Most Successful Exhibition
Yet Held.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15 1s94-The first
half Of the carnival of fine horses and
beautiful women has eclipsed all former
records at Madison Square Garden, and
the latter half OF the show promises
largely attended.
The box Office receipts for the first
three days are $l,2o0 in excess of those
for the same days last year.
The secretary announced this morning
that the cash receipts showed the at
tendance during the first half of the
show to have been:-Monday. s9,245:
Tuesday. so, 75l; Wednesday. S12,s6S. These
figures do not include the army OF at
tendants the exhibitors, officials and 9TH
ers who admitted on passes.
There are easily thousand of those
daily. The attendance from now until
Saturday night will depend only upon
the eanacity of the Garden.
EXHIBITION OF TROTTERS.
The special exhibition of tfotters and
PAGERS Saturday afternoon, when Alix,
Robert j., and other kings and queens
of the turf are to be shown, is expected
to draw a big crowd. Society in the
boxes attracts fully as much attention
as the animals in the ring at night, but
in the daytime the horse is king. The
performances in the ring under the eyes
of the judges and the closer view of
the horses below stairs in the paddock
afforded the entertainment. Society
swells and people of distinction who
happened to be present were ignored.
Horsey men and ladies win tailor-made
gowns. faced with leather are as plenti-
full as grooms and stablemen about the
stalls. Ladies who have horses entered
give personal attention to the toilets
of their pets A lady whose hunter re-
fused to take the jump last night was
down in his stall this morning telling
the animal that he had brought disgrace
upon the family.
JUDGING THE PONIES.
The younger generation of the Four
Hundreds were ON hand in considerable
numbers when the ponies were judged
this forenoon. The Hackneys attracted
the knowing ones. The remarkable knee
action and stair-climbing gait of the
winners aroused considerable enthusi-
asm. A remarkable thing about the show
is the prime condition of the animals.
Not half dozen out of nearly a thoS-
sand animals have needed the attention
of veterinarians and no serious Illness
has been reported. The sanitary ar
rangements are so perfect that scarcely
an odor of the stable can be detected in
the amphitheatre.
