The Horse Show last night was crush
first and foremost. People getting off the
cars were confronted by a dense throng.
Once in there was no way of getting out
of it until one entered the building. this
only after slow degrees and by much
elbowing aud edging. The crowd was
l.appy and good natured, however, and
took things easily and leisurely ana made
! no complaints.
The thing that Impressed one instantly
as soon the entrance was gained was
that the audience was not only much
greater in mum bers, but that it was in a
lively. sympathetic humor, disposed to
evince both pleasure and displeasure as
occasion required and to take in every
thing that went on inside and outside Of
the ring.
AS to the women. the assembly was ele-
gantly attired. The gala toilets had been
Go,lred, and beauty in its bravery last
night was thing to impress one strong

horses the horsemen and horsewomen.
1'hat nothing interfered with their, powers
of observation and sense Of fair play was
seen toward the last OF the evening,
when the judges ruled out Mrs Robert
Shaw's and Miss Daniels mounts. The
audience hissed and clamored until its
fayorites We're recalled and Mrs. Shaw
was given her opportunity, which it was
thought she deserved
The riding last evening was very fine,
and the driving equally so. The harness
as we'll as the saddle horses and hunters
had, many Of them, great beauty of form
and action, and afforded much pleasure
to the spectators.
The end OF the evening was but the
beginning Of another kind of entertain
