strictly horsey point OF view. The entries

two prizes offered for them, aggregating
81, 800. They we're introduced last year at
the instance of Seward Webb, aid last

terest In them. A j entries must have ped
igrees recorded in the Hackney Stud Book
of England. The horses are all imported
and vary in value from 5000 to $4,000. 1t
is said that the aggregate value Of this

that Of the Garden itself.
In past years the horses entered have
come chiefly from scattered states. This
year the management caters to the west.
Arrangements have been made with the
trunk line railroads by which oil exhibited
horses returned to the west unsold within
thirty days of the close Of the show will be
returned free to the point whence they
came, their transportation thus costing
their owners only the full fare one way.
Among the horses exhibited will be set
of Irish hunters, recently imported by ex-
Mayor William r. Grace of New York.
The celebrated Tenny will also be on erhi-
bition. ALI the big stables and stock farms
both Of gentlemen and breeders, will be
represented, and it Is believed the collection
OF horse flesh will be the finest ever seen in
this country. HENRY L. HARDY.
