There was no appreciate diminution Of inter.
est or attendance at the National Horse Show
Associations big exhibition In Madison Square
Garden yesterday. Afternoon and evening tho
big amphitheatre was crowded. Tho success of
tho affair financially may be gauged from tho
fact that the management admits that $4,000
persons saw tho programme of Thursday dc.
cided. This means an enormous dividend, but
the public has had something In return for its
money, the entries for this year being away
above tho average of former seasons, save In a
few Glasses, the hackney and thoroughbred divl.
sions showing the most marked falling off.
The big building was ablaze last evening, and
the scene OF 10 o'clock was full OF nfo and go.
The programme was most attractive, and as
but one moro day Of tho exhibition remains,
there was q general desire to avoid tho crowd,
vhich 10 always 4 feature of the closing hours
OF the show. But apparently there was no es-
Gaping the jam. Thousands were of the Same
~opinion, and consequently there were fully TO-
coo persons present last evening.
There were many interesting competitions on
yesterdays programme, the trotting and hack
neg brigade having plenty 10 ainuso anu enter
tain them. +. O. Stevens, the New York State
breeder, swept the boards in many Of the i'm
portant hackney classes, and In receiving tho
return he so richly deserves for the judicious
Investments he made q few years ago. In the
trotting classes A. A. Bonner. Jr.. won with
King Reno, Jr.. 2:17, and the Hamlins Of Buffalo
scored with their great young fouryearold
Daredevil, 2 :0oR. James Cook of Philadelphia
won additional honors with his very handsome
two-year-old Ally Beleka. The harness horse
and coaching divisions also had something to
talk about. Bratton OF Chicago with his road
team reversing the condition Of former years
with his old rival, tho only Charley Bates.
The time competition, in which Bates and Car
man took part, was also a feature OF the days
exhibition, teams being changed by Bates's men
IN 90 seconds. The empurpled visaGe OF Bates
was worth going miles to see after this victory.
One of the features of tho afternoon show
full account of which will be found in another
column, was the pluck and skill displayed by
Misc Mary Holloway of Virginia while riding
the Philadelphia hunter Richmond. She was
thrown and tho horse fell on her. but she brave
ly continued her exhibition. and sent the jump
or over the fences in ~faultless style.
The absence of Frank d. Beard. who was to
have driven the Boston horses owned by Il. D.
Jordan, and DR.. George s. Gagnon during the
afternoon, when they should have been in tho
ring, was commented upon. Tho reason why
they weren't at the show giving exhibitions Of
their skill as whips will DO found in another
column. Gagnon was on hand during the even.
ing and drove his own pair, Northlight and
Great Cesar. in the tandem class, securing tho
red ribbon, and looked mono tho worse for his
Fough-and-tumble at tho Waldorf on Thursday
night.
