TO look at the horses
Experienced observers express the opinion that
tho Horse Show has been more truly and Pc
culia.ly societys this year than for several
years. These same observers declare that for
the last two three years there had seemed to
exist tendency on the par, OF fashionable folk
who made the show and stamped it with Their
own seal. TO desert their creation on account o.
the too prominent Intrusion ot certain people
who were not in what is called society The
consequence OF this threatened desertion
that many OF the 'undesirablcs' retresied. They
cared nothing tor the Horse Show hen it was

FEARS PROVED GHOUNDLESS.
When the doors Of tho Garden were opened
yesterday morning there was good reason for
A little discouragcmcnt on the part of the direc-
tors of the association for tho day began cloudy.
and the heavy clouds that hung over the city
seemed likely to food the streets =; any mo-

happily proved groundless. and thoy might
we'll have gone on rejoicing over the fact ths'
the first three days OF the week showed several
hundred dollars increase in the boX-ofIice re-
cepts. as compared With the corresponding
days Of last years exhibition The days pro-
gramme proved strong enough to Offset the un-
pleasant weather so long rain did not actu-
ally fall And. indeed there was more variety in
the list of classes brought out for Judging than
on any other day Of the week. The harness
horses were not presHr. in such profusion. but
almost every other class in the show was 10 be
seen in the ring ana the mounted police were
down for an appearance in the evening.
The morning attendance vas light as usual.
but not apprecidbly lighter than usual. and the
thin throng that hung t, tho rails was made
up OF its customary majority OF children
Among the riders who appeared in the ring
in the course of the morning exercise hour was
Miss Eta Lane, 10 all appearances none tire
worse for her encounter Of the day before with
the hoof Of the fractions hackney Glendower.
As on the morning before. too. she rode Mr..

There WAS a mora attached 10 the showing
of the next class It was FOR hackney mares
only six entries Time was when certain peo-
pie expressed a fear that tho Horse Show would
ultimately become 4 hackney show. and there
was some ground for tho fear. All danger o'
that result seems past There are some good
hackncys 10 ne seen at the Garden this week.
but their numbers are wofully few and the
class is not regarded as averaging high. Only
