Weather Conditions Were Ideal and the Attendance Was
 Very Large
ALL RINGS LAST NIGHT
 WERE MOST EXCELLENT
Programme for Tonight Will Bring Out Some Fine Horses, and h. dcations Are That Attend
 ance Will Be Large,

ance Will Be Large. From every point of view the horse show last night was better than on the | opening night. The attendance was three
 or four times as large, the weather was ideal and the rings were of a high class There were hundreds of people in the reserved seats and other portions of the grandstand, and nearly every box was oe-
 cupied by society folk. which turned out
 in full force. With continued weather.
 such as that of last night the attendance and interest at the horse show should in- 1 crease materially.
 One of the most interesting events III
 the rnge of entire horse show occurred last night in the clas for lady drivers which was won by Mrs Henry B. Gray,
 drying Maj. J N. Brooks team of 3-year-
 olds, one of the most spirited pairs on the | grounds It was the first time that Mrs. l Gray has ever driven a pair in harness,
 and the judges complimented her very much on the manner in which she handled the two stylish horses. She was ap- l plauded time and again as she drove I around the ring.
 One of the finest sights was the four
 stalioas shown in the coach class. The
 animals were all the property of j.. Crouch & Son. and they were animals that would take prizes at any horse l show in the southern states. and at many shows in any part of this country. l Kopp's military band rendered a splen- | did programme. The people responded
 liberally with applause after each piece
 was played. The programme for tonight
 has been selected with special care, and
 is said to be one of the best of the entire ! week.
 1 The classes to be shown in the ring to- | night are also considered among the best,
 ana it seems probable that with good
 weather today the attendance will be by I far the largest of the three nights. Following were the results last night: 1 Class 9.-Trotting bred mare any age, in
