Saturday.
The Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Sociely's
horse show was not royalty attended last sat
urday, although attended by royalty.
There are many reasons for this years fairs
failure to draw a crowd. The first reason We
Sc, forth two years ago. The second reason is
the over work Of the present secretary-that
gentleman being too busy with his arduous
duties in the foreign office, where he has on
his hands the Afghan Agony the " Franco
Chinese Complication, the " Russian German
misunderstanding, the Guardianship Of the
the Southern Seas, and other diplomatic diff
fculties, to devote enough OF his time and at
teniion to agricultural interests. There are
other reasons also-among them the hard
times and the too great distance OF Kapiolani
Park from town to be the proper site for such
show.
Blu, despite the poor attendance the horse
show at knpiolani Park was well worth visit.
There were some splendid looking animals eN-
hibitrd. The longest list OF animals was that
of Mr. b. +. Dillingham;; and some OF the
best horses shown were his. His Majesty entered
two beautiful black two-year.olds, that had
been trained by Mr.. Miles so admirably As to
win a tribute Of appreciation from every per-
son ON the grounds, not less Tor the perfection
OF their beauty and style. They were driven in
low double phaeton belonging to the Hawai-
ian Hotel Stables. A team of colts belonging to
Mr., Dillingham;, and also broken by Mr.. Miles,
attracted much attention. Mr.. Allen Herbert 5
fine roadster Honest John showed TO advan-
tage, Mr., James Campbelfs Shenandoah and
Mr. L. X. Miles I.angford, lr., were greatly
admired, Lanford's golden-satin coat being es-
pecially noted by the ladies'. Judge Judd's
lilly Fourth OF July, winning the prize for its
class, was the pret,iest strawberry roam on the
grounds Mr.. John Cumaains' Telephone was
