NewYork is ready for the annual Horse Show,
which will begin at Madison Square Garden to-

be a morning. afternoon and evening session

the exhibit promises to be unusually interest

tional Horse Show Association, and the judges
platform has been put up in the centre of the
arena, in it's accustomed place. The judges to-
day will be Colonel Delaney A. Kane and
Senator George Peabody Wetmore while Will
lam G. Whitney and William H. Taller will act
in the same capacity in the evening. The direct
ors of the association and their friends enjoyed
the annual luncheon in the restaurant of the
Garden yesterday afternoon. James Villepisue
was the caterer.
At the end OF the luncheon Mr.. Whitney was
called on for a speech. and while he did not re-
spond in the humorous strain that he did last
year his words were appauded. He said in
