The sun. (Wilmington, Del.) 1897-19??, 1901-06-06

There has always seemed to me to be
il special affinity between horses, sun
shine and bright weather, and the
weather yesterday was certainly horsey
enough Blue skies with the beautiful
fleeey clouds of June made canopy for
wel-bred horses and high-bred women
and men. Old Sol seemed to be making
up for lost time and shone down tiercely
but the horses did not mind this, nor did
tie women and men, apparently, for
that matter. Judging from the crowds
in the grand stand and boxes and in the
open carriages about the track. The time
may be at hand in view of the new
methods Of locomotion. and through the
ingenuity Of Mr.. Edison that Horse
Shows will be thing of the past but
today the noble steed still holds his place
Of honor in spite Of the putting and
blowing Of the clumsy automobile and
the electric carriages that science puts
forth and society buys to, because it is
il fad.
