Mrs. Stuyvesant Peabody 

 Jumping at Hinsdale, III. 



Of great interest to lovers of horses was the First Annual 

 Horse Show recently held at Mayslake Farm, the country 

 estate of F. S. Peabody, near Hinsdale, Illinois. 



Among the exhibitors were Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Bering, 

 Mrs. Loula Long Combs of Kansas City, O. W. Lehmann, 

 Woodin Farms, John R. Thompson, Mrs. Stuyvesant Pea- 

 body, B. L. Behr, WiUiam E. Dee, Robert C. Wheeler and 

 Mrs. Francis S. Peabody. 



Miss Helen Morton, riding "Miss Bunty," was one of the 

 first blue ribbon winners. She was presented with the 

 horse by Mrs. Peabody after the event. Revelation and 

 Reputation, owned by Mrs. Loula Long Combs, attracted 

 considerable attention as winners in the class for harness 

 pairs. 



In the single harness pony event Mrs. Jackson K. 

 Bering's "Hawthorne Bell" won the honors. Mrs. O. W. 

 Lehmann, riding "Baby Vampire," was first in the class 

 for three gaited saddle horses, with "Homestead Choice," 

 owned and ridden by Mrs. J. M. Harris, a close second. 



"Cleo Belle," owned and ridden by Charles Piez, was an 

 easy winner in the class for three gaited saddle horses of 

 15:2 hands and over. 



The high jump on the first day, won by Mrs. Peabody's 

 "Great Heart," and the triple bar jump on the second day, 

 by Robert C. Wheeler's "Sunny Brook," were to many the 

 classic events of the show. The steeplechase was hotly 

 contested between Mr. Wheeler's "Glodiva" and Mr. Leh- 

 mann's "Shrapnel," with "Shrapnel" the winner. 



All the expenses were paid by Mr. Peabody and the 

 gross proceeds donated to the Salvation Army. The show 

 was given under the management of W. S. Blitz of New 

 York, with R. H. Williams, Jr., of New York, E. B. Chase 

 of Philadelphia and Val Crane of Chicago as judges. The 

 committee on arrangements included Prentiss L. Coonley, 

 G. G. Woodin, Edward J. Lehmann, T. E. Wilson, B. L. 

 Behr, Charles Piez, W. E. Skinner, O. W. Lehmann, S. 

 Peabody, F. O. Butler, Frederick C. McLaughlin, and 

 J. K. Bering, chairman.
