But the callboys. paddock grooms and ring at
snians in general must be mentioned. There are
sixteen of the first four Of the second and twenty
four Of the last. They will be arrayed in yellow
and black jockey-caps, wastcoats striped Ike the
CAPS white trousers and shoes which will permit of
speedy iocomotion. The caboys will run in answer
70 calls. the paddock grooms will lend their aid
when necessary and the ringmen will keep the tam
bark clean and we'll raked. They are divided into
watches OF four hours each. The managers OF the
horse show are anxious TO have the tro,ter AK
make an appearance in the ring. AliX has record
Of ?Sss for a mile. and. while not entered To- the
show would make an admirable foil for Nightin-
gale who is entered. and holds record of 2l0A
!or the distance. and another record OF 6:ooi2
FOX three miles 1t said yesterday that AK
has covered the same distance in six minutes. but
this could not be verified. Anyhow, the joint ap-
pearance Of the two would give horsemen an eX-
celent chance 10 compare the two queens or the
troiing turf.
A number Of trotters and hackneys were eXer-
cised In the ring yesterday and their performances
were carefully watched. Among the former were
Chimes with a record OF 2:30a.. property of C. j. and
Harry Hamln; Stamboul. 2O7ia f. H. Hartman

Manor G. J. and Harry Hamn. and Ticket OF

Rufus jr Douton Ware. Lady Walton III, Sir
Gbbie and Gypsy Queen.
But the rehearsals OF the grooms and other ring
attendants rather interfered with the exercising OF
the future wearers of the coveted ribbons, so the
sleek representatives of mans best friend were led
below and the attendants showed what they could
DO Judged from their performance yesterday they
have been well drilled. Hurdles were set UP. mag
mary raw places in the tan bark were healed.
