ready to agree that the twenty-sixth horse
show bids fair to outshine anything which !
has gone before

since the time when they made their ap-
pearance as yearings When the Judges
sent them around the ring to show speed
the little mares outstepped anything in the
class, but Frances was not travelling even

breaks
The blue finally went to that invincible
pair, Lugano and Como. who swept every
thing before them lest year. Edward

everything before him in this class, and
the ever popular Watchful received only
an H c." after season of almost I'M
disputed victories.
Alfred Vanderhilts wonderful ponies Mel
