| Nearly every box was occupied, nearly | every reserved seat was sold, and every | inch of available space in the general | admission part of the grandstand was l filled last night when the horse show com l menced.
 There was no presidential speech to draw the crowds to the fair grounds, but they came In larger numbers to see the 1 horse show than any other night The | crowd did not stay until all the classes 1 had been shown, as 1t was almost Il: :oo | o'clock before the judges had awarded the last prize.
 | Increased enthusiasm was evident at l the horse show last night as 1t was m | every other department of the fair yes | terday The crowd seemed to take more interest in what was going on In the l ring. and this was probably due to the 1 fact that the programme, with complete | lists of the entries, showing the horse breeding owner and conditions of the class were on sale. The public knew which horse was which, and the applause was enthusiastic whenever faVorlte passed near portions of the grandstand.
 Society was out in full force More eie- gantly dressed people occupied the boxes | last night than any night since the open | ing Monday, and society took greater interest in the horses in the ring than previously.
