Judges Spring Surprises
in Horse Show Awards
More Shocks for RailbircU
When Ribbons in the
Champion ClaMes
Are Handed
Out.
The Jvdges began tneir work on the
ehamplons at Madlson Bquare Qarden
yesterday. and the awards were of the
klnd that sprung surprises. Claes 41 was
for pairs of roadsters ln competltlon for
the champlonshlp, and here the Judges
handed out a declslon that wm pus
zllng.
C.aas 'Si had been judged Just prevloua
to thls, and Wllllam M. V. Hoffman's
chestnut geldir.g Teneriffe. winner of a
hundred blues, and his new mate. Brown
J Star, were placed ahead of Horatio N.
| Bain'.*. brown mare. Frances Bain. and
her mate, Quartermaster Robblns. The
i class called for correct appolntments, and
: wagons, harness, robes, whips, ete,
j eounted 80 per cent ln the atandard. In
. the champion class horaes only were con
.idered. and thls may have been the rea?
son that the judges reversed their de
; ciston nnd placed Mr. Baln's pair over
the Hoffman chestnut*, or It may have
heen that Brown fltar did not behave ao
; well ln the champion claaa aa he did ln
I the prevloua one.
In the champion class for slngle road
j sters no one could undcrstand the de
; ctatoa. Gail Constantlne, from the stable
, of Robert Ooetet; Wllllam Hoffman's
Mahion Wlikts and Teneriffe; E. T.
Kt-ites.'iry's Ruhy and Horatio N. Baln's
Francet Iiain answered the bugle call.
Oail Constantlne can beat anything ln
the show-rlng on conformatlon and style.
hut she has not yet learned just what to
do, as she ls a novUe Teneriffe ls OOB*

llttle geldlng, with coneiderable speed.
which Jo?eph Glbbons has hnmlled on the
Speed way for a couple of seaaons.
The Judges arrlved at their declslon by
the process of ellminatlon. Flrst they
sent Oail from the riag. then Teneriffe.
and flnally only Mahion Wtlkcs and
Ruby were left. The coveted trlcolor was
finally fastened on the brldle of Ruby,
while Mahion Wllkes sported the re*erve.
The champlonshlp for ronles lay between
Miss Dorothy Wehb's baby mare. Sweet
Frlar, and Miss Mona Dunn's Merrylega?
at least that ls what every one supposed?
but as lt turned out Merrylegs did not
tven get a look in. Clata :04 was Judged
jwst previous to the champlonshlp, and
thi? enlled for chlldren's ponles, to be
ridden by children not more than flfteen
years old. Some of the ponies were un
ruly, and two of them managed to dump
their young riders on the tanbark. but
fortunateiy no one was hurt.
The Judges flnally seleeted Sweet Brlar.
wlth Mlss Ivy Madlson up; Sir Gaye, rid?
den by H-Bl Allce Beavor-Webb; Merry?
legs. who waa in the hand* of Mlas D.
Clemer.ta; Harvey Ladow's Cardlff. Payne
Whltney's Carlton Quallty and Mra.
C'liarle-; M. Fleischmann's Lady Idol. The
two last r.ntned were flr.-llyellmlna.ted. and
this left Sweet Brlar. Merrylegs. Blr Gayo
ar.d C.rdlff. Sir 0*78 ia not partlcularly
attraethr* looking in a pony r'?"s. at ?oa-'rt
he is not of the type that would please
th* lav mlnd, and th" award whlch placed
him over llttle Meirylegs was not popu?
lar wlth the spectators. Sweet Brlar won
the bluei as she well deserved to. for she
is an almost perfect eperlnvn of pony.
"Jack ' Bowman rode her ln the cham?
pion claas. whlch was next on the pro
gramme. It was Mr. Bowman who said
that he believed that if Sweet Brlar had
t*vo more inche. ln helght she could
beat anything in the world, and there are
\ lenty of people who agree wlth him. The
resc-rve pussed over Sir Ga> e and Merry- J
legs and went to Effle, a bay mare from
the Auburn Farm.
Wllllam H. Moore tontlnued hls euc
cesses urdnterrupted In the harnes* claa?.
He started ln the afternoon by drlvlng
]>,rd and Lady Featon to vlctory ln a
class whlch lncluded Nlmbtia and Rllllng
ton Nimble, Lady Aukland and Marqulse
and J. Campbell Thompron's Cambrldge
King nnd Storm King. The horsea fln
lshe.l ln the order named.
Mrs. Paul Moore handled Menella and
Phyllls ln Cla.s SO. whlch called for palrs
to laciies' phaetons. Mrs. Belle Beach
drove for J. Sumner Draper. She handled
Baronrt and Satlre as only Mrs. Beacli
could. Mrs. E. L. Tinker sat behind James
McLean's Leader of Fashlon and Leadlng
Lady; Emll k'aeltg-a chestnut marea Man
dida and Sprlng Mald were ln th* handa
of Miss Louise Van Wyck and Mr*. Jullus
S. Walsh drove Honor Boy and Honor
Brlght. Mrs. Beach's pair were chosen
to wear the red over Mr*. Tinker** browns
and th* white went to Mandida and Sprlng
Mald.

[By T*l*rraph to The Trlbune. 1
Ottawa, Nov. 22.?A car embargo by
the Delaware & Hudson Rallway Com?
pany, notlce of whlch was recelved here
to-day, puts Eastern Canada face to face
wlth a serlous sltuatlon ln regard to
eoal aupply.
The Delaware _ Hudson. over whose
lines most of the eoal consumed in thls
part of Canada rea'hes the border, an
nounces that the Canadlan rallway lines
to which the eoal cars are transferred
on reachlng thls country are not prompt
ly returning the emptles and therefore
no more cars wlll be released for trans
port from I'nlted States points. This
embargo. the Delaware & Hudson say*.
I will continue untll ihe mfsslng cars are
I sent back.
The Rallway Commission has not yet
i recelved notice of the embargo, but, ac?
cording to one of the offlcials, as soon
as formal complaint in made steps will
be taken to compel the Canadlan lines to
show cause why the cars should not be
immedlately returned. The c:otnmlssion
apparently has no power to prevent the
appllcatlon.of an embargo by an Ameri?

[By Telegraph to The Trlhune.l
Philadelphia. Nov. 22-The "long and
short haul" custom of frelght charges
was BftBBBBBSB to-day at the hearlng on
eoal rates before the State Railroad Com?
mission. Harry ... Bellis, the statisttcian
who figured out for the commission yes?
terday the exact cost of carrylng eoal,
was on the stand for cross-examinatlon
by Charles H. Heebner. attorney for the
rhlladelphla _ Keadlng Railroad Com?

Mr. Heebner asked many questions de

Of Philadelphia because the buylness at
the Reading'a Port Rlchmond piers helped
tO bulld up the ctty. Mr. Bellis hnally
said he thought Philadelphia. because of
Its proximity to the eoal fields, should
take advantage of lt to |Ot all the btst
ness it could.
Mr. Heebner trled to make the witness
sav that last year'a earnings on general
merchandlse, 9 6-10 mllls, ought to be
taken Into conslderatlon. Mr. Bellis said
on a 2.000-pound-ton basls the revenue
rate on anthraclte eoal would be reduced
from 6 to 5 mllla, and, flnally, after con
sldering a back haul to about i. He
said, In answer to Commlssloner Tepny
packer, that the rate "per ton per mlle"
on general merchandlse waa greater than
that cn anthraclte eoal?about 7 mllls a
mlle.
Mr. Bellis e.?tltnated ye*terday the proflt
on a speolfied truln of eoal at Sl.bTl. He
had ba?ed the cost on the rallroad's re?
port* statement that operatlon cost 64 per
eent of the gross revenue To-day, Mr.
Heebner, revlewlng that statement, said:
"Ar? we to understand that that fl.em

"*\*hat other .? per cent?" anked Mr.
Bellis.
"Why. the other M p*r cent of the cost
'of brlnging such a traln here."
"Well," said Mr. Bellis slowly, 'lf you
wnnt the people of Philadelphia to be
li?ve that It cost 100 per cnt of the gross

Henry G. Jamea, an automobile dealer
of Detroit, waa on the stand all day, and
wlll contlnue his testtmony on Monday,
the court decidlng to have no Paturday

I s-nt to agents of the company, aecordlng

National Cash Register magaxlnea.
In one of the magazlnes the prosecutlon
read an artlcle fctatlng that $5 would be
taken from the sale of each Natlonal ma?
chlne in order to maintain a "competition
department." From the aame magazine
Mr. Wilson, attorney for the defence, read
a atatement that the National company
paid $300,000 to protect Its patent rhjnta.
Jamefe testllled that Captaln James
Crane, president of Crane & Co., of thla
city, general agent* for the Natlonal com?
pany. had foliowed hlm abcut when he
was an agent for Benalnger & Co., telllng
hlm he had better go over to the Na?
tional company. aa Bensinger A Co. ware
lnfrlnging on patent righta. He learned
later that Bensinger & Co. had been sold
to the Natlonal, and he waa sent to Cleve
land as sub-agent for Crane * Co. Whlle
there he received numerous "knocker
cards," to be fllled out whenever a rlval
machlne was "wiped out," whether it
was replaced with a National or not, and
he said the general trend of the lettera
from Crane & Co. was to "wlpe out the
oppositlon entirely."
A letter was read from Crane to James
IBTlaaf: "Try to get the salesman of the
I.anson company to come over to the Na?
tlonal."
James testlfivd he waa made dlBtrict
manager at Detroit in 1905. He aaid
"knockout men" worked only in sales
where oppositlon waa found, and lt was
his duty to place National machinea by
any mear.s rather than allow oppositlon
to enter the terrltory. Whenever he heard
of a new machlne comlng into the fleld.
h* aaid. all he had to do wa* to call for
the "knockout men."
