COUNTRY COUSINS NIGHT"
TEN THOUSAND PEOPLE ATTEND
TIE BIG HORSE SNOW.

spicuously Absent-Marvelous High
Jumping-Awards.
New York, Nov. 1S.-Madison Square
Garden was comfortably filled by
about 5000 people this afternoon, and
it was jammed tonight. Fully 10000
people We're present
The promenade was a sea of humans
ty, and every seat, even in the top gall
lery, was taken. The occupants of
boxes were, perhaps, a trif1e less dressy
than on former nights, as Friday night
has come to be regarded as Country
Cousins Night" and the swells of So
ciety remain away
The contest over the high jump to-
night was a sensational feature. For
the first time the bars We're placed at
five feet. They We're then raised to five
feet six inches; six feet three inches,
and six feet six inches. The jumping,
was the best seen in the garden in sew
eral years. Lady Bird, Senator, Majes-
tic, Saint Randolph, and Lady Like
cleared the six foot jump. Mrs. How
lond's Lady Bird and P. F. Collins Ma
jestic failed at six feet three inches.
Adam Beck's Lady Like did all of the
jumps up to the six feet six inches.
On the first trial at that height she fail
ed. The second time she cleared it in
fine shape, amid the applause of the
crowd.
f,,oyD +1a n,,,. nd kno
did the six feet three inches in good
shape, but failed after three attempts
at six feet six inches.
Majestic also failed at the top height.
Lady Bird was given a chance, but
failed, and the prize of 5000 went to
Adam Beck of Canada. Lady Bird was
given second prize.
One of the prettiest pictures of the
afternoon session was that gallant sire,
Mambrino King, who, with four of his
progeny, competed for honors in class 3,
standard bred trotting stations with
four of their get, his opponents being
Ed Willett's Island Wilkes and B. w.
Ford's Trevillion. Mambrino fairly
dragged his handler around the ring as
he trotted with a fire and grace that
1dlIly put Ills youiA6Cl ll' ehio w oAteA'A -
and showed that his twentyfour years
sat lightly upon him. The old warrior
proudly led his offspring round the ring
after he was awarded the blue ribbon.
