The list Of horses is so long this year that the
MANAGEMENT will be put TO IL 10 find places for all.
in spite OF the large amount OF room at the annex
at Fourth avenue and S2d street and the hope is
that some Of the exhibitors will keep their horses
in their own stables until they called 10 the
ring
gratifying increase is shown in the breeding
classes for trotters For some time in the early
years Of the show. the trotter carried all before
him. and the number shown was about great
that OF all others put together. Year by year
this number has diminished until the really Amer
iean horse was in a great minority
This year however. the breeders appear 20 have
arrived AT the conclusion that II behooved them to
be up and doing. In consequence. instead of the
beggary number Of twenty-seven trotters in all
breeding classes last year there will be this year
sixty-nine, a gratifying increase for those who
favor the light harness horse.
The hackney classes have fallen of trihe from
last year, hut the reason for this is not hard to
find. Robert Beth. the Chestnut Hill Stock Farm
and Henry Irvng's stock farm Will not be repre-
sented, which is more than sufficient TO account
Tor the loss. TIE other owners and breeders have
entered more freely however. and have nearly
made up for the loss
The horses in harness will number about the same
as year ago. and there will be about the same
exhibitors. Although James II. Moore will not Toe

blue ribbons, while William II. Moore. the Wander
bits. Mrs. John Gerken and c. w. Watson Will be
there with the best OF their strings TO their
old rivalry. There will also be some newcomers TO
give them run for first places.

with some new ones which have been showing well

promising animals are tried out every year in
great numbers
Few more tandems than last year will be seen
and about the same number OF four-in- hands. while
the hunters and jumpers are practically the same

lar high jump IS still the list. while there are
all sorts of stunts" for genuine hunters, which
Will put them through their PAGES.
In the special classes there will be some interest
ing contests. In the class for women's horses to a
as year ago, while the class for four-in- hands,
women 10 drive, is better filled than ever. Only two
came into the ring last year. but this time there
will be five.
There is a class for saddle horses which has
nued well that for registered saddlers and of those
in the stud book dozen will try conclusions. An
other interesting class is that for the A B. Macay
