HORSE SHOW CLOSES.
Attendance Was Not as Large as
Was Expected.
Mayor McGuinness Presents the Cups tc
the Several winners.

After postponement Of two days tn
horse show was drawn to a successful
end at Adelaide Park yesterday after
noon. The weather was all that could be
desired, the track was good, the entries
large, but the attendance was smaller
than was the case on Governors day,
though an even larger crowo was ex-
pected to witness the closing ceremonies
and the presenting Of the loving cups
10 the winners by His Honor Mayor Nc
Guinness. Perhaps the commencement
exercises at Brown University drew a
number OF people who. under other con.
ditions, would have attended the show.
The event which was looked forward TO
with considerable anticipation the open
to-aii jumping class proved dismal
failure Only j. Is. Lewis two horses
and Joseph Reynolds Dick Dongan en-
tered the ring. OF the trio Lewis Pay
master was the only horse that jumped
at all and his walk was very mediocre.
The usual pretty display of high step.
pers and fancy turpouts made the rounds
Of the track, and for the most part OF tho
afternoon kept the spectators interested,
but the trotters and PAGERS were the draw
ing cards and all interest conferred upon
them.
At the end OF tho judging the cups
were presented 10 winners by His Honor
drawn over providence's first horse
show. AS horse show it was success !;
as a society event 10 also scored hit, but
financially II proved IA failure. Still the
money part was hardly expected 10 come
out on the right side, especially whom IL
was taken into consideration that this
was tho experimental year Another
season may find more entries. more people
and more interest centered on the event,
and with any kind OF decent weather it
should score marked advance over this
first annual horse show.
