This exhibit caused much excitement, and there
was IA large body of Spectators, who were at first
y
they applauded heartily all the good eaping and
laughed vigorously at the bad On the north side
of the Enclosure there were two tour-barred rails,
rather close together On the other side there was
another four barred rail, and beyond that wooden
wall. Then in the centre was the waterJulnp, with
an imprOmptu hedge in front. High temporary
ratings of wood were arranged on each side of
this TO prevent horses swerviug. There were
eleven entries in this class out of sixteen
nominations, but the riders in most instances
were gTOOmS or jockeys. W. RUTHERFORD
rode his own hunter Hampstead and was recognized
flsPrfI t,g IN ON
tered his chestnut geldinG Leo, but II was under
stood that it was ridden by one OF the attaches of
the hunt OF which Mr.. GebhaTd is master. Other
entries were F. PaysOn's Plnaf9re ridden by SaIt, a
Jockey; w. Z. DOuglasss FOXbOrOngh, Charles q.

MOrgan's Kathleen, |. f.. COwdin's Rachel, Mrs; A.
Belmont Purdy's Kingston and A. Belmont PuTd,'o
Bismarck Just after the leaping began Mayor
Edison appeared and read his speech, which was i'll
audible to every one save the members of the EX-
ecutive Committee who stood barehcaded and
seemed deeply impressed. Leaping the brook was
jumping being done by Mr.. Rutherford on
Hampstead, and by groom ON Kathleen: The
rails and wall were well taken by the majority and
with the exception of little nervousness az start
ing twas cledtabe display. Mr.. Rutherford
took all the four first jumps handsomely every one
being followed by a roar of applause. Then heTode
around the Enclosure and took tine water jump from
the other end. His horse baked the first time but
he recovered him with touch of the spur and a cut
of the whip, and keeping hS head straight, went at
il with rush, and cleared IL beautifully. Carroll
Livingston was the judge and awarded the first
highly commended Kathleen. Leo houndcrcd into
the water jump disgracelully and hardly deserved
to he ranked before Kathleen.
After the trial of the hunters the Enclosure
cleared of its rails aud the competing fire horses
were led around, Fire Company No. 80 winning the
prize, set of harness Then came the turn of Class
SZ-saddle hOTses-judged by Miguel Alec of this
city, sixteen horses were brought into the ring for
trial: ID. b. Lees Bessie, Ii. IL. HOLSTERS Brandy

Mahogany. +. K. Rives,s Westminster, A. Z.

Smiths Cuba, Fl. +. 1remans Baby Queen, w. X.
Ogden's Clavet w. II. Guuther's Don Carlos, j. II.
They first walked then trotted aud then cantered
III pairs Then the judge sent away all but Estes,
Don Carlos, Baby Queen, Mahogany, Brandy
and Bessie. Their riders were directed TO
make them go through the performance OF shoulder
IN, shoulder out, Wheeling in snort circles, aud
other methods of showing perfection of breaking TO
the bit. The riding was admirable. Estes was
ridden by his owner; so was Brilliant. Mahogany
was ridden by Mr. BlassOm, who also rode Bessie
the first premium to Estes, second to Brilliant, very
honorable mention to Mahogany, and honorable
mention TO Brandy. The verdict was received WITH W.T.
loud applause and was considered emine9tly Just.
If the prizes had been given for riding Mr. kinly,
Mr.. Clausen, Mr. Zayas, and MIR. Blassom would
have made something like dead heat for they all
rode admirably.
In the evening Nj. Miguel also judged one class
of the section for ponies No. So for stations four
years old and over, and exceeding II hands IN
height. The first prize of $40 awarded to A.
J. Cassatts Little Wonder, and the second to
Jim was highly commended. After this
came the exercising of hunters over the wooden wall
and four sets of rails disposed around the enclosure.
The imported lady riders made their appearance
but disappointed every one from the badness of
their mounts. Miss Melnsh appeared the better,
though the less graceful rider of tine two Miss
Kings horse swerved repeatedly and at last fell in
heap over the wall jump, turning the wooden
affair upside down and giving the rider Il severe
fall, which prevented her riding for the rest OF the
evening. Mr. Potter distinguished himself by his
graceful riding and good jumping.
