Kag-er Iarticpant Turn ThemMlvei Loose and Biff Crowd Applauds to til Echo. 5 UESDAY afternoon's equestrian Gymkhana was one of the most en tertaining of the season, replete with new and 2Js$5& unique features, humor ous and thrilling situations. There was fun from start to finish, enough of the breath-stopping element to satisfy the most exacting, and contestants have never entered into the spirit of the affair with more zest. The first of the new events and one which promises to be very popular here, was the Doughnut Bace, in which con testants rode across the ring at the word, to an individual doughnut, suspended by a thread on line with the head, which they were required to grasp with their teeth, without the aid of the hands, re turning to the starting point with the same in their mouth, the best time win ning. The frantic efforts of the riders to grasp the elusive object or to get their horses to remain quiet in the proper po sition, were most amusing. Miss Naum berg, of New York, was the first to start homeward, but the prize escaped her on the way, and Dr. Frederick T. Hyde, of Boston, finished first, with Mr. George L. Moorman, of Philadelphia, Mrs. Leonard Tufts and Miss Mary C. Dutton, both of Boston, close after. Another new feature was the Button Sewing Contest, the riders selecting men from the onlookers', who were stationed upon the opposite side of the ring. At the word the riders were given cloth, button and thread, with which they hur ried across the ring with to their part ners, only to wait impatiently for the somewhat laborious and very ludicrous process of needle threading and button sewing. Only four stitches were re quired, but to most of the men they seemed like four hundred, leaving out all reference to preliminary preparation for the undertaking. Mrs. Tufts was first back, with Mr. Moorman and Miss Naum berg close after. The familiar Pursuit liaee was much enjoyed and resulted in several pretty contests, Mr. Moorman winning the rib bon by the cleverest work both in pursuit and escape, with the balance of the field tied for second place. A Sack Pace for children completed the ring events, the race being run in two heats. Masters Richard Tufts, Archie Heath and Harold Manning and Miss May Curren, made up the first division, and Masters Jack Upp, Pussell Jones, Samuel Collins and Frank Graydon the second. Masters Tufts, Manning and Jones and Graydon won the positions in the pre liminary heats, Masters Jones, Man ning and Tufts finishing first, second and third in the finals, after no end of trouble. The road events were both new, the first of which, the Water Carrying Con test, was exciting enough to satisfy the requirements of the most exacting, Dr. Hyde bringing matters to a climax with a thrilling finish with a graceful and, luckily, harmless tumble directly in front of the hotel porch. The trick was to ride to the top of the Dickinson School hillock and return, with a small pail of water, held at arms length, in the right hand, both the time made and the steadiness in carrying water, being considered in making awards. Mr. Moorman made forty-five and two fifths seconds, but had trouble on the finish. Mrs. Tufts did the trick beauti fully in forty-six seconds Hat, Dr. Hyde took two-fifths of a second more, and Miss Dutton sixty-two and three-fifths seconds. The ludicrous Night Cap and Pnjama Pace closed the program, and the same spirit of reckless riding which pervaded the water carrying contest, kept the on lookers guessing. The requirements were that contestants ride to the top of the Dickinson School hillock, dismount, put on a pnjama coat and a night-cap, which they were required to tie in a double how knot under the chin, mount and return to the starting point, the best time winning. Mr. Moorman made the trip in one minute and eight seconds, but was disqualified because he failed to tie the night cap with a double bow knot, Mrs. Tufts, who made the run in one minute eight and one fifth seconds, win ning the ribbon. Dr. Hyde made one minute sixteen and four-fifth seconds, and a polo pony finish well up towards The Carolina steps. Details of the afternoon were in the hands of judges S. E. Buck, A. II. Shaw and George H. Quincy, assisted by Miss Edna Johnson and Miss Helen Stevens, who awarded the ribbons. MISS IIK.VTI H wins. efatrt Mm. William in Teiiiii Fi- iials for Carolina Cup.
