DRILL OF PARK POLICE.
In the evening there was really spectacular
feature to which even langufd society gave close
attention. II was the exhibition drill given by
two platoons of mounted police from the Central
Park Squad. They were in command OF Ser
geant William c. Egan. under whom Roundsman
John W. Wilson and Herbert L. Howard COM
manded the platoons The drill the men gave
was q revelation to those who are not familiar
with the evolutions Of the crack cavalry "regi-
ments. Every horse Of the twenty-eight was
bay. and every one had long and graceful tail.
Every one of them was ridden by officer who
knew how to ride. not so showily as some OF the
fashionab BILE folk who follow the hounds or the
aniseseed bag, but with exceeding great effect
iveness. The horses showed that they were good
business animals. Every one of them appeared
TO understand the orders given as well as his
rider and he fell into his allotted place without
the least hesitation The horses wheeled into
twos and fours and Fights and platforms and
companies broke into columns of tours. marched

the sort of training that makes them capable OF
performing almost daily the feats Of herosm that
have made them marked men. Everybody knows
that more than one mounted policeman has lost
his life in discharging his duty. They got more
genuine applause last evening than has any other
feature of the Horse Show thus far.
At the close Of the company drill each horse
showed his PAGES separately to the judges in
competition for the individual prizes To the
average spectator there seemed to be little DIFF
ference between the respective merits OF tne
beautiful bays but the judges gave the blue
ribbon and the first prize Of 5000 to Terrffer
