That show horses as we'll as racehorses have
their of days and seasons was demonstrated
yesterday when Charles f.. Bates's National
Horse Show champion OF 1893 The Whirl OF
the Town got no better than third prize In an
exhibition OF housekeeping park horses at
Manhattan Field. Many good judges ex-
pressed the opinion last fall that The Whirl OF
the Town was the best horse OF his class ever
seen In this country. and he swept everything
before him at the Garden. beating his
noted stable companion. CoIey. for the
championship Of tho show. The same
mon had to acknowledge yesterday that q
yellow ribbon was all he deserved In the class
for high steppers OF the lightweight sort. He
lacked the snap and brilliancy OF action that
won the championship last year. and he had
lost something OF the gloss OF coat and beauty
OF form as we'll. His owner stated that the
crack stopper had been all of. and that he
was hardly ut TO show.
Lord Brilliant, the horse that took his scalp
at Manhattan Field yesterday. Ia o dock-tailed
trotter OF high class that was formerly owned
by George B. Hume. but Is now In the stable
Of II. c. Hoskier. He was shown by Aurel Ba-
tonyl. and his performance was as fine as his
conformation and his quality. The horse is q
dark chestnut in color. with q top line that
could hardly be surpassed. He has nothing OF
the dropping quarters so common among trot-
ting-bred horses. his Group being carried out
high. with the tail set on in the right way. Some
OF the critics say his action is too stilted and
lacks reach. but everybody voted him to be a
splendid little horse a. he went spinning up

son and Sigsbee. in the class for women's park
