, 

 whose dam was Lady Tulleride, owned by B. F. Redman, of Oskaloosa, 

 Iowa. 



The class for walk, trot and canter mare or gelding to be ridden by 

 lady, 50 per cent for riding and 50 per cent for horse, was scheduled 

 for Monday evening, but on account of the terrific storm, which put the 

 entire grounds in darkness, by wrecking the electric light system, and 

 swamping everything, blowing the tent in which some of the stables were 

 housed, was necessarily thrown over to Tuesday evening and four good 

 entries came out for the four premiums into which this event was di- 

 vided. Mrs. Halger Rasmussen proved to be the winner, with O. J. 

 Mooers' Princess Charming, Miss Hazel Richie, of Chicago, getting second 

 on William Daniel's Tommy Atkins, Mrs. Shields getting third on Geo. 

 McDonald, owned by Uhrich Bros., and Mrs. Del Holeman fourth on 

 Maxine, owned by Blades & Holeman. On Tuesday afternoon the three 

 gaited class for stallion, mare or gelding, any age, was shown and nine 

 very high class animals gave Judges Dobson and Pepper their hands full. 

 The first premium was awarded to Miss Loula Long's Nancy Garland, 

 shown by John Hook, second to Houchin & Anderson's Pauline Moore, 

 shown by Barnett; third to Mary Dowling, owned by Paul Brown, St. 

 Louis, shown by Holeman; fourth to Princess Charming, owned and shown 

 by O. J. Mooers, and fifth to Montgomery, ridden by Monahan. Miss 

 Richie showed Daniel's Bro. Mack, Viles showed William C. Seipp's Gay 

 Deceiver, Ed. Uhrich showed his Geo. McDonald, Helgar Rasmussen 

 showed O. J. Mooers' Gracie Gray. Considered from every point, it must 

 be considered to be one of the best three gaited classes that will be seen 

 anywhere this year. 



The five gaited class for three-year-old mares and geldings owned in 

 Iowa was won by Major, which was shown by Don Reavis, of the Hamilton 

 stable, this horse being shown by C. N. Arnett. He is a son of Rex 

 McDonald, and as splendid a trot and as good a rack as any of the 

 horses shown in any of the classes. Raven H., from the Hamilton stable, 

 was second; third, Francis Highlander; fourth, Thomas A., ridden by Del 

 Holeman, for the Hamiltons. On Tuesday afternoon also was shown the 

 five gaited class, and eight entries came before Judge Porter Taylor and 

 was as good a class as will be seen anywhere. At the head of the string 

 was placed Paul Brown's gelding, Johnny Jones, which was shown by Del 

 Holeman, and he fought a real battle for the first honors, with four other 

 winners, as well as three that were unplaced. John Hook was showing 

 Maurine Fisher and made an awful fight to not let the blue ribbon get 

 away. Trev Anderson also made a strong bid with Houchin's chestnut 

 mare, Helen Hicklin and he certainly showed this mare with splendid 

 form, and got every particle of doing from her of which she was capable. 

 Lonnie Haydon made a strong effort with Miss Long's black mare, Czar- 

 miva, and at the rack had the edge of all the entries. Splint Barnett came 

 fifth with the famous gray gelding, Nickle Plate, which did not make as 

 good a show in the soft footing of this tan bark as he usually does on the 

 outdoor, hard track. The ones not placed were Ed Moore, with the excel-
