been perfect and everything: that could
be asked or desired. With Wednesday

That the Horse Show has come to stay
no one who attended it last night and
mingled with the thousands of people
there and heard their expressions of en-
trusiastic approval, can doubt.
The show is .the thing This is the
almost unanimous verdict of those who
have seen it.
There was a perfect jam and a crush
last night. 1t is estimated that the audi
ence was almost as large as those OF
Tuesday and Wednesday nights COM
bined. Nearly every seat was occupied,
and it was almost impossible at tunes
for one To pass along the promenade
walk on account of the numbers OF people
gathered there Many who went out did
not enter the building on account OF It's
crowded condition.
Society was out in great numbers
There were to be seen more elegant cos
tunes than on any previous night TINS
week Many people had come trom other
cities and from other States.
There was one sensational event The
building was in total darkness for nearly
five minutes. Just as the horses We're
being brought in to participate in one OIL
the events the lights suddenly Went OBJ.
That a panic did not occur is almost mi
raclIlous. For a second or two tnsre was
perfect silence. Then there was a muir
n,r that indicated excitement and ner-
sousness, chiefly on the part of the ladies
in the crowded galleries. Men of tact and
cool heads in various parts of the build
ing urged The crowd to remain seated
Don't rock the boat was the warm
ing of one old gentleman. She will reach
shore if you will be quiet"
LIGHTED UP AGAIN.
There was a new danger when scores
of people began 10 light matches, for any
sernbiance Of fire would have caused many
to attempt to leave the building.
Put out those Matches was the ad-
monition from hundreds. and it had its
effect When the lights suddenly reap
peared a cheer went up that aould have
been heard a mile away.
The crowd began 10 gamer earlier than
usual There was a perfect Jam about
the gate opening into the grounos, and
people were almost tranfpled upon by
those eager TO get in and secure the best
seats. There are thousands OF people
who would welcome more than one en-
trance TO thet grounds Many who went
out in parties got separated in this crush

tanning his long stanuing reputation Of
getting off parades at the hour fixed upon.
He was Just ,nree minutes late, and half
an hour before II o'clock, the time fixed
upon for the start, he had his large corps
Of assistants and aides ready. The three
minutes delay came from an unavailable
source.
The great crowd of the previous Gay
had been augmented several thousands,
and it was stated by the hotel people
and others who are, accustomed to size
up crowds, that the throng in Richmond
yesterday was the largest ever seen here.
MASS OF HUMANITY.

utter imposSlpllity for any one person to
make anything like rapid headway TO any

Not alone were the people crowded on
Broad Street. The side streets. and the

were so closely filled that the sidewalks
almost uuaked.

Church of America accomplished much
routine work to-day but made little pro-
gress toward disposing of the canon on
marriage and divorce, which came up
before a committee Of the whole in the
House Of Deputies The popular interest
in the subject was evidenced by the
crowded galleries, a large majority of the
spectators being women, nearly all OF
whom remained until the House ad-
journed-
The decision, however, was of a purely
technical character. Quibbles over words
and the punctuation of sections, to which
there was little opposition, took UP much
time There seemed to be a determine
ton to secure technical correctness in
the text. It was also noticed that many
lawyers in, the lay delegation We're taking
a keen interest in the subject.
The fourth and most important section
of the canon, which was adopted by the
Bishops, practically forbidding the mar
rage Of divorced persons. was not
reached. The two first sections and all
but the last paragraph of section Were
adopted, with but one slight change, the.
conjunction nor being stricken out,
thus dividing the para graph into two
complete sentences.
An attempt was made to consider the
matter behind closed doors, but the at
