Higher Class.

dagneT CLASS
The twenty-third annual exhibition OF the Ma
tional Horse Show Association. which opens IN
Madison Square Garden at 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning, promises 70 be more interesting than
any OF the earlier shows. This is due IN part
to the fact that although fewer horses have been
entered than were brought out on the tannark
last year. the entries are confined almost entire
ly to possible prize winners As critic
pressed IL: This year 1t Is horseman's show
and the high grade OF the entries win make II a
delight from start To fnish'
Another feature is that IN the Garden this
year may be cOntrasted the winners OF the sum-
mer shows. These Out-of-d doors exhibitions have
been increasing steadily. but few Of the horses
which failed TO get prizes from the summer
judges are entered ar the big New York show.
This eliminates the animals that otherwise
would take up time without much chance OF
getting even a red ribbon
All the boxes were not sold at the annual auc-
tlon-somethinS that had not occurred before in
many years-but the sale OF seats has been a.
heavy as for other exhibitions. and the prospects
are that the boxes. TOO. will be filed tomorrow
night.
Changes In the classification OF the horses vary
little with each show. but the majority Of the
classes have settled down 20 a standard and Will
De round from year to year the in every
respect so that breeders and owners now know
Just what is expected Of their horses and they
no longer go blndIy into the show with a pet
horse. expecting 10 carry off the prize because
the animal has been greatly admired They

changes at every show. and that of this year "a
no exception to the rule. Chief among the new
