New York, Nov. 17.-With a blare of
trumpets and a flutter of finery, the
New York Horse Show, the event of
the year for patrons of the horse in
ring competition, and the first great
public function of the season for
fashionable society, will open Monday
in Madison Square Garden, and
through the week following the reign
of the horse in the metropolis will be
much the same as in the twenty-one
years of the shows earlier history,
though the management is of the opin-
ion that this years show will beat the
records in interest, exceeding, it is
thought, even the show of last year,
which was the most brilliant one held
in several seasons. Over $4,000 has
been offered in cash prizes. Much
interest is shown in the international
prize of $500 for the best pair to q
mail, demi-mail or Stanhope phaeton,
for which event a number Of entries
have come from abroad. Other inter-
esting classes include the one for the
Waldorf-Astoria cup, which has twice
been won by Judge William H. Moore,
and the one for the National Horse
Show gold cup. which must be won
twice before owned. The first year II
was won by E. D. Jordan, Of Boston,
and last: year by Herbert Moore. -. s.,4
The list of exhibitors announced
includes about all the well.knoWar
names of exhibitors in other shows,
and, though the open-air exhibitions
that have grown in favor In, the past
few years. have taken away some of
the novelty by inducing the owners
of the more prominent animals to
show them before the, fall season in
New York opens, society is none the
less eager to see whether earlier de-
cisfons are verified, while the exhi-
bition holds alt of its old interest for
the general public, whose patronage
has made the fixture the great sue
cess it has been financially. -. =:
AS in past years; the carriage and
harness horses head the premium list,

these breeds. The, supecial classes
will command unusual attention, and
will include many horses suitable for

The primary object Of, the great
show Is, and always has been, the en-
.couragement and breeding of all types
used in life. from the great draught
horse to the lady's pad, the thorough
bred 10 the Shetland. The saddle
hore was never more in evidence
than at the present time, and never
were the claims Of what rightly con-
Stitutes one. in conformation, or of
breeding. so universally sought.
Hence the large saddle classes of the
show will surely attract widespread
attention. The hunters and jumpers
are usually we'll represented, though
the sensational high jumping Is not
the strong card it was in the past.
From the society point Of view the
show promises to be. as successful
as from the viewpoint Of the horse
clover, who attends the show to see
the eQuines and cares little or nothing
for the pretty faces, silks and feath-
ers of the fair spectators. For weeks
past society has been preparing for
the six days display. The capacities
of the most exclusive tailoring and
dressmaking establishments have been
taxed, and many thousands of dollars
have been expended on sartorial crea-
tons that are calculated to make the
common people" stare in amazement
as they walk about the ten-bark way
and look up into the boxes or gaze

seats loftily perched in the topmost
gallery of the big garden-up where
the band plays.
