New YORK. November 22-In our gayeBt \
blankets and bilnkers we've galloped to the /
horse show inst as II we enjoyed 1t. Those |
Of us who are candid confess we 60 to see 4
and be seen. All horses liRe all persons Of /
African descent, look alike to US, but So
elety demands attendance upon this great
annual function, so, where duty calls, we |
are Johnny on tho erot
There was one picturesque feature TO the |
afternoon session Tuesday which no other 4
horse show has furnished II was time for
the judging OF the hunters and among the 4
entries were some Of the most highly priced /
animals from the great stock farms OF tho /
United States and Canada. Trailing after \
the aristoerats thefe rode into the ring an \
old man with long whiskers, astrlde q big \
boneds shaggy coated korse, The horse and /
rider looked as though they had come
straight from the farm. And they had The /
rider seated on an old brass mounted |
Confederate saddle aud he used bit Of I
bushy cedar brush for whip, but he went \
Into the competition with zest and took a 4
lot OF chnnng with the utmost good ma
'ture.
He was James r. Purcell. nm old Viz. !
ginian, who had fought at Gettysburg and /
has his farm on the battlefield of Gaines /
Vile. BE admitted he had never been in 4
show ring before, nut he said he had come I
North to show New Workers what good /
horsehesh looks Ike. 1t was the essence |
of old Nirginny the old soldier threw into
the days proceedings, but his Journey was
OF no avail for although the judges treated /
him aid his nag with every confederation I
they failed 10 get even the empty honor OK /
Highly commended. The shaggy coated /
Virginia horse didn't have the style or show |
the PAGES OF the aristOcratic animals he met I
IN the composition, but those who know 7
horse said old man Furcells skate"
would break the hearts Of the others IN (

The show Of gowns at the garden this
week has been wonderful For rlur
nihcence there has been nothing TO equal |
1t. The weather 81 the world seems to be /
here. The sight in Sherry's. Dclmonlco's I
and the Waldorf before and after the even /
Ing show is gorgeous.
