| Most of the boxes were filled by their
owners during the afternoon, and there
was a good crowd in attendance at 2
| o'clock when Noah Brandt's band struck
up march from ''Tannhauser'' and the
bugler announced the opening of the regu-
lar programme.
The first thing was a parade of all
draft horses. These great elephantine
| beasts made an impressive show. First
came Pointsman Jr., 2300 pounds, George
McNear's Clydesdale from Napa. the big
gest horse in the show. Then there was
Ironclad, Norman yearling, that weighs
| 144o pounds, which they say gives prom.
Use that be may become. when full grown,
the biggest horse in the world.
There were only twenty-five of these
animals, Normans, Percherons, Clydes-
dales and English Shires, but they filled
| up the arena and looked as if they weighed
as much as all the other horses in the
show put together. Two of the Perche-
rons from A. w. Fosters ranch. Eugenie
and Mariette. were led by Thomas Long
more, who raised them and is very proud
/ of his pets
The trotting stations came next, and
included Mckinney, Guy Wilkes, Silver
Ban. Diablo, Doodle and Tombro, all with
great records. Horsemen are wondering
what the judges are going to do when they
come to decide between Mckinney and
Diablo. These two horses were at the last
| State fair and the Judges divided the first
prize between them.
The next event in the program me was
parade of the hackney. pony and coaching
stations. One was led around by groom
in high hat with cockade.
''That is like man coming out in full
dress at morning function" said Samuel
w. Taylor Jr. of the Rider and Driver, who
knows all about horse shows. "a servant
in the ring should have on stable costume,
and then no coachman should wear
cockade unless his owner is IN the army or
navy or diplomatic corps"
! The judges of saddle-horses, H. X. Blood
good and R. f. Carman, took their places
| in the center of the arena with Ringmaster
Graham and his bugler, for the next event
on the programme was Judging of class So,
which included saddle mares or geldings
! over Ia hands inch and under Is hands,
| four years old or over. There were fine
entries, three by Walter Hobart, two by
John Parrot and one by his brother-in-
aw, G. de Guigne.
The horses were put through their PAGES,
| WALK, trot and canter. and looked over
carefully for some time by the judges. 1t
was not exciting. but intensely interested
were the society people present, who
wanted to know whether the first blue
ribbon of the show would go to Prince
Fortuuatus or to the house of Parrott.
Finally the judges called for the ribbons,
and the blue soon decked John Parrott's
graceful chestnut mare Stella, the first
prize winner of the show. G. de Guigne's
cream mare Bessie got the red ribbon, and
Hobart had to be content with the white
ribbon for Stamboulite.
Promptly at P. NJ. the four-in-h hand ex-
hibition began, and four coaches rolled
out into the arena. First came Walter
Hobart with his new team of well-equipped
animals. He was followed by his driver,
who handled Mr.. Hobart's old team, the
one he loves so we'll. Next came Herr
mann the Great with his four-in- hand,
which he carries around the country in his
special car.
The last to enter was Joe Grant, and tho
picture of four well-equipped coaches
dashing around the inclosure for the in
spection and approval of the audience was
very pleasing to the eye. While the
| judges had no particular part to play in
that exhibition, society decided that Mr..
Hobart's new team was by far the best
adorned and the best handled. Mr.. Grant
drove exceedingly we'll, as did also Herr
mann, but it was apparent from the fum-
BILE Hermann made that he is not an artist
