than YESTERDAY. There was the usual amount ol
breeders and owners, put with which the visiting
public felt little concern. The mules ana IackIs
were inspected, and those enormous 6rutes, plnk
and Dinah received due honors, which they @ pore
with becoming modesty. Cobs and T-cart horses
came next and then came of the main incidents

took place at half-past IL, when the number OF
people in the building was comparatively M sla,i,
though it was much larger than on on, the previous
days at that hour. When the beautiful bay mare
from Kentucky had disappeared 1T was the turn OF
the four-year-old Percheron stations to come lor

There were ten of them. They were nearly al

boisterous in his playfulness that he dragged MS
stout keeper about as he liked and ran agalnst one
of the Executive Committee who was rldlng 3 apouI
the enclosure doing the duty of a marshal. lheIe
was a prospect that both horse and man would come
down, but the rider was skllful ana quick, anu tne
steed was Obedient and ready, so that no damage
was done. One great creature. a gray with q name
as white as seaf0am, stood IN the centre OF Ie IIg
in picturesque TepOse, holding his head manu-
somey and showing the true points OF the PeIchero
massive hndquaTters and shoulders, siTLo TI

second jump, mainly because the spectators ha1
crowded at that particular spot some even slanid-

Then came a parade of all the winning horses
in the ring, which was speclascbto p.as b,ooSi Si
much interest. There was such variety OF Oleeds
and STYLES of action, such beauty OF form ana coIoIi
that cries of admiration arose from every part OF
the huge building The Two ra9S rSI wTIe with cSV
airy seat the great coaching stations nom rance
pounded the tan the cobs glanced ~ wlth their
high stepping English action; MIR. Wilson hnnselI
led i'm LADY De JaInett; the beautiful Spendthrift
showed his glorious form the black mare CIeIIa
switched her tail and tossed her name proudly her
delicate nostrils quivering with high-strung emo
tion. The led Arab was full of glory, as lI1Sh
erooms saw. and tugged tremendously at the lead
ing rein, bounding into the 9ir when TjoT the the
little Shetland ponies appeared like dogs when
mnglng with their big brothers and sisters p1 10
cherons half of those in the ring were sent out.
Then one of the Executive Committee, who was was
acting as marshal, approached Mr.. Wilson and SAID
something to him. He led the mare out. Quickly
the enclosure was cleared and soon Lady de Jar;
nett reappeared hamessed to buggy, and
was speeded around the ,encoSuTe ,amd
turmultuOus applause. Colonel Rockelel-
ler's Cleora was also harnessed TO a
buggy and the two had short brushes, which only
showed the superiority of the Lady. But Cleora is
nevertheless fast and beautiful creature. Every
BODY was satisfied and more than satisfied with the
parade And when Mr.. Wilson Teined his mare
back both straight and in short circle, when he
showed in every way by the shortest turns, and the
took her in time to the music so that her hoofs
beat out the measure with the precision Of young
MIR Wharton came out to Mr.. Wilson, shook hands
with him and cOmplimented him on his mare.
