of the Occasion. n

be judged from the expressions Of ap-
prevail voiced by three fourths Of the 20
900 persons who crowded upon the avenue
to witness the event. In spite Of the bit
ter wind, the lovers Of horses were out
in force. From Fourteenth to Twenty
fifth streets, the sidewalks on both sides
Of the avenue were packed, and at some
points the crowd, poured out upon the
roadway, and the police were forced to
clear a way for the parade. The crowd
was good natured one, nevertheless, and
no disorder occurred during the afternoon.
The exhibit of horses and equipages
was a most notable one. Men who had
seen both shows stated that the display
on Park avenue yesterday included more
fine horses. and horses aggregating more
in value than were shown during whole
week at Kansas city last fall when the
receipts Of the show amounted to more
than s60,00O
The stylish horses, the handsome
sleighs, and the fur clad drivers and other
occupants Of the turnouts, formed a pic
ture well worth seeing. Thousands Of
dollars were represented In each Of a
number Of the turnouts. A. E. Ash
brook of Kansas City, one Of the judges,
stated that Minneapolis had the material
for magnificent horse show, and he pre-
dicted that the exhibit at the annual
show next summer would be one of the
best in the country. TX ..'
n. r. JONES, WHO managed the carnival
said that he was exceedingly plea sed
with the evident popular interest in the
show, but more than all with the class of
exhibits and exhibitors, and the hearty
spirit with which the local lforsemen had
entered in the affair. 49,
Four-in- hands, pairs and tandems were
represented by the largest number OF
entries. Light harness horses, both trot-
tiers and PAGERS were there in large num-
bers and the entries in the classes in
cluded many animals which have taken
good records on the track.
The turnout Of horses and sleighs was
quite as noteworthy as the crowd itself.
Besides Dan Patch, the star of the oc-
casion nearly 100 stylish animals were in
various classes. The handsome sleishs
and the rich furs of the drivers and other
occupants of the equipages helped to COM
plete the ensemble Of a most attractive
spectacle. The show was really rather a
society affair than sporting event. The
turnouts displayed in the different classes
included the choicest in the twin cities.
fourth hands, pairs and tandems were
represented by the largest number of en-
tries. A number Of stylish teams were
shown in the Shetland classes also, and
the light harness horses, both PAGERS and
trotters, were we'll represented.
Dan Patch Center OF Interest
Dan Patch appeared on the avenue
shortly after o'clock, and cheer after
cheer greeted the famous PAGER as he was
driven slowly up the roadway. The en-
thusiasm of the crowd was so great that
1t was found necessary to send a squad of
police ahead of the horse to clear a path
for him. When the sweepstakes, best
single light harness, horse event, was
called, 1t was found that the four horses
which had entered against Dan Patch
had, withdrawn, leaving the Savage horse
a clear field. The judges did not hesitate
in awarding the blue ribbon to Patch
= The Journal Newsboys' band was prom
inent in the parade and played number
of pleasing numbers during the judging
