nounced.
Both programmes of yesterday met
with high appreciation and each pre-
scented special features Of a pleasing
character.
Local brougham and Victoria pairs
had their opportunity in the evening,
and, while there was but little open
enthusiasm expended upon the turn
outs as they We're driven around the
arena by groonns,, there was much sup
pressed interest in the outcome of the
competition, as the equipages each had
an individuality to most of the ocCu-
pants of the boxes. First prize in this
class was won by M H. Foleys pair,
Kit and Prince, shown before a
brougham; second by George c. Finch's
Duchess and mate, driven to Victoria,
and third to w. F. Poets Onika and

Son; Dick and Harry, L. H. Gutter
man; Prince and Queen, Charles

An event for trotting pairs Of the
roadster class brought out practically
the same three entries as on the pre-
vious night, and with the same result
w. G. CARING took first prize with his
Pickwick pair, Rhea w and Easter
Bell; A. E. Ashbrook second, with Miss
Lou and Zulu q, and A. E. Ashbrook
third, with Richard Yea and mate.
Richard Yeas mate on this occasion
was American Beauty, the high school

creditably in harness.
1t was learned last night that Mr..
CARING has sold his pair. Rhea w and
Easter Bell to George M. Webb, of
Philadelphia, who is one of the
judges of this show. and is famed
throughout the country as foremost
among the exhibitors of roadsters The
price which Mr.. Webb has paid for the
CARING pair is still secret, but it is
understood to have been very close to
$4,000. When Mr.. Webb leaves ST.
Paul, at the close of his show, he will
at once take his new horses East to
put them in shape for the Eastern
horse shows. 1t Is understood to be
his purpose to pair Rhea W with a
mare he now owns that has won thir-
ty-five prizes in the roadster class.
Mr.. Webb has won this class for five
successive seasons at the New York
show, and his purchase here is with
the purpose of making it six. Rhea, as
Mr.. CARING had her mated, has never
fallen behind the blue ribbon.
