near 7'id. d Iel:-No morning O
september has broken more clear anG
beautiful upon the Connecticut VALLEY
than did this, the opening morning o.
the National Horse Show. The sky was
blue, the air was bland, and the earth
still fresh with Saturdays rain, wa,
"beautiful exceedingly" The manag.
ers OF the show must have felt warm
feeling about their hearts as they issued
forth to the labors Of the day, and such
an abundant promise of success to theil
long labors.
UP to O'Clock last evening $50 en-
tries had been made, and the office of
the secretary was crowded at an early
ho"r tins morning, still entering their
stock, and the crowd continued till the
books were removed to Hampden Park,
at the opening of the show, which took
place at O'Clock A. NJ. Gilmore's eel
ebrated band, Of Salem, commenced the
exercises by playing Hail Columbia, af-
ter which Mr. Bliss, the president, made
an explanation Of the principles that had
guided the managers in arranging the
premiums. Ten o'clock brought on the
general cavalcade Of ali horses entered
for exhibition, and it was such a caval-
cade OF horses as was never seen in this
country before, if ever in the world.
The half mile track was almost literally
full around its whole circuit-in many
places seven and eight teams abreast.
Mingling among the cavalcade noticed
three very graceful and pretty dressed
lady equestrians Nothing could be f.
ner than this immense moving circle OF
oyerfowing and yet obedient animal life.
At IL o'clock, all the horses were col
lected in classes, and subjected to the
inspection Of the. judges, while the spec
tators were amused by the excellent mu-
SIC OF the band, and by volunteer at
tempts on the parts of the exhibitors to
show the PAGES of their animals. The
most interesting Of these was the run
ming of "Sultan," the magnificent thor
ough bred stallion of Mr.. Phillips, of
Phillips, Sampson &c Co., of Boston.
He was run under the saddle, and per-
formed like greyhound.
AT half past i, the farm and draught
horses were brought before the Judges
stand for inspection, and attracted an
interested crowd of agriculturalists
some valuable and excellent animals
were exhibited. The whole day was
occupied by inspection of the different
classes of horses, by the judges. The
Hartford papers say that 100000 worth
of horses arrived there by the steamer
Granite State from New York, on Sat.
urday, on their way to the horse show
here. One of them, the famous Duroc
is alone valued at $4,000. A number Of
car loads Of horses came down by the
Connecticut River railroad this evening
and will appear tomorrow.
