were losing sight of, but walked mp 10 its I'M

This, then is one Of the very good thiGgs which
have resulted, and will result from these horse
shows" They do tend to improvement; aud this,
think will do more than all the others, because there
is more remarkably good stock here, and decidedly
more interest felt In the subject OF Improvement fof

cannot, of course, 10 one day name all the horses
here well worthy OF notice, but among the most cele-
bIated will Ma ne the following:
Col. Hill of Vermont, Black Hawk.
Mr.. Russell Of Middletown, Ct, Il line horse called
Clarion
MIR John Hubbard of Middletown has one of the
finest gefdings on the ground, called Prince.
MIR. Denny has Pocahonias and her two Ethan Alen
colts and three fine young horses out Of Mary Taylor
late Of Long Island.
David Leavit, jr. has Highland Maid, and very
fne-,ooking colt.
Mr.. TwiIchel Of birmingham, Mass has ak prom
ising horses, in various classes.
Mr.. Lindsey of Meriden has Pathfinder, and a colt
more promising than the old horse.
TiLotson, Cassely & Co.. OF Vermont, have good
horse called Morrell Pathfinder.
Daniel Carpenter OF Rhode leland has ak horses OF
the fast order Of trotters.
Charles Batthgate of Westchester has three very
maIkabe Patchen horse colts and mare colt that at
tract a great deal of attention from all who are
auaiDted with that fine breed OF horses One OF these
6ose cots is three years old, and the other two FIVE
years The one called New.Jersey is out Of Gibbons
thoroughbred mare, Patsey Anthony, and sho VS. the
bloed most remarkably. The one called Major Low Is
out of Julia by Messenger Eclipse, and 30 back
through a long line of good blood, which will tell at
some future day. MIR. Batthga.s does not enter for
premiums and therefore VIII mol De KNOWN 10 reAoers
of the prize list.
There is a pair of fine large carriage horses here
from Milwaukee, and from Bangor Me-, there are
some very good horses, which have some OF the old
MesseI ger blood.
Simeon Leland, of Japanese and Metropolitan Hotel
notorety is here with four finland team, from his
pslatia residence at Ne~ Rochelle.
Mr.. Herring, the safe man, Is also here with four
horses each OF which looks able to haul one OF his
hea lest safes.
The ruck teams fear are not likely to make very
good show-at least, they did not to-day.
Caleb Tompkins of Mamaroneck, has four good
hoTses.
Mr.. Booth of Morrsania the former ownfr Of Trus-
tee has fine sorrel mare called Narcissus, grand
daughter of Polly Hopkins.
Mr. Alex. Batbgate of Morrisania has thorough
bred horse called Comet, sired By Trustee.
Mr. Griffin of Middletown, Conn has thorough
bred bay mare, which will show her speed on Friday
with Narcissus, and probably Comet
For the prize for the best walking horse there
fourteen entries and seven of the lot are Morrell
horses.
The show of two and three-year old colts ia better
than has ever been together in America and a.
general thing, the quality Of horses shown 10 very re-
markably better than at any previous exhibition.
1t is the opinion here that Connecticut mas the fares
show for the IriZe banner far as numbers are con-
cerned but New York has the largest number of vslu-
able horses
must not omit 10 mention that the same remarkable
team of aged no 'ses, which now make up over l07
wears, which were exhibited here two years ago by
their owner Lewis Il. Brown of New York, are here,
and lookir in better condition than thea and able to
show speed seldom equaed by any four in hand
team 1t is almost superaous to say that this team is
one Of he most attractive features in the exhibition.
TIE largest turnout from single towns, out OF Massa
chusetts is frcm Mlddeto@n and Merlden, Conn.,
over twenty horses each.
Westchester County makes the largest turnout OF
any county in the State of New York, and probably
uger than four or five other countless and what is
worthy of notice, the stock is of the most valuable
kId, and does honor to that section of the Empire
State.
One Of the best thugs that have heard about the
management Of this exhibition, is, that the managers
have utterly refused proposition to hire Pachen and
Flora Temple to 0 axe one Of their share and share
agreed races for the of greeDhorns who do
not understand the sham of their being hired do the
lob upon Just such terms livery stable keeper
hires cut his horses TO some 2:40 Young American
fast ones for brush the road. This decision rules
out the rowdy element aud betting fraternity that
usually attend these sham trotting matches
The trial Of speed between the thoroughbred colts
which will come off on Friday will attract good deal
of attention from the class of people who usually at
tend ths iara and no doubt will add very much to
the interest of the exhibition. Tomorrow and next
day will both DO great days for the country people,
who in by railroad and in their wagons, TO
return home at night. If any more dodgers come here,
Springfield will have to be expanded for the last trains
this evening have brought large accessions to the
crowd S..
