The Horse Show.
Fine Display of Horses and Turnouts—The
Prize Winners.
PERMANENT ORGANIZATION EFFECTED
The Sewickley-Heights Horse
Show at Glacfmore Farm was a decided success. ■ The threatened
rain and a strong wind blowing
over the Heights kept many people
away. As it was there was a good
attendance; and the show was well
enjoyed by those fortunate enough
to be present. Great credit is due
the committee for giving the community the opportunity of viewing
so many splendid horses. As the
Horse Show is to become a fixed
feature of the autumn it should be
.made a gala day for the entire
countryside. It must surely be an
occasion 'to those who are appreciative of beauty and good points in
horses.
Promptly at 12 o'clock the show
"opened with class 8, saddle ponies;
Master Henry Oliver Rea winning
first and second prizes.
Glass.6, ladies' hunters, followed,
Miss Susan Shields Williams with
her horse, Freckles, winning.
Cl^ss 1, four-in-hands, included
some superb entries and must have
taxed the most excellent judgment
to keep in mind the many points and
render decision upon so many
beauties. However, A. R. Hamilton's quartet, Jasper, " Navajo,
Shadeland Mary and Shadeland
Cherry, received the silver cup and
blue ribbon; W. P. Snyder, second;
W. W. Willock, third; and B. F.
Jones, Jr., fourth.
Glass 4, ponies in harness, in4
eluded sixteen entries and as many
fine turnouts, in most cases driven
by the, little owners themselves.
Bootle Sportsman, a pony of fine
action and manners and "a beautiful animal owned by Miss Marion
Louise Allisan,tooktheoupj Archie,
owned by Frederick and Allen
Scaife, second, and Franklin J.
Willock's and Miss Adelaide Jones'
ponies,s third and fourth places in
the class.
In class 5, saddle horses, Mrs.
H. R. Rhea, with Blue Boy, won
first prize; W. P. Snyder with Pla-
teer, second; John G. Slack, with
"Manilla," third, and Belmont,
owned by Mrs. Willock, fourth. .
Glass 3, horses in harness, call-
ed out entries of many most excellent horses, of which Mrs. Willock's
beautiful little animal, Fritz, won
first judgment, coming in from the
course cool, calm, fine; Bull, owned
by J. W. Rhoades, won second;
High Life, owned by W. P. Snyder,
third, and No. 32, owned by J. H.
Ghilds, fourth.
The W. D. Henry exhibit of imported horses was a feast to lovers
of beautiful horses. No prizes were
offered in this entry, but each
graceful beauty passed out decorated with the badge of highest
honors of the day.
Glass 7, hunters performing over
the hurdle opened to fine entries
all through. Silver Tail, owned by
A. F. McDonald, carried off the
cup,, clearing the hurdles with a
graceful leap; Searchlight, owned
by D. G. Byers,second; Jim Jeffries,
owned by Walter Lyon, third, and
Ranligh, owned by R. J. Phillips,

very fine horses, the pair owned

prize; W. P. Snyder, second; B, F,

POPULAR OFFICIAL.
Mr. Sol Morningstar, Chief of the
Sewickley Police Force.
Chief Morningstar, who came to
our borough on January 15, last
has, aside from giving the public
satisfactory police protection, won
many friends. He is a liberal
minded, conscientious official, who
shows no favoritism and stands
ever ready to perform his duty.
It is owing to his energetic makeup that lawlessness has been reduced to a minimum within our
gates, and while not generally the
case with an officer, he is respected by the element he is called upon
to subdue. His former home was
Pittsburg, where he stands high in
fraternal circles, being a -member
of F. and A. M. Lodge No. 45,
Zerub'babel Chapter No. 162, and
Tancred Commandery No. 48,
Knights Templar. He has won
the esteem of the business men
and public of the valley who recognize his ability-as an officer.
