sounded out it's call to the horsemen at
intervals, and almost Immediately the
gates flew open to admit all kinds and
classes of stately and magnificent animals,
whose owners had entered them to win.
Throughout it all there was pronounced,
but good-natured rivalry, which resulted
in the horsemen putting up the best
animals they had to contest for the prizes.
Each new arrival on the tan-bark ring
resulted in burst of applause from all
parts of the pavilion and the gentlemen
coach and tandem drivers were showered
with praise by their friends and admirers
when graceful turn or a neat piece of
driving was introduced. Handkerchiefs
and fans futtered in the air for a moment
to attract some prize-taker and then the
gloved hand that raised it swept by as the
equipage passed on.
There was something more than mere
cash prizes to win. There was something
more than approval of the judges to some
of the horsemen, and the look of content
ment that came in some other persons
eyes told the tale.
Every contestant was urged on to do his
very best by thousand friends and for
was a game played in earnest, but with
good feeling. Everything tended to en-
liven the participants and the successful
ones were heaped with congratulations.
The clanking of chain harness and the
steady ruff, ruff, of the horses hoofs, was
the only music that seemed in harmony.
1t was nothing but horse, horse, horse,
and the very best horse at that.
Henry ]. Crocker found himself con-
stantIy in the midst of congratulations
from all those who were fortunate enough
to run across him during the evening,
and the night closed over the best begin
ming any horse show ever had in this City.
1t was certainly most commendable
performance, and, as the week progresses,
will improve. Society has placed its
stamp OF approval on the whole affair.

up to the highest standard of horse-raising

The front doors were thrown wide open
and hundreds of carriages drove up to
discharge their consignment of beauty and
youth. A steady stream of men and
women filed into the promenade, and a
happy, buoyant string of visiting couples
and small parties went down the line to
congratulate friends on their appearance
and to exchange opinions on the event.
Gentlemen in faultless evening dress
mingled with the box occupants and San
Franciscos social element found itself sur
rounded by friends. 1t was a veritable
conclave of the upper ten and the buzz of
voices and expressions of surprise and sat-
isfaction at the magnificent opening indi-
Gated that they approved of 1t all.
When the gates were thrown open at the
ends of the ring and the proud and mag
nifcent horses danced and strutted into
the inclosure the women craned their
necks and the men gathered nearer the
rail. There was nothing else talked of and
horse prattle took the place of all other
topics. For once society forgot that it had
other irons in the fire and everybody dis
cussed the horse show. Afternoon teas,
season dances, party calls and other social
affairs were buried in the chaos of opinions
regarding the ever beloved and worthy
equine.
Society simply changed its god and the
horse crowded out the individual. Entire
families were there, from the college
clothed youngsters to the stald and de-
mure parents, and they one and all
mingled in the conversation that tended
to enlighten them in matters pertaining
to horsefesh, and slight infections of
an Anglomaniac character were put upon
the words. Those who had been to the
New York and Philadelphia horse shows
made comparisons and told willing listen.
ers that San Francisco should be proud of
her display.
The time was ripe for vast amount of
home patronage in conversational way.
and the native born were loud in their ex-
pressions of assurance that the East would
finally come to us for pointers. The pre-
viously initiated jestingly pointed out
slight breaches of technique in the dress
| OF grooms or drivers, and the travelled man
J told how it should be done according to
| foreign methods.
The great majority, however, were de.
lighted at the spectacle, and the matter
was finally reduced to the belief that the
whole affair was remarkable for the fact
that it was but the second of the kind ever
given west OF Chicago.
While there were great many opinions
put forth by both San Franciscans and
strangers, or visitors, the gentlemen who
had come all the way from the proper
horse.cultured East nodded their heads
approvingly and said, ''Well DONE"

MORNING PROGRAMME.
How the First Events Came Off
Before the BeVy of
judges,

S0dSGSs
President Crocker and his ubiquitous
assistants Horr, Tuttle and Bennett, were
on hand IN the early morning and saw
that everything was in good order and so
well arranged that their burdens would be
light.
General Barnes was the first visitor, not
an exhibitor, who paid his way in. He
arrived before o'clock, even before 10
Grant and Hobart appeared, and took a
stroll through the stalls and watched the
horses exercising in the ring for an hour
or two.
By o'clock everything was in readi-
ness for the opening, and at that hour
Ringmaster Graham in high hat, top boots
and breeches took charge of the arena
with half dozen ring men in gray suits
and caps.
There were few visitors except the ex-
hibitors, but the place was soon lively
enough with attendants, catalogue boys
and stablemen. AT 8 o'clock Captain
Thompson entered the arena with his
crack squad of mounted park police, who
began practice with their lariats. While
they were on the tanbark a number of
saddle-horses were ridden in by their Eng
lish grooms and the easy, graceful Western
riding of the men of the park, each OF
whom seemed part of his horse, was in
marked contrast to the stiff seats that are
considered good form at horse shows in
New York. But, then, probably some day
they will take up 'good FORM and ride
stiffiy enough to satisfy the most fas-
tidious.
The park police were followed by Troop
A of the National Guard, dozen men
under Captain Sine, for practice.
10 Grant and Walter Hobart and Herr
mann tried their four-in- hands, and later
Hobart drove in the first tandem.
Chief Sullivan came in early to install a
chemical engine in the building, where it
will remain ready for duty during the
show. The Fire Department has entered
engines and IL for competition against
the one that is to come over from Oakland
The Oakland people are going to make an

In honor of the opening President
Crocker and the directors gave an elaborate
luncheon at 1880 in the cafe upstairs,
where covers had been laid for 125. Mr..
Crocker presided, Aanked by tie judges
and directors. An excellent lunch was
served by 81 Green. 1t was altogether an
informal affair, without any speeches or
toasts, and went off very smoothly until

plause The Shetland ponies attracted
some considerable attention, but at 5
o'clock the attendants and owners were
chilled with the dampness that arose from
the saturated tanbark, and society's small
delegation went to their homes with but
half-approving expressions.
Those who knew what to expect said it
would be all right in the evening and that
society would be present. The direc-
tors went right on preparing things for
big attendance and the grooms lost no
time putting a shine on the coats of the
horses. They seemed to scent something
stupendous-and it came.
After society had dined and the lights
began to appear in the Pavilion the whole
scene changed. The gay colors of bunting
stood out boldly from the pillars and the
air seemed to grow warmer. Promptly at
7P. NJ, at which hour the evenings pro-
gramme was arranged to begin, Ringmaster
Richard Graham entered the ring and the
orchestra tuned up its instruments.
The attendants from the different stables
hurried around the stalls and norse-own-
ers began to appear dressed in the proper
style. Several carriages drove up to the
entrance and ladies in fall furs and rich
dresses stepped lightly up the stairway.
Inside, the ushers were standing statue
like in the aisles, but by 1880 they became
aware there was something to do.
A great many arrivals, instead Of going
Immediately to their boxes and seats, went
round among the horses and spent half an
hour admiring the pets of the hour.
Ladies petted the massive Norman horses
and old gentlemen commented on the fine
points of the thoroughbreds. The buds
gathered around the stables OF their
gentlemen friends, while the ever present
chaperon stood conveniently by to see
that nobody was kicked by impolite
horses.
Suddenly from the center OF the i'm
mense building bugle call rang out and
died away in the tri-colored rafters. A
burst of music came from the direction of
the orchestra The effect was magical,
and the people who had already collected
around the stalls began to pour into the
promenade walk. Slowly the spacious
hall filled itself with thousand colors
and by 80 o'clock sea of faces stretched
around the ring.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-12-04

BY noon few people came in, and the
immense hall arranged with chairs and
private boxes became sparsely populated
with little hutter OF gay dresses and an
occasional bevy of young people. There
was an atmosphere of disinterest yer it
all, and the horses came into the ring for
inspection as though they were rehearsing
for grander occasion, and so they were.
Painfully the afternoon wore away and
the programme dragged in unison with
the slowness of the judges. The park po-
lice wakened up the spectator, with an eI-
hibitlon and the four-in-hand tournouts
succeeded in generating a round of ap-

The horse show is a success, because So
ciety approves of it.
The second annual exhibition OF the
Horse-show Association of the Pacific
Coast opened yesterday morning, with
full stables, and the Mechanics Pavilion
was filled with the odor of tanbark and
the neigh of the best horses that ever gath
cred together for the inspection and ap-
proval of the judges and society.
AS is usual at such gatherings, the
morning and afternoon of the first day
wore away with the burden of preliminary
arrangements and the saddIing and
grooming paddock was sprinkled with lit

tie else than "those who had an eye for
horsefesh"-and those who thought they
had. 1t was merely a congregation of that
class OF fanciers who are sure to be on
hand whenever the horse is.
They roamed in and around the stalls
looking over the sleek animals with a
technical eve and frequent soliloquy re-
garding 'the creatures pose, his contour
and general appearance. At 10 o'clock
the programme began, and the ringmaster

GRIZZLY WHIPPED BY A BULL.
Tame Sunday Sport mt New Laredo,
Mexico-Denth of a Lion Keeper.

LAREDO Tex, April 15.--The fight be-
tween the California grizzly and the Mex
lean fighting bull, Panther" took place to-
day as advertised in the bull ring In New
Laredo, Mexico, but though it pleased the
crowd, it was not much of fight after all.
Great CONSERVATION was caused at one
stage of the fight when the bear, Icing
pursued into one of the corners by mad
rushes, proceeded to climb out over the
top of the cage. Citizens government Of
ficials bankers and business men who had
not been obliged to move actively since
their boyhood, all made a rush for the top
railing. and had not the bear, failing to
get over the barbed top of the cage, quiet
ly gone down the way he went up. these
good gentlemen would certainly have
jumped down the twenty-five feet to the
outside. The bull was fine animal and
was the aggressive party throughout. Any
thing with a bull in it pleases the Mexi-
cans and fight of great interest will prob
ably take pace in Monterey. Mexico. next
Sunday, when one of the best lighting bulls
is going against the lion Parnen in the
same large cage. 1T is reported that the
bear died an hour after the fight as re-
suit of his punishment.
George Rook keeper of the lion Parnell,
died last evening at the Mercy Hospital In
this city from blood poisoning as result
of his wounds received last Friday while
standing near the lions cage. The beast,
whom he had just been fonlling. caught
his arm and drawing 1t between the bars
of the cage, so lacerated his arm and
shoulders that amputation was necessary,
but even that failed to save MIN anu he
died without fully recovering consciousness
after the operation. Colonel Boone, the
lion tanner, who is the owner Of Parnel
suffered very similar accident many
the same way. but though he recovered
