NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 14.-Amer-
ica's greatest horse show closed tonight,
alter most successful week. The total
attendance has been close to 10000. So
ciety has been on hand as usual, but the
mass of visitors have been true lovers of
the horse, in his many varied types,
shown here as never before on this side of
the Atlantic.
The management mas the satisfaction of
knowing that arrangements have been so
perfect for handling the crowds of people
and for caring the horses tn at no accident
to man or beast has marred the occasion.
Horsemen and horsewomen from other
cities, as well as from this locality, have
nothing but praise for the show and its
exhibits. The judging has been most
fair. In no class has favoritism been
shown, and those who have failed to win
first prizes admit fair defeat.
Yesterday the greatest crowd of the
week was present. The paid admissions
numbered over $4,000 This afternoon
6750 people were present. Tonight, when
the greatest crowd of the week was ex-
pected, the Jam was no greater than last
night. The box and the arena seats were
filled and the promenade was a surging
mass of humanity.
Half a dozen championships were
awarded and there were plenty of num-
bers to stir up the enthusiasm OF the
crowd.
