derbHt at Garden.

Hackneys and hunters had the call on the sec
ond day of the twentieth annual reign of King
Horse at the Madison Square Garden yesterday.
Although what was known the hackney
craze" has somewhat abated the presence of
several full bodied, dashing, straight stepping
English horses of this breed in competition
with American animals stimulated the interest.
The jumping events always favored by the
crowd and there several yesterdays
programme which were worth while.
The afternoon crowd was almost a record
breaker in Horse Show history. The beautiful
day without the Garden gave everybody
chance 10 get out, and at + o'clock there were
nearly twice as many people in the Garden
were there at that time the opening day.
Naturally the second night crowd not as
large the opening night. The boxes We're
nearly all filled, however. and there We're more
people of social prominence than have ever before
graced a second night. If further assurance was
needed that the Horse Show had not fallen off in
popularity account of the craze for auto
mobiles for any other reason, the attendance
and interest yesterday furnished It,
CHARACTERS AT THE SHOW.
For at least one box party yesterday was the
first day Of the show 1t was a family party.
and the members told the uniformed individual
at the gate that the reason they had not ap-
qeared for the opening day that the train
from Council Bluffs delayed. They came to
the Garden from their hotel as soon as they
could put on the show tOgs'
The mother of the party was an expansive
woman, and her gown of rose chiffon velvet,
trimmed in ermine, must have cost several
Nebraska steers With spreading, trailing skirts
she sailed over the tiled floor of the entrance
until she caught the horsey smell of the stables.
This smell usually makes people sniff twice, ana
tells them that it is really horse and not a
dress show that they have gathered TO see.
The Western matron did not like it,
I'm not going in she declared, halting her
family If you think I'm going to take this
beautiful dress into any old stable you are sadly
mistaken"
But, mother interposed the daughter who
was equally dressed for a box front killing"
you got the dress for the Horse Show"
But the SMELL she began.
Moth balls" limited the daughter. bringing
out a bottle of salts.
The jumpers We're az it when the Westerners
found their box. The crowd enjoying the
antics of baker, who willing to dance
anywhere in the ring. but simply would not
take the jumps
I'D like to bet thousand I could take thar
horse over said the father gripping his knees
about the chair in which he sat. I'd like to
bet"
That horse then decided to jump. and then the
OLD man made a book with his sons as TO the
decision of the judges on the event He knew
a horse when he one. too. and called the
winners in more than one event before the after
noon was over
A man in the full leather garb of the arch
enemy of the horse with goggles turned up over
his cap, attracted some attention last night as
he strolled about the ring. There flavor
of burned gasoline about him. and he was about
the only grumbler in the place.
Il don't give that for a horse show" ne
growled, swapping his fingers. You can't get no
speed out of horse Give me an auto show
every time"
PRINCETON MEN THERE.
A group of Princeton undergraduates strolIed
into the Garden early in the evening Evidently
it was their first horse show. They gave one
glance at the elaborate decora tions of black and
yellow orange.

ours all rightH'
Whereupon they gave the Princeton yell with

that we did Yale" unused one. Then they
caught sight of the beautifully gowned women
in the long lines of boxes. and even alma mater
