Remarkable Features.

The Horse Show at the Worlds Fair yes
teriay resulted in the exhibition of sev-
! eral horses which probably have not beer
excelled In horse shows in st. Louis.
The judging was done in the road east
of the Palace OF Agriculture as the I've
! Stock Forum was not IN condition 10 re-
I ceive the show. II was announced that
! the show to-day will be held in the Forum
one of the finest pairs shown was that
of Alex Bradford of Columbia. Mo, which
won the roadsters ring. Sometimes and
Always are well known show horses. AL
ways has not been defeated and has sew
enteen blue ribbons to show for his
career in the show ring.
Probably the keenest competition was
produced by the ring of combination
horses This was won by Silver King a
beautiful gray. whose conformation. ac-
tion and manners are all of a very high
grade. There We're horses which could
surpass him In any one of necessary quail
tlcations. hut his high standard in all won
for him the blue ribbon
The judging Of the ponies saw the de
feat of David Harum. the diminuttva
black. which was hitherto unbeaten. This
clean-limbed little performer has ail his
pretty manners which have aided him in
winning his eleven blue ribbons. but he
has become 80 heavy that he seems To
have lost in dash and action. FIRST ana
second places were given 10 the entries OF
Charles f. Bum of Peoria. Ill, Harum
being placed third.
Although Keyes- Marshall Bros. had two
os the three entries in the ring for tour-in-
hands. first place went TO John 5. Brat-
ton, the East ST. Louis hOrSeman. whose
lot was easily the best He took another
blue ribbon with bay team in the ring
for horses for town use. There was no
competition. which was regretted as Brat
ton drove a stylish pair.
The ring for mares and geldings. to road
We gons and bugGies. brought out another
fine field. Arch Mains of Virginia. H..
won this with beautiful light bay. This
was one of the most perfect horses as to
conformation that was shown. and this did
much toward winning, as other entries cx-
celled in action. Ii was an Illinois day all
through. all but three of the blue ribbons
going to that State.
