THE RECORD OF LAST WEEK

Horsemen are still talking about the
horse show and the results attained by it,
and the sentiment in favor of making it an
annual event is growing stronger and
stronger. During the progress of the show
The Evening Star suggested that Washing
ton presented peculiarly appropriate attrac-
lions for tho commencement of the horse
show circuit, SO to speak, in the same sense
that the reputable races of the eastern cir
cult are inaugurated here each season,
and this idea is being favorably consider
ed If the present intentions are carried
out the enterprising gentlemen who con-
Quoted the very successful show last week
will take measures to have next years
show later in the spring and make it an
open air event, erecting appropriate in
closure at some central point for the pur-
pose. The dates will be arranged so as to
close on the Friday before the Philadelphia
show begins, so as to permit horses and ap-
pointments to be transported at once to
the Quaker city and thence to the shows
following at Long Branch and other places.
Washington Led the List.

ington men are the poSsessors of very Su-
perior horses. Mr.. F. c. Stevens, president
of the show, is the owner of what is uni
versally acknowledged to be the finest col
lection of hackneys in the world while his
cross bred animals sired by hackney stall
lions out of American trottng mares are
proving the fact that his experiment in this
breeding for the purpose of creating
great American horse is already successful
