Huntington THE HUNTINGTON BAY CLUB HORSE SHOW, since its inception, owing to the unusual facilities which it has to offer, has been especially attractive both to exhibitors and spectators, and, as a consequence, it has grown in popularity until the management have found it absolutely necessary to add an extra day. The show will be held this year on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 17th, 18th and 19th. A prize list, containing sixty-eight classes, has been issued and entries closed on June 8th. A number of improvements have been made, prominent among these being the installing of a permanent jumping course for hunters.

The prize list includes many new and special features. In addition to those covered by the prize list, a supplemental list is being issued by the committee, in which are included a class for model hunters to be shown in hand, a pony jumping class for children under eighteen years of age ridden by amateurs, etc. In order to insure that hunters are entered under the proper classification, the light weights, middle weights and heavy weights will appear before the judges in hand on Thursday before entering the performance classes. The barriers to be jumped in the hunter classes will be about four feet high. In the classes for the Cup offered by the Jockey Club Breeding Bureau, the conditions have been changed so that stallions, mares and geldings, three years old and over, sired by stallions which are the property of the United States Government Remount Department, will also be eligible.
