MANA sAs. VA, July 2o.--This has
been an idenl horse show day, and the
large crowds iii attendance upon the
fret day OF the Manassas Horse Show
apparently enjoyed themselves to the
fullest extent. There were no accidents
to mar the pleasure Of the oniookcrs.
and no dust to cloud the vision Of the,
hundreds who thror,ged around the show
ring.
The rain Of Tuesday evening put the
grounds in first-class condition and added
to this was q delightful shower to-day
during the hour taken for recess. At no
time during the entire day was To
show q drag, but the classes were got
ten into the ring and put through the
performances with splendid dispatch. Nor
was the judging, az 5ls usually the case case,
a bore to the crowd. Although in some
OF the classes, Il looked 70 the snecta-3
tor that 81 decision, could not be- reached
Between some OF tire horses, yet the,
Judges seemed TO have very little trpu-
bio IN awarding the prizes, and their
decision In H every class seemed! to meet
with approval from the grand stand
