The last tack was driven into the last
piece of bunting by the decorators and the
completed interior was turned over to the
management Of the association early yes

Farther down. on the southern side of
the Pavilion, the Hungarian and Shetland
ponies were much IN evidence and took
kindly to the petting of the visitors. They
are little beauties. every one of them, and
are sure to make sensation when they
appear in the ring.
Ate o'clock in the evening most of the
entries had arrived and been placed in
their stalls, and the few others will stray
gle in before the show opens this morning
And when the crowd gets into the Pa
vlion this morning there will not be one
who can find room for criticism in the sur
rOundUgs. Everything is as perfect as it
possibly could be, there still being left
that aiTiness and rOOmlnesS so essentially
the charm to affairs of this kind. There is
plenty of color, but not a harsh contrast;
there are foods of light, butno gariShness.
Throughout the vast interior there is
feeling of comforting warmth that cannot
fail to strike the average spectator.
No more successful plan could have been
devised for the seating of the SPECTATORS
than the one used by the association.
From every box there is full sweep of
every other and every seat in the house,
and an unObstructed view of the arena.
Aside from the boxes, the seats themselves
are arranged so that everything that takes
place in the ring can be seen from any one
of them. Tasteful little borders of wine-
colored bunting are strung along the tops
of each box and festooned on the sides,
greatly frightening the general beautiful
effect.
But the gem Of all is the music-stand,
where Cassasa's band will sit ensconce0
each afternoon and evening. exquisitely
rendering melody after melody to the big
audiences. 1t is q little square pavilion,
depending high in the air from iron rods
in the roof directly over the center of the
arena. Around its sides are artistcally
placed palms and ferns and green bamboo,
until it has the appearance of a great
bourgeoning fiOweT-pot, from which seems
To bud only great white electric-liRht
globes in long lines over the ring. The
musicians should do their best there.
Last evening the electric lights were
turned on the scene for the first time and
the effect was most oewllderlngly beau
tiful even with the boxes and the rows
of seats and the arena empty as they
were. With beauty and fashion IN the
boxes and in the seats, with the kings
