SEA BIRDS HIGH JUMP

It was nearly Il o'clock last night, when James Hever's wonderful jump CT, Sea Bird, with James Schweiger up, cleared the bar at six feet amid a burst of enthusiasm at the Troop A horse show and everything was over but the shouting, the congratulating of the winning owners and the memory of the first Connecticut indoor horse show, which has been such an undoubted suc- cess.
 lsast nights show was even a bigger success than that of the night before. Society was out in greater numbers, the boxes all being crowded and the gallery and the arena, outside of the ropes, being well filled with equine en- thusiasts. The big events of the show were saved for the second night in most part Among those especially to be mentioned was the high jumping at the end of the program won by Sea Bird, the exhibition of Louis Stoddard's two prize ponies shown to ladies phaeton, and the class for ladies' sad dle horses of 15-1 or oyer which was won by Mrs. G. R. Bunton's Belmont with Mrs. w, K. Townsend.
 The horse exhibited by the police de- partment of the city, the beautiful black gelding so familiar on the streets, General, was given an enthusiastic ovation every time that he appeared with his master, Mounted Officer John L. Enright. He won fourth place, only, however, in the saddle horse class, open for horses suitable for cavalry or po- lice purposes. G. L. Clark of Meriden, gave another pretty exhibition with his brown gelding, Professor.
 Miss Margaret Weyher, the young 1 miss from New York, who made such a hit the night before, was present last evening and rode a number of MT. Greist's mounts very prettiy. She wore a divided skirt of gray material. and black derby. Her hair was worn down her back tied with a big black ribbon, Mrs. Townsend rode well, ap- bearing side saddle.
 On account of the great success this 1 year it has been decided to make the | horse show an annual Troop A event.
 Mrs. Hadley was present in the box of Mrs. Townsend and was the center i of congratulations most of the evening upon her return from Germany with i President Hadlcy the day before. The judging was done. as on the night before, by J. C. Keith of New York
