And the two fire teams which showed
the evening before were driven on again,
the reception accorded them being fully
as good as on their first appearance
Driver Mccarthy of steamer 23cu out the
pace and guided his three brown steeds
around in wO nderful circles, which Driver
Hayden made no effort to initiate. The
changing of the bells and the natural fond
ness all people have for fremen and their
apparatus was the only stimulus the audi
ence needed to rouse itself and it did it
with a will.
When the fire teams had made their
exit Higgins spirited stallion Sir
Modred was brought on for a walk around,
but displayed more of a desire TO dance.
He kicked his heels skittishly in the air,
and made several efforts to break away
from the groom, but finally cooled his
ardOr sufficiently with the exercise to be
led calmly off.
The seven road stations that were
shown in the afternoon were brought out
and judged at s O'Clock. On the catalogue
the class was marked u A.

critical examination. 1t was a case of
every point counting, so closely matched
were some of the best horses. Judges

Owing to some misunderstanding in max

TO be divided into trOtter and PAGER classes.
There we're two prizes, $50 and S25, but in

prizes.
Although il was not down on the pro-
Ura
champion WAS driven by James Dustin,
who showed off the beautiful horses ac-
ton on the short stretches. Then the
house applauded with true enthusiasm I'M
der the excitement of the moment, which
caught every one with an appreciation for
horsefesh. The exhibition o f pacing proved
fascinating and 1t we'll deserved the recep-
ton given il.
A parade of all pony classes entered in
the show was given. A. w. Fosters

garian ponies, all mouse color, with light
gray names and tails, followed his pretty
four-ln-hand of the same imported stock.
Miss Fanny Miner drove a piebald pony
that was a leading feature of the parade.
Besides there were pretty little Shetlands
In harness and in hand. and SDreckels'

minutes and furnished merriment FOR the
young folk. Then came the Judging of

Judgment on this class had been post

Glenn; Billy W. brown gelding, exhlb-
lied and ridden by Miss L. E. Ward OF
Stockton.
The Judges were completely overcome
when called upon to pass judgment upon
the ladies' horses. Tom Williams partici-
pated in the dilemma, with hat in hand
and most abject apologies for not giving
every lady a blue ribbon. The ladies
were we'll nigh weary Of repeated displays,
pacing, galloping, walking and standing
IN line again TO be judged on other points.
1t was only after minutest comparison of
parts that the judges arrived at decision,
which gave Alm0nt first and Woodlawn
