The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-07-10

Still further improvement in the at
tendance at the horse show gave the
boxes and grand stand an animated
appearance yesterday afternoon, and
from time to time as the assemblage
vigorously applauded the action of the
judges in the show arena, or vocifer-
ously cheered the winner of a heat or
race on the speed track, it's numerical
increase was strikingly apparent. The
attendance of yesterday is estimated
by the management to have been more
than 5000. EfN
The days programme as whole was
fully up to the high standard estab-
lished and of the proceedings in the
show ring it may be said that they
were of a character to be more inter
esting to the general spectator than
those of the preceding days, from the
fact that the scoring on points appar-
ent principally to the judges and those
experienced in knowledge of horses
and equipment, was generously inter-
spersed with exhibitions of high jump
ing and high school riding, and the
classes shown presented a pleasing va
riety. The race card, while presenting
no such event as the Derby of the pre-
vious day, was a good one and furnish
ed at least two highly exciting speed
contests.
Among the number of visiting horse
men who were present yesterday at
the show were: G. l. Hexter, the we'll
known horse dealer of New York, who
acted as agent for Miss Gould in her
recent purchase of a very high priced
pair of horses, and D. r. Mills, prom
inent horse fancier of Iowa.
Important Sales Made.
Thus far this show has brought
about several transactions whereby
valuable animals have changed hands,
and it is understood that negotiations
are now pending for several more i'm
portant sales. The most important
of the sales thus far made public is
that whereby w. G. CARING becomes
the owner of the handsome brown
mare Duchess, until yesterday the
property of E. L. Hersey, probably
the most valuable show animal own
ed in ST. Paul. Duchess has appeared
singly and with Duke as mate in pair
events, won several prizes in the pres
ent show and a number in previous
competitions. Very soon after her
change of ownership she took first
prize in the gig class of yesterday,
in which some of the finest animals
from the AShbrOok and Palmer stables,
as we'll as a large field of local horses,
were entered. The price Mr.. CARING
paid for her was $4,000, and it is stat
ed that before the day was over he
was offered $4,000 for her by Mr.. Hex
ter. Mr.. Palmer, of Denver, has pur-
chased the horse Noble st. Cloud
from j. D. McArdle, of Minneapolis,
and it is said has negotiated for sew
eral other animals that have been
exhibited in this show.
Prominent among, the visitors yes
terday was w. l. Pickett, grand ex-
allied ruler of the Elks, and George
G. Cronk, of Omaha, who is also a
high officer of the order.
