CROWD AT HORSE SHOW

AltnOugn II was cold ana oreary yes terday. several thousand people went to the fair grounds to view the exhibits and to witness the double programme given at the horse show last night.
 The crowds were very large considering the weather, and during the races the grandstand was well filled. Many persons occupied the boxes.
 At the beginning of the horse show last night the grandstand and the boxes were we'll filed but the programme was so long and the weather became chilly towards the last, that nearly every one went home. By the time the last events were called there was no one left on the grounds but the judges, a few other of fcials and tho exhibitors. The programme was heightened considerably owing to the fact that Wednesday nights events and yesterday evenings events were both completed last night.
 Yesterday morning was consumed at the fair grounds in judging the horses and cattle in the arena in the ring classes. The judges were busy the entire morning and succeeded in finishing many of the classes.
 III the poultry eXIlDlI tHe JuuBeS WeIo at work all yesterday and the results will probably be made known today. There Is such a large number of entries that the judging of the fowls and the pets will require much longer than was ex pected. The work is, however, practically completed, and 1t is expected that the judges will hand their awards to Secre- tary Williams this morning.
