FIRST MOVEMENT.
The ladies and their male compan-
ions were called up in front of the
Judges stand, and informed that they
would be required first to ride around
the entire course, sharp. Pretty
sharp gait" exclaimed Mr.. Rose, as
they were going.
Previously, the desire to see every
thing connected with the exhibition
had become so intense, among the
spectators on the Grand Stand, that
the males stood on the benches. This
obstructed the view of many of the
ladies and children. Mr.. Rose had to
request that gentlemen would keep
their seats, and it had the desired
effect, with the assistance of manifold
remindersI from Captain Byrd, in
charge of the special police on the
ground.
In this first movement, Mrs. Pleas
ants led. She had a very handsome
and spirited animal, of dun color,
and was followed in by Miss Haley.
Both were the recipients Of warm ap-
plause on their arrival. 1t was said
that Mrs. Peasants did not really need
a saddle, as she could ride the course
without one, she was so skillful rider.
A voice, among the spectators in the
area ON the inside of the track: "HOw
do the pools stand?" Qaughter.) An
other voice, as the other ladies came
down the home stretch: "SOme Of
them are far enough behind to be dis
tanced."
In conection with Mrs. Peasants
arrival, there was an amusing in
stance. She was accompanied by her
husband, on a gray, and he could not
keep up.
THE SECOND MOVEMENT
Consisted in rapidly riding forward
a short distance and whirling quickly
and gracefully. This occupied a long
time. Each Of the contestants was
allowed ample opportunity to exhibit
how we'll she could do it. The horse
of one of the ladies seemed decidedly
vicious, and did some unexpected cur
veting. Miss Haley was the only one
who walked her horse backwards. She
did it we'll, several times, and was
rapturously applauded; and at one
time many of the spectators on the
Grand Stand cried out "First pre-
MUM! First premium"
This was followed by renewed ap-
plause. All the movements having
been executed,
Mr.. Rose rang the bell, and called all
the contestants up before the judges
stand, and said: "YOu will please go
slowly around the course, accompanied
by your escorts, while the judges cast
their votes and preparation is being
made to announce the result.
When they came in, Mr.. Rose again
said: Before announcing the result, i
will say that there has been no talk
ing among the Judges. Each Judge
voted a ticket, on which he or she in
dicated who should be first, second,
third and SO on. The result of the
general vote is that Miss Haley is
awarded the first choice, and stands
No. l; Miss Gotta, 2; Mrs. Peasants, 3;
