TRULY A CREDIT TO THE EAST
Would Yesterday's Collection of
Handsome Equipages and Melted
Steeds Have Been.

What the storming is to the carnival
In the way Of evening entertainment
the equipage parade is in the line of
daylight attractions, and it is no ex-
aggeration to say that the display Of
turnouts in line yesterday would have
done credit to many a larger city
/ whose citizens have the means and the
opportunity to possess up-to-date horses
Ind traps.
That the people of the Twin Cities
were interested in the exhibition of
horsefiesh and vehicles was best at
tested by the interest shown in the
affair and the discrimination manifest
ed by the spectators along the line of
the parade. 1t was announced that the
cavalcade would start from the vicinity
of Rice park, and long before the en-
tries had put in an appearance the park
and surrounding streets were lined with
people.
Director Robert Seng was much in
evidence and assigned the different
whips their place in the line. The
route was to be on Sixth street from
the Windsor hotel to Sibley street and
Seibert's and STEMS bands were sta
toned at the Ryan hotel and Grand
! opCld HOuSe COILeT, respectively, To
| liven the occasion with appropriate
music. AT o'clock the line of equip
ages, headed by Lieut.. Budy and his
stalwart mounted officers started down
/ the street, between two long lines of
interested spectators, with Luther E.
Newport holding the ribbons over four
blacks hitched to a Tantivy sleigh, in
! the lead. Accompanying him were Mrs
] Ncrr
: the rear seat were two well-appointed
footmen. The judges were E. B. Put
nam, st. Paul; r. F. Jones, Mime
apolis, and E. L. Hersy, Saltwater,
while George r. Finch officiated as
referee.
They were stationed upon an elevated
| Platform directly in front of the Met
fcpolltan opera house, commanding an
uninterrupted view of the turnouts
both up and down the street. Follow
ing closely upon the Newport four-in-
hand came a second four-in-hand driV-
en- by 5. c. Cook, consisting of black
leaders and bay wheelers, dragging
| comfortable looking three-seated sleigh
IN which there were a number of ladies'
The horses carried bright red plumes.
Among those which followed were
| enough smart traps and well-bred
horses to establish a claim for the two
cities of much dignity and advance
nlent in this direction. The Minneapo-
lis people were we'll represented, and
| the decision Of the judges furnished
sufficient evidence Of the absolute fair
ness exercised in the awarding of
prizes. w. H. Bromley drove three
melted horses in Russian Troika fash
ion, with arches gaily decorated with
plumes and ribbons over them.
Crawford LiVingstons tandem, with
| ND flIr,n
to natty tan-colored sleigh, attracted
! much favorable attention, and was fol-
| lowed by Wilder Merriam's pair, one
ahead of the other, decked out in yellow
plumes and quarter blankets, and
hooked UP to a black sleigh marked
with yellow trimmings. Philip Shu-
! feldt sat with w. J. c. Kenyon in a
/ pretty dark-green sleigh, hauled by a
| pair of clipped bobtails adorned with
white plumes, while following them
were Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Peet in a COM
| Portable looking turnout to which were
attached black and grey geldings. The
man was gotten up in good style in
furs. Louis Kossuth Hull, of Mineap-
Oils, sent over spanking pair of bay
cobs hitched to a quaint red tub Sleigh
With smart trappings, locked tails and
! gay plumeS the pair made hit in front
OF the well-appointed vehicle. Maj.
| Tucker, who was accompanied by Ruk-
ard Hurd, appeared in a substantial
sleigh literally covered with beautiful
furs, a fur-covered coachman and a
sprightly team, with orange decora-
tions and dark green quarter blankets.
Mayor Smiths bay team, with yellow
and green plumeS and blankets, were
ahead of the executives family sleigh,
in which sat alone diminutive miss.
Cal Goodrich, Of Minneapolis, was
the only one entered who sent a
!, o1o,
clipped steppers harnessed in the best
possible taste, was much admired.
George Thompson was in line with a
black team with plumes and gold
mounted harness before a spacious well
built sleigh. The only entry to cap
ture two prizes was that of c. NJ. Har-
rington, of Minneapolis. swell pair
of well-bred, pony-built steeds, bright
in gold mountings and scarlet plumes
danced ahead of a smart phaeton cut
ter and were guided by a most correct
ly appointed coachie One prize went
to the trap and the other the man
trapped.
A similar equipage with the excep-
ton that the decorations were of
orange, followed Mr.. Harringtons
turnout and was duly admired.
An interesting outfit was composed
of two well-groomed grays to a cutter
decorated with red, white and blue rib
bon streamers and rosettes.
Rufus Clark handled the lines over
q striking bay trotter hooked up to a
high-bodied black cutter with yellow
markings, just ahead of Horace Bige-
low with a trim cutter and a team of
long-tailed chestnuts. Billy Hamm
was a prize winner and drove a pretty
team to his cutter, the horses being
simply adorned with blue rosettes
George N. Hillman, of the United
States district court, sat up behind
cream colored stopper newly clipped
and garnished with blue streamers.
Mr.. Hillman rode in a quiet red box
cutter. Fred Schroeder made a hit
with his pure white cutter, horse and
| russell harness. The horse was mettIe-
some and gaily Haunted a number of
white and blue plumes, while the
driver was attired in a blue and white
carnival costume. The robes were
white and blue.
Master Egbert Clark managed a dig
| nified-looking gray hackney and the
opinion was expressed that he should
have won prize.
DR.. Price guided a sorre1 stopper,
who bore on his head single green
and red plume and dragged a trim
cutter, while George Nash appeared
in line behind his trusty roadster. and
mounted on a sulky sleigh Louis
