of entries in the various classes, and which
prove that the conditions OF the classes are
inadequate to cover the various kinds of
horses that would be shown. The object
of Judges in making their decisions is to
follow type of horse, and much injustice
has been done to good horses because they
were not of type selected for prize
winners. whereas if class had been ad-
justed to meet their qualifications they
would have got ribbons"

in his paddock coat, came along and

the situation a moment and turning to
Henry Crockcr said did it ever occur to
you, Henry, that the only horse worth any
great amount of attention is the one that
belongs to you. Half the men who have
horses on exhibition are content to look at
their own animals, and nine times out of
ten conclude that he is the best beast on
earth. There is no use talking over the
matter at length, and there is one thing
certain, and it is that when a fanciel
brings a horse here it is Nj thour a peer.
Horse shows educate the people, but 1t
never changes an owners opinion. If he
is interested enough to make an exhibit he
is true to his animal first, last and all the
time. Do you suppose it would be possible
to convince Hobart or Grant, or Pope or
even yourself that stopper ever lived
who makes better appearance than the
horses you own yourself? NeverW

though they knew they we're on parade.
After they had gone The rounds for
few moments the judges called them to
halt, and the intelligent creatures arched
their proud necks and paved the bark
with their heavy hoofs. Again the gates
were opened and the cumbersome engines
rum bled away. while the cheers went up
as a farewell. 1t was one of the best ex-
bibitions given at the show, and was not
only exciting but instructive to those who
have never seen an American flre depart
ment in action.
Everybody livened up after that feature
anu the promenade filled with ladies and
gentlemen passing to and fro from the
stalls to the main course. Horse talk be-
came the order of the hour and little else
was mentioned.
Leading horsemen of all kinds were
there. and the ladies fell into the use OF
eouine parlance as naturally as though
they had been raised on the track.
President Crocker was willing TO answer
all sorts of questions, and as matter Of
fact he is pretty well informed. He had
nlepty of assistance from his lieutenants.
and those who have not picked up some
horse chat in the last few days are slow to
understand The very best authorities in
America were present and anxious to
spread the contagion OF horse apprecia-
tion.

year. They were exhibited for number
of years in New York, but so few were
offered for exhibition that those classes
were abolished.

and with more action than the horses
shown here yesterday. Most Of them had
a daisy-cutting way of moving their feet.
Notwithstanding any criticisms that
might be made regarding the details, the
show as whole is most creditable sue
cess. This is especially true for the reason
that the people here are unused to any
thing of the sort, and it takes long time
before managers, and exhibitors - who
must act in cooperation with the man
agers-get to know just what is the proper
thing to do. The New York show is not
perfect by any means. In fact, 1t is full Of
imperfections which, however, will un-
doubtedly be corrected by next year, be-
cause they have become so apparent this
year as to demand attention. They are

around the ears of his steeds, which urged
them down the course as tho ugh the whole
town was on fire. In few seconds the
hosewagon, with three animals champing
their bits and leaping in the air, shot out
of the left gate right for the center of the
ring. They made a graceful turn and
slow ed down at the other end.
Suddenly there came snort from the
right gate again, and the Oakland engine,
like streak of colored light, came through
the opening. The horses reared themselves
up, crouched upon their launches and
flew into space. Their hoofs struck the
floor in another instant, and, with shout
from the driver, they plunged down the
track with laundering tread. The gates
closed and the four equipages few over
the tan bark with a whirl and a
roar that was inspiring to the audi
ence. Close to the ground the mas
sive brutes ran, and plowed up the
like mighty mud-colored waves before an
ocean greyhound. Presently from the
spellbound spectators low rumble arose,
and finally swelled to a roar of applause
that passed over the concourse like an echo
of thunder crashing along from end to end
of the vast pavilion. Ladies clapped their
hands and tossed their handkerchiefs to
adjoining boxes. The calm drivers bent
over their trained and tried animals and
sent them galloping along with word and
lash. How they leaped and plunged, as

brought before them, four-in-hand OF
drafthorses belonging to the Kern County
Land Company.
Glass 10, composed of four pretty two
year-old fillies in the trotting class, was
brought in, and of them William Corbett's
Numa took the blue ribbon, John F.
Boyd's Haunani the red, Agnew stock
farms Aloha R the white and the Palo
Alto Pasonite the yellow.
Walter Hobart took another blue ribbon
on the next class examined, II, with a
pair of roadsters. The second prize went
to James G. Chisly with Lady Indigo and
Loupe, the third to Frank FL. Burke with
Soubrette and Algonita and the yellow
ribbon to the Agnew stock farm with
Flora G and Stratford Dawn. Hobart
always comes in the arena with his own
exhibits. Editor Taylor of the Rider and
Driver remarked: II must commend Ho-
bart for showing his own horses both rid
ing and driving. / am strongly in favor
of keeping horse shows on an amateur
basis and believe that both ladies and
gentlemen should ride and drive their own
horses whenever they can"
A dozen thoroughbred trotting stations
of class l were led around next and then
came the judging of class II of eight
driving trotters. William Murray's great
Diablo with a record OF 2:09H took the
blue ribbon, A. B. Spreckels' Prince Dex-
ter the red, and William Corbitt's Hazel
Wilkes the white.
Yearling fillies and colts of class II were
next judged, the first prize going to Ellert
of the Palo Alto stock farm, the second to
William Corbitt's Refero, while George Fl.
Roe's Valtrim was highly commended.
In class 8, for two -year-old trotting stall
lions, William Corbitt's Ell Cerrito took
first prize. Local Of the Palo Alto stock

In the afternoon the crowd was much
larger than it was yesterday. and nearly
every box was filled with ladies. The
events were unusually exciting, particu-
larly the contest between Walter Ho-
bart's and other crack teams in class "a,
and the judging of the saddle-horses, when
Hobart's Huntress and May Day came
against Mrs. Ayres' Woodlawr.

regularly, and of course takes lively in
terest in everything. He is TO publish on
the 21st a special San Francisco horse
show edition of his paper, He probably
knows a. much about horse shows as any
one. "The show is altogether very credit
able" he said yesterday. 1.-The thorough
breds shown are very interesting class,
and a class that ought to be encouraged
by horse shows to educate the better
classes of the public that attend horse
shows to what a beautiful animal thor
oughbred is. The attendance at running
races may by this means be elevated in
tone. Racing IN this country has deteri-
grated very much. 1t has got into pro-
fessional hands, and society has not
smiled on it much. Then the thorough
bred, instead of being used in breeding
racehorses only, should be applied to
breeding of our pleasure horses more than
it has been. Of course the horses might
not bring such large prices, but the general
average would be good and the quality of
saddle and harness horses materially i'm
proved.
''The drafthorses form very interesting
phase of the show, in that they are
foreign to the tastes and pursuits OF the
people who usually attend horse shows.
No heavy classes are shown in the New
York shows, much to my regret. At the
Toronto horse show last year there was
superb exhibit of this class, and / was
asked to try to induce the managers of

sive. Why, in Nevada have got several
hundred horses that can cover ground so
fast that if these horses got in a race with
them they would think .hey were tied to
tree. Yes, sure; you never saw such fast
horses as we have up there. Many times
they go so fast that they burn their feet,
and then of course we sell them to the
race track associations or to doctors, for
driving purposes. 1t does not incapacitate
them altogether, but they become prac-
tically worthless for farm use. Twas under
the impression that 1 saw some of them
here yesterday. Good enough for city peo-
pie or for men who merely want a stable,
but aside from that, phugh.''
This burst Of information seemed to
satisfy Mr.. Hardin, who is one of Nevada's
greatest stock-growers, and he turned on
his heel toward the saddling paddock to
see if he could run across any Old Nevada
stock. About half an hour afterward he
was the central figure in one of the boxes
and his conversation was an incessant
round of compliments directed at the
horsemen OF San Francisco, in praise of
their success in getting some of the best
horseflesh that mad ever walked ON tan
bark track. This time he was talking, to
ladies. There's a DR.. Jeykell and Mr..
Hyde authority on equines," remarked
one of the gentlemen who heard his first
opinion touching on Nevada stock.
General Barnes was about the most in
terested witness to the show. He leaned
on the railing running around the track.
and drank in the situation in a perfectly
contented way. When the coaches wheeled
into the enclosure mis- eyes followed them
from end to end. Every once in while
he changed his position from place to
place, but worked the rail for all it was
worth. Once he ventured to remark that
he was reminded of the old story in the
Greek reader concerning the king who
bought all the horses he could find any
thing redeeming in, but never sold any.
Finally said the general, hanging lit
tie heavier on the railing, 1.-The king went
broke and found that he had more horses
on his hands than he could feed. The hay
and oats gave out, and the horses turned
in and ate him up. He was the last thing
availa BILE for a meal. and the poor brutes
finished the tale by dying of starvation.

moments and appeared to be overcome.
simultaneously with Mr.. Casserly's
burst of reservation the spectators sent up
good round of applause for Mr.. Pope.
The noise was so well distributed Ser
geant Conboy, accompanied by his three
stripes, didn't know where the racket was
thickest. AT first he was moved to whack
the first head, but found that it was Just
simply mark OF approval instead of a
free-for-all Donny brook. A broad smile
spread over his Celtic face and, turning to
subordinate officer, he remarked 1.-THE
next time they break out like that send
for the Insane Commission. That kind of
noise only comes from crazy people.
Move on there, Jimmy Swinnerton, and
don't be paradin' that loud vest before
nightfall. / see you have plug hat on
your wicked Uranium. Move on there.
Don't you see me three stripes? Are you
waitin' round here to josh ME in the
mornin'? I'm onto YOU"
Swinnerton toyed with his gloves and
permitted his mouth to run into his ears.
Never mind, Conboy, I'll make picture
of you some day in the act of moving, and
you can file it with the Police Commits
sioners. It will help you out very much,
and they will recognize you as capable
affair. "That'll be all right, sergeant" F"
answered the caricaturist.
Just then Arthur McEwen looked up
from his box to see what was in the wind,
but the presence of peace quelled his spirit
and he resumed his discussion of Egypt S
relation with the Comstock Lode" with
Fred Marriott.
Even Juror Smyth was disturbed and
forgot to ask for icewater. He was intent
on watching the steppers and seemed to
be much interested.
Finally the picture changed and way
was made for Walter Turnbull, who
strolled up the line with his loud-checked
English coat.
"Now, this is what call style. Look at
the people here. Very best we have. Oh,
but say, it does keep man in training to
watch the changes in style. suppose the
best way to get along is to be comfortable.
You can't suit everybody unless you wear
every body's suit. How's that?" Mr..
Turnbull's eye then fell upon the sign
which read Smoking positively pro-

hibited." "Well, that may be all right so
far as it goes, but hope it does not ex-
tend to the bar. Where is it? Do we
have to drink Horsetetter's bitters here to
be proper. Come on, Bushnell; you've
got better eye for dogs than for horses.
Join u.s.
Mr.. Turnbull had no trouble finding a
guide to the refreshment quarter of the
show, nor did he have to look long to see
that great many of our leading citizens
were taking his advice and making them
selves comfortable.
AS the show progresses the chill is wear
ing off and society is Strengthening out it's

IA " What struggle 1t caused at the
horse show last night.
W. Every body tried to be proper,
but few succeeded. The agony
was pathetic. The men appeared in dress
suits and plug hats; but the gloves-per-
haps a half dozen pair in the audience.
That was all.
On the opening night Judges Bloodgood,
Carman and Underwood entered the ring
with suede gloves and silk hats, while Dick
Tobin, who had just returned from the
New York atmosphere. came upon the
scene with a Gibus crush opera hat.
And such from Mr.. Tobin. Last night
however, Richard was himself again and
went down the line just the thing and at
just the right time.
So much for Burlingame.
And there were others, but Dick wore
the smile that goes with discovery. As TO
Jack Casserly, it is doubtful whether he
will ever be able to square himself with
his New York friends. He actually ap-
peared IN q Tuxedo coat and a billycock
hat.
Other gentlemen wore evening gloves
with the black stripe, and there was also
an assortment of all shades and colors. A
few who, by the way, are a little particu-
lar, got their hands inside of the pale sea-
green, undressed variety, embellished
with white silk stripes. They made a
noble hight in defense OF their mits, but

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inf condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
lnfamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous sur

CAPTAIN HOBBS IN LINE,
But Not With the Republican Financial
Policy of the Administration.


AS to whether Captain r. Hobbs, the
chairman of the executive committee OF
this congressional district, has changed
his views on the financial question or
not, the card, published below, which
appeared in The Herald of Thursday
over his own name will testify. This
card is an answer to special from Balm
bridge. published in both the Atlanta
journal and The Savannah News, in
which some expression Of Captain Hobbs
was so twisted and contorted as to make
it appear that he was no longer the ardent
friend of silver that he haG been. Captain
Hobbs's card is as follows:
81 notice that the Cleveland organs
are trying to make capital ont of a few
words which l gave utterance to at
cambridge last Monday and claim that
| am in line with the cuckOOs. My
words meant that | wanted democratic
congress elected that would place gold
and silver on firm basis of equal value
as money, good for the commercial US
ages of the world; that | wanted a con-
gress who, when they wanted to be
elected, would be democrats, true to the
party platform, and when in Office would
not be mere machines-cuckOOs, if the
word can be used to denote men who
have gone back on their party pledges.
Il found many, indeed the great ma
jority, of those who spoke about the
matter at all to be the bitter opponents
of theSpresent. administration. Others
were like my friend, Colonel Halves,
who's he is a bimetallist and yet a
CIevelandite. If the Journal and its
cucko1s can get aid and comfort from
what | said they are easily comforted
and will in a short time see that this
country cannot prosper under single
gold standard. K. HOBBS.

Up to yesterday morning Dawson ware
housemen had handled ,250 bales of cot,

been received in any inland city in the
state.
For the past several days the staple
has poured into the city in an almost
steady stream; from every country road
the loaded wagons come, and each OF the
warehouses present a scene of unusual
activity with cotton bales piled high
about them and employees busily engaged
handling it.
The prices that Dawson is paying
bring cotton here The city is full of
BUYERS, the demand has been active since
the season opened, and the very highest
prices have ruled. Buyers tell THE News
t1at Savannah prices are being paid here,
and the farmers are taking advantage of
them by bringing their cotton to the
Dawson market.
AS fast as the bales are sampled they
are sold and the money spent in making
purchases or liqmdating debts. In all
cases the sales have been highly satisfac-
tory, and estimating the value of each,of

proved a pleasurable surprise to the far
mers, and the surplus received from the
safe of their cotton will 90 toward the
