Gowns for the Horse show. IFrom Harner,s Bazar

Many people of fashion returned to town last weekto attend the Portrait exhibition. and hosts of others. have since followed them to be present at the horse show next week. The modistes are busy with new gowns for this favorite entertainment of the au- tumn. In the morning strictly tailor made gowns will be worn, and others more elaborate, with strapped decora- ton and velvet trimming. Rough stuffs, mohair boucle fabrics, and tweeds are also being prepared by tail- ors. For the afternoon and evening show and the late supper afterward at Delmonicos, calling costumes are chosen. many of them imported espec- ially for this gay week, and others copied from models brought from Pa quin, Doucet, Worth and others very recently.
 Among the various gowns seen in the rooms of Mrs M. A. Connolly those of bluet or violet moire are most unique. A bluet moire of small wa tered pattern, with quarter-inch stripes of black satin, is trimmed with chinchilla of the exquisite downy quail ity found in Africa. Tine skirt, nearly six yards wide, is gored, lined with silk, underlined stifly. and bordered with chinchilla only an inch wide on the pelt. It has black velvet belt of bias fold, and two points going down amid the godets. The waist, lapped to fasten on the left invisibly, goes up to meet bias stock-collar of the moire, very wide, and edged at the top with chinchilla. A yoke-like space of the moire is left plain, and below it is jetted black net falling like a French blouse, and striped with black velvet. Large sleeves of the moire extend in double folds that form g. point filled in with black velvet. and the wrists are banded with chinchillss
 A Paquin gown of bluet noire Is in very large nacre pattern. The plain back is round. and the front Is in bole- TO shape, with revers of white satin embroidered in Japanese colors and de- signs. A full vest of white chiffon tucked and crossed with narrow yell low valenciennes edging is inside. the jacket front. The back has Ai wide col- lar of the chiffon doubled and edged with the narrow butter-colored edging like that on the vest.
