XR.BEITII'S HORSES VICTORIO US. Conld the people of West Durham have witrlessed the entiiusiasmn thal marked the awarding o f the $25o Challenge Cup prize t o Gribthorpe Playmate, Mr. Beitb's recently import- ed three year old Hackney stallion for the bost Hackutey in the show, the coin- petition being open to ail stallilons taking firsî prizes mn al the Uackney stallion classes this year andt 1 stallions having taken a finst'prize in any of the National Horse Show Association's previous exhibitions, they would have doue as several other Canadians diti- shout andi clap with greatest satistact- ion. The contest was an excoediugly keen one and very groat intorest was. manifestoti in this awand. This was the prize won last year by Robin Adair II, thon owned sund sbown by Mr RobI. Beitb, M. P., Bowmanville Later lu the yean at the great Philadoîphia Hlorse Show the H-ackney stallkiîm Fiery Dane won the championsoip o v e r Robin Adain. lHe was aIso beaten, by Gribthorpe Playmate, so that lho bad Co defeat two former champions besides ai!l the other 'firsl pnize horses that came against him. This wvas consider- ed the greatest victory of the show and rnany were the fiendly hantishakos andi hearty congratulations Mr. Beitb receivod from horseman andi othors proserit on his second gre tt vicboî'y, havingr won t heo campionship o! America bwo years lu succession each sear with a different horse, wbich goes to prove that. Mn, Beiîh knows a good horse when ho sees one. Mn. Beith's 'Playmate" had previons- lY been awanded $125 as first pnize 'in the 3-yr old liackney Clasg over 15 bauds in, a strong class. Another of Mn Beith's receut importation, B. B, Ivy, 8 yr old chosînul mare, 15J hands, was awarded $100 pn.ze over ail comn- petitors. Sureiy wben a man .eau sweep the field witb bis horses lu the keen competition of a National Hiorse Show it is sometbing more. than ompty victory. We join with Mn. Beitb's many fientsin l offering congratulation on bis splendid suceoss. In this conuec- lion we wish to say Ibat tu Mn. Thomas A. Grabam of Claremoul, brother o! Mn. David Graham of Bowmanville, wbo sbowed Mn. Beitb's horse,_ is due very much credit for t hein success, foi very much depends on the skill with wbich honses are han dled at the New York Show. la our opinion Mn.
