The attendance at the equestrian festi-
val at Sunset City yesterday was con-
spicuOuS by its limitation. Two-bit pieces
rolled in very slowly and far between al
the ticket Office of the fenced-in recreation
grounds, while the turn stiles at the
grand stand clicked only at long intervals.
That the Equestrian Fiesta is so far a
financial iascO is quite evident, and unless
the management reduces the exorbitant
. tax OF 81 which is levied upon those de-
sirOus of Witnessing the maueuvers of
cavalrymen and cowboys they will be
compelled to seither discontinue or show
before empty benches.
AS matter of fact the remarkable feats
of horsemanship and skilful cavalry men,
such as an exhibition by the participants,
are not of common occurrence and must be
seen to be appreciated.
One.of the most interesting features of
the afternoon programme was the hurdle
race for gen Il emen riders, over four hur-
dies, in which the participants were Baron
de Lange, Count de Beauviere and X. G.
Fathergnl. st the finish Of the first time
around the course FatheTgilPs horse re-
fused the hurdle and sweTved over against
the railing, stumbling over it as matter
of course and throwing the rider to the
a
nose, but nothing more than a bruise and
a nose bleed resulted. The other two
riders continued and had very exciting
finish indeed. Their horses came in neck
in neck and the race was decided dead
heat.
The cowboys entertained the audience
for fully half an hour during the after
noon. They introduced an innovation in
the form OF a hurdle race. aud they went
over the lmpedlments quite as we'll as the
gentlemen Elders who had been trained TO
II. In other respects the cowboys, OF
course, exceeded eVerybo
The Russian rough riders also created a
sensation. The big bearded .Circassian
prince, standing up on his saddle and
foHrishing his saber while riding at tor
speed. aroused enthusiasm on the grand
e.. stand.
The French battalion of cavalry iumped
hurdles in line, and did 80 repeatedly again
and again without the stumbling of a
horse and with scarcely break in the line.
The English and German platOOns also
went through their maneuvers with addi-
tional features from those given on the
e. first days performance, the ladies' quad
Tille was as pretty as ever and no accidents
occurred.
The lassoing and tying of steers as an
bounced on the programme failed to take
place by reason Of the interference Of Sec
Tetary. HolbrOok of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, who
was on hand with detail Of DOlice.
Last evenings exhibition was merely
revival of the days sports, which were set
off TO greater advantage by means of the
lighting arrangements placed 10 operation.
The programme for to-day's equestrian
evolutions will be selected from the feat
ures which have proven most popular on
the first two days of the festival.
Aside from the general features of the
exposition, which call out such liberal pat
ronsge on Saturdays, to-day has what the
theatrical people would call a triple bill
on the programme. To-day there will be
ADDED the uDTOafiOus fun OF the CONNER
cial travellers and the interesting demon
stration which is to take place on the eX-
position grounds under the auspices of the
Young Mems Insttutes
Inc Commercial travellers are to come
upon the grounds rather early in the day
Their procession forms at A. NJ on Mar
ket street, between First and Second. and
will move TO Golden Gate avenue and the
panhandle to the exposition grounds r
II. DAVIS will be grand marshal for the
occasion. Preceded only by battalion
Of mounted police, this functionary will
head the procession accompanied by his
aids, and close in their wake will be the
band. Next in line will be the carriages
containing invited guests. Among those
invited are Governor Markham, Mayor
Ebert, members of the Board of Super
visoEs, Of the Chamber of Commerce. of
the Board of Trade, of the Produce Ex-
change and other representative bodies.
The commercial travellers baggage
hunt" will probably cause more fun than
anything that has taken place during the
entire exposition. Each drummer will
wear on his sleeve baggage e-check. and
corresponding number will be handed
early in the cay 10 some girl in conces-
sion, in a booth. or among the little army
of gum-girls and f1oweT-grls. The drum
meTs" are supposed to keep uD contnu-
Gus search until they find the girl who has
a corresponding ber, and whether he
fun ends there or not will remain 10 be
seen.
The Young Mems Institute have ar
ranged for very elaborate procession.
There will be no less than ten bands In
the line. Colonel j. c. O'COnnor is to be
the grand marshal, with Colonel ID. Geary
as chief Of staff. The procession will form
at Bryant and Third streets, and will move
