The horseshow program last NIGHT
was peerless The cool weather had
put. 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
runabout classes last night were reye-
lations There was not q contestant n
the latter that didn It have a brougham
that was glistening with newness and
cost 81 800 to own. The appointments
add only q little matter of $500 OF SO.
and then there IS the small but expen.
slve details, such as dress livery, cost
ing somethingslike $85, mot to speak OF
essentials in top boots, hats, stocks and
what not. SO one can see the local
rich ones who sent horses into the ring
nightly here have been to%a heavy ex-
pense.@' But the result is magnificent.

forward nicely and bore their company
