- iaNOTlng IL In the nome run. Last
night the audience was large; there was
stand clapped their hands together in
real enthusiasm, and now and then sent
9 wave OF honest applause ringing to
the rafters. The show was one of ex-
traordinary merit, and the driving in
the ladies' classes nothing short of
sensational.
The feature Of the evening was the
tilt between St. Paul and Minneapolis
women for the Judges approval, with
honors about even. The St. Paul ex-
hibitor, Mrs: Milton: got, two ribbons,
each. The judges had very hard time
OF it, however, in every class, for COM
petition offered very short margin for
precedence. and it was a case Of incest
discrimination. ',i@s
Park Horses First. i
The opening class was for park
horses, any size; Four responded. The
beautiful Creightons, driven by. Car
President, and Mr.. Peavey,s man send
ing around Flashight and Searchlight.
This pair looked especially fit last
night, groomed to a hair, beautifully
fitted, stepping around the ring with
the clean, breedy quality Of the trot-
tlng-bred progeny impossible to dupli-
cate in any other known type. Honor
Bright and President did not settle
down to work, and went unevenly,
altho this is a. pair of virile power and
splendid full, rounded pattern. Every
body's heart went out to Mr.. Hack
show such pronounced characteristics
as the dealers pairs, nor such speed as
matched, nice-stepping, mannerly horses
for park use. They were flash without
being vulgar, and wore themselves in
upright fashion without looking drawn
up too hard on the bit. But the judges
had seen the possibilities of the Muir
ray pair, and tied the ribbon there,
giving the Creightons the red and the
Peavey pair the yellow. Murray's
could do until getting the ribbon, when
they flashed around there in chin hitting
style and formidable fold Of hooks.
The class called for high stepping The
other two were not quite SO keen on
the work. - RI
Combination horses, shown in harness
and saddle, were next called. Most Of
them were shown in road wagons, which
did not bring out the horses as they
deserved, as the horses dwarfed the
wagon. this being especially true of
Jack o. Diamonds, whose speeding cart
was especially delicate. Helen Walker,
Thornton Star, Paddy G. and Artist
King made turns in harness. Mr.. Car

spirits the other night being localized
as two bad bruises under his saddle,
which sent him kicking into the air
every time the saddle hit him. Chalm-
ers Pierce, his owner, Of Chicago, was
Wofully disappointed because Of the
accident. Last night Paddy made a
splendid showing, getting third to Star,
hrst, and Jack, second, and beating
Helen Walker, who once or twice when
she, relaxed her pretty head and neck
and sci. them naturally, showed tie ele-
ment OF true fineness. The game little
mare went unnoticed, however. N@t>

Mrs. Laramee drove with an aplomb

Little Miss ,Semple's mare baked a
pit. and she could not straighten her
out. at once owing to the lash Of her
whip catching in her canopy top; but
the little maiden gave such a taking

Mrs. CARING won first honors, Mrs.
Milton second, while Miss Semple cap

class Of the evening.
j. M. Hackney had new geld
ing, in a bay Of wonderful front, and
neck. He was more Of stepping type
than for road use, consequently did
not get remembered. George Rogers
Punch showed tendency to wear his
head to one side, Joseph Jockey had
in an imposing black mare in Molly T.,
with full dock and fair speed. John
Foley's June Bug looked to be in the
ribbons and made nice impression.
Mr.. Peavey's Searchlight broke badly
once or twice, as did Starlight, before
coming into his fast SUSTAINED speed.
but nary break did Jack Of Clubs make
the way the gelding put his heart in

weighed him long with Starlight, who
was long on speed and fit conformation
for the part, but Jack put Star to secs
