New York, .November Is. Society has
decided that early visits to the horse
show may be INDUCED in without out
raging any of the laws which govern
that exclusive body, and the observ ance
of this fad" was noticeable in the in
creased attendance this morning. The
box owners made their appearance long
before noon. and as the judging went on
the society element became more and
more conspicuous.
The managers of the show gave out
some figures today which indicated that
80 far as attendance goes, the present ex-
hibition is away ahead of any of its pre-
decessors. On the first day the total at
tendance was 9245, and on Tuesday, it
{ increased to 10,754, and yesterday it took
| another jump to 12, 1853. Judging from
| the unusually large numte er OF visitors
| this morning tie days receipts will
show still further increase.
Ex-Secretary VIC. Whitney and George
Peabody Wetmore the ring committee,
| today were in the ring at an early hour.
Mrs. Marion Story, the well known writer

ribbons to her credit today. In 1.-The
| morning, her Imp-Rockey Ill. black,
! by Confidence, dam Blackie, secured the
white ribbon in the class for pony stall
lions; He took third prize yesterday in

| for pair of mares not exceeding AL
| hands high, in which Mrs. MarionStory's
pair of mares, Lady Elsie, brown, and
Lady Ethel, bay, We're awarded first
prize.
The class for trotting stations four
| years old or over, brought out magnif-
| cent lot of animals in competition.
| tamhoul, the magnificent California
| bred stallion, now owned by E. H. Har-
| riman, was in perfect condition and
| form; the crowd awarded him the first
prize long before the:.judgess;Thad The blue
ribbon pinned to his bride. Between
| the rest of the lot competition was
| sharp. W.B. Diokerman secured second

Artillery, ,aaout of Terry Clay, by Henry
| Clay. Silvery Chimes, son of Chimes,
was placed third, and Pawnee, son of

| best appreciated by horsemen when
| they understand that such good horses
as Chimes, Lavlard, Wisdom and King

| Four hackney stall1ons, with three of
q.
! were in the last class OF horses judged
| in the afternoon Matchless, of Lones-
| boro, who had Wednesdays herd prize,

Long before the evening show began,
every seat in the balcony was occupied,
| though the boxes and reserved seats
had few occupants When the first class
| was called in the evening, the crush was
| even greater than that of last evening.
| The feature, and pretty one, toe, was
| the class for high steppers. The judges,
after the preliminary parade, cut the
number of actual competitors down to
four. After a test at speed for 20 min
utes to try the endurance of the selected
ones, Rockingam, Hurlingham, Gladys
and Cade, the awards were made in the
order named, 9the first two belonging to
O.H.P. Belmont, the third to Harry
| Halmin and the fourth to the New York
| Coach Horse and Cob Company.
| In spite of the excellence of Gladys as
a tandem leader, she is not SO strong
as a high stopper, and SO she was beaten
/ by the Belmont pair; But they were
stockier and steadier, just as Rocking
| ham beat her in the same class yester-
| day. Her daintiness, which is so much
| in her favor. with the general public,
| told against her under the critical exam
| ination of the judges; for conformation,
soundness and style all told in the
award.

Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Sorchan, formerly
| Miss Hunnewell of Boston, Miss Lynch
| of Boston, who was guest of Mrs.
| George Gould; Mr.. and Mrs. Elisha Dyer
of Providence. Mr.. and Mrs. Prescott
