SQUAD OF MOUNTED POLICE DRILL
WINNERS OF THE PRIZES.
The uniformly large attendance at the horse show
In the Madison Square Garden Amphitheatre is
evidence OF the popularity Of the exhibition. Yester
DAY the crowds larger than the two previous
days, and last night the was extremely animated
Throngs OF gayy-attired promenaders went around
the tanbark enclosure and the seats and boxes
were filled with happy parties. The programme is so
arranged that the exercises Of both the afternoons
and evenings close with exhibitions of Jumping. These
are decidedly the most popular features with the
spectators, and great deal Of excitement always pre-
walls during the eaping of the horses over the hurdles
The good riders and Jumpers heartily applauded
while those who perform badly whether man or beast
are subjected to a great deal Of raillery.
J. L. Kemochan and Foxhsn Keene, two skilful
amateurs, have number of the best mounts at every
performance, and both acquit themselves with credit
Invariably. Several horses have fallen, and two or
three riders have been unscated but far no one has
been hurt Often horse runs up to a hurdle, knocks
II over anc then jumps over The fallen rails. AT
such times the spectators laugh as heartily as they
usually do at the antics OF the clowns in the circus
ring. Occasionally the Jumpers perform rather
startling feats. For instance, last night. Elliot
Zborowsh1's Countess, In making the double jump,
eaped far the first fence that she landed near
enough to take the second without advancing foot.
The crowd cheered wildly, and 1t was, indeed,
splendid jump
During the afternoon the spectators enjoyed them
selves inspecting and caressng the ponies in the
stalls around the arena, and the little fellows seemed
to enjoy 1t too. Among the wellknown people seen
at the exhibition yesterday and last night we're
