...white-painted railing, de luxe box stalls, striped water buckets. Here performed prize mounts of Manhattan's police, a local U. S. artillery post, and various racing clubs. As a special surprise to Mr. Widener, his favorite horse, the great sprinter Osmand, was led in, ridden by Jockey Mack Garner. Mr. Widener almost sobbed with joy. Most spectacular event of the evening was a hunt tableau in which three hunters, (one, Biltmore President John McEntee Bowman's prize-winning Over There) were ridden down the track by pink-coated riders behind a pack of working hounds.
