Despite tho dismal weather another immense
crowd patronizod tho thirteenth annual exhi-
bition Of the National Horse Show Association
in Madison Square Garden yesterday evening.
The fine. bright afternoon brought out the
women and children In droves. but 1t wasn't
until tho evening session that tho men who
have to toll in order that the women may wear

that was local pride. but at any rate anybody

FATTY" Bates. who won every park class.
Turned down on tho opening day In q high
stopping class with his champion Coxey
and sent out OF tho ring In company with
Joseph L. Widener's crack performer and blue
ribbon winner, Won Harbinger. he gave vent to
his disgust, as told in THE SUN of yesterday. He
couldn't understand why he should be turned
down for the Hume candidates, Lieut.. Wilkes
and Lord Brilliant. which were first and
sboCOnu respectively. mo reRSOn assigned
By the judges yesterday for discarding
Coxey and Won Harbinger was that they
were not high steppers. Last evening
Coxey. In company with his mate Brown Donna,
scored over Lord Brilliant and Lieut.. Wilkes in
the class for high %steppers, not under 14.2 and
under 1872 hands. The Elkins pair, Lady Prim.

with face flaming with pleasure. was standing
talking to q circle Of friends when a young man
walked up and said:
M Bates will you take SO. 500 for Coxey ="
"No, sir; $5. 900 is my price,"
When Bates was asked IL he could explain
why Coxey had been turned down on Monday
he said:
I'm sure I don't know; perhaps he was q
nigh stopper tonight and wasn't last night"
was the naive reply, although some of the
Sudges led me to understand that he was going
higher on Monday night than ever before. But
I'm satisfied now. as I beat tho pair that were
nrst and second In the class for which I was
turned down yesterday"
But ths high'stepplng class didn't represent
Bateso winnings yesterday by any means, as
