The horseshow program last night
was peerless. The cool weather had
put a gimp in the horses that made their
action sensational, and the quality Of
the classes was really superb. The un-
favorable weather was, a deterrent
upon the attendance. George Pepper,
Judge Harris and other experienced
horsemen said it was the best field
that has ever been in any western show
ring, and by western they mean any
thing this side of the big eastern shows.
The local entries in brougham and
1runabout classes last night were reye-
'lations There was not contestant in

and then there's the, small but expen,
