THE HORSE HAS HIS DAY
NO COUNTER ATTRACTION
Plunging Team Upsets Judge
Without Much Damage.

The fact that Prince Louis of Battenberg did
not grace the horse show at Madison Square
Garden last night and the absence of many
men and women we'll known in society who
We're attending the ball aboard the British
flagship Drake gave the horse really half
show This all who familiar with horse
show custom will not hesitate to admit was
unique.
The boxes were comfortably filled, however,
while the promenade was. usual, a crush
throughout the judging. Five excellent classes
were down for decision, and the ring committee
for the evening was Thomas Hitchcock, jr..
and Frank K Sturgis During ths day Robert
Bacon and E. D. Morgan acted in this ca
pacity.
The only untoward incident occurred as the
contestants in the class for pairs of horses to
victorias were leaving the ring. Jay F. Car
Isle had just won the blue with Eloquence and
Revenue the second victory yesterday of this
most SNOWY pair, which scored to a brougham
in the afternoon. A salvo of applause greeted
the success of the Brooklyn horseman.
The noise frightened all the horses in the ring,
with the result that of the pairs veered
oyer among the officials. Shelby T. HARRISON,
one of the judges. was knocked down, but was
not hurt in the least. The drivers soon straight
ened the horses out.
This class was, perhaps, the most sensational
of the night Eben D. Jordan had entered Hill
dred and Plymouth Champion, but did not
show perhaps because Hildred was beaten on
Monday when shown with Chestnut Poll, which
had poor action. Alfred G. Vanderbilt sent The
Youngster and Rustling SILK on the tanbark
only TO get the gate. c. w. Watson withdrew
Lord Baltimore and My Maryland. James Ho-
bart Moore had Lord Roberts and Harold H
in while Dosors Park Stable entered Lady
Eocene and Lady Barbara, and William H.
Moore depended on Don and Fife.
Mr. Carlisle's pair worked best together. how
ever and was not to be denied. Lord Roberts
and Harold H. received the red. Had the latter
been as good as the former the pair would prob
ably have won. Lady Eocene and Lady Bar
bara won the yellow, and the white went to
Don and Fife Mr.. Carlisle may well be proud
of the victory of Eloquence and Revenue. for the
pair scored over some mighty good bits of horse
flesh
