FINE HORSES ON SHOW.
Brooklyn Riding and Driving Club Holds
Successful Exhibition.

A successful little house show was held
in Brooklyn last night by the members OF
, the Riding and Driving Club. New Workers
who took the trip across the bridge. and q
number Of those present we're from Man
haitian, were bound TO admit that New York
has not a monopoly OF fine horses nor fair
horsewomen.
The classes were all extremely well filed
making the task OF judging the horses no
easy one and keening some OF the entries
in the ring for more than an hour. 1t was
announced that Louis +. Waring would act
as sole judge in all the classes. but Alfred
b. Maci7y appeared to act In that capacity
in the harness classes leaving the saddle
horses and hunters to be placed by Mr..
Waring.
The show opened with the class for
single harness horses under 1871 hands.
