Horses.
 The second exhibition of the horse show was held last night with even ! more enthusiasm than was manifested on the opening of the event. An at tractive programme of eight classes, with full rings in each class, made the show a brilliant performance. The en- tries last night were more numerous than on the opening evening and this contributed a great deal to the show.
 Possibly the best event of the even- ing was the ladies' class. The horses were driven to single buggies by ladies accompanied by gentlemen. There were nine entries in this class, and it was in deed a most attractive one. Mrs. w. II. Jones won the first premium, and Mrs. Trousdale and Mrs. Anderson the second and third prizes.
 1 The combination class, buggy and saddle, was also another popular class. The horses were shown in harness to | single buggies and then in saddle, with their drivers mounted. There were l R. M. Williams of Macon won the first 1 premium Gus SoWell won the second, and J. P. McLehdon the third prize. 1 An extra event, which also proved a very attractive one, was the cham pion pony, Porto Rico, driven by R. M. Williams, Jr. The pony was driven in saddle at half a dozen gaits, and in each he acted with all of the grace and manners of the much older horses.
 The style, manners, conformation and action in all of the classes on the programme last night were excellent. Several very fine foreign horses were shown, among which handsome black horse driven by R. M. Williams was a favorite.
 The crowd last night was a good deal larger than was the case on the first night. Every box available was filed and the greater portion Of the reserved and general admission seats were occupied.
