One Of the raclest Jstes Of this week was to your
correspondent the fun at the horse show on the day
the prize horses were exhibited. More than three
thousand eight hundred persons had assembled to
see them skim along the nave Of the palais put to
the soil at fearful pace and rafting their light
vehicles to splinters The jockeys stood at the ex-
tremity OF the edi6ce In scarlet coats and knee.
breeches, presenting the aspect OF poppy field to
the spectators who stood on every available point
all around. Flutes and trolnb0nes gave the signal,
hurrahs rent the air. and the horses laureat, with
extended nOstris, flashing eyes and waving tails did
all they could to bow. One sportsman threw his
buttOn-hole bouquet Of violets to a Norman mare
and she turned up her nose OF the offering. The
names OF the hippc stars are Arnold Ceur de File
Atalante' Romeo, Bayadere and harmomeux, and

money, glory and ribs, both roast and broken, not
forgetting two sorts of stakes and sausage meat
The dresses at the show were really very horsy,
and those worn by violent equestrian females were as

ornaments or gold stirrups One out and outer had
an Isabelle bonnet skewered on the top OF Titan
chignOn with pair Of needles topped with spurs.
While the horses were performing their galop after
the hippque cotillOn above described these htpptQe
ladies shook all their trappings enthusiastically.
These excessive styles Of dress have at last been pro-
hiblted at Court. The Queen Of Saxony set the re-
strictive example by forbidding certain chignon
to appear before her. 1t was bushy, curly affair,
coming out OF kind of Lord Chancellor's wig. Inc
wearer has left Dresden In sad disgrace.
The prettiest style OF corsage now adopted Is the
poonaise shawl bodice, fastened on the left side.
Black gros grain skirts are still relieved by cOored
sashes The necktie and hair ribbon OF the same
shade are de 9'igueur.
Another rigorous ornament is the cockchafer in
aigrettes, earrings and on ones neck The newest
earring is diamond button that does not hang from
the ear but Is put through like stud and looks like
q diamond nail. .-4 l...l
