threats of rain. a very distinguished rep
resentation of Capital society graced the
early hours OF the Washington Horse
Shows second day. The patronage and
| approval offered the affair by Washing

| the National Capital
| The trifiing difficulties necessarily at
tendant upon the opening OF such an af-
fair have been overcome and smoothed
away and there is no ground for crtti-
cism against either the management or

accidents that narrowly escaped being
serious. This has been remedied. how
ever. and the tanbark show ring is now
all that could be expected.
The morning hours of today were given
over to exercising and brought out a
! number of very handsome animals in har-
ness and under saddle. There will be an
other parade of hackney studs today
and it may be remarked that the exhibit
in this class is perhaps the finest ever
seen in any show ring. The parade today
will be for prizes. which was not the case
