tive crowd than the opening night
there was a finer class of horses shown
last night at the horse show in the
Essex Troop Armory. There was more
enthusiasm and the scene was a gay
as the Twenty-second Regiment
Band, of New York city, played lively
airs and the high-blooded horses
paraded about the big enclosure.
All h boxes We're filled and the big
building shook with applause as the
opening number vas put on-the ex-
hibition Of the Newark police depart
ment. This display and the $20,0 900
four-in-hand hitch of George Watson
were easily the features last night.
Promptly at s O'Clock six entries from
the city police department had the hon
or of opening the evenings events.
Sergeant Stucky and his men put their
horses through their PAGES, and it is
doubtful whether six finer specimens
for police mounts can be shown by any
department in tho country.
The bay gelding John B., the mount
of Officer Bruins, was finally awarded
the blue, which appeared to be a popu-
lar choice. with Sergeant STICKY placed
second, Ned, ridden by officer McIn-
tyre, third, and Tom, piloted by Officer
McEvry, fourth.
Florham Surprise won the blue il the
class for harness horses 142 and under
1872 hands tall. He was shown by
George Watson, jr. Many We're of the
opinion that Mary Cary, owned and
driven by Mrs. julius S. Walsh, jr.,
had him beaten right up to the time the
awards were made, but the brown
mare was placed second. Lady of
Fashion third and Sporting Duchess
fourth. Billie, a bay gelding, owned
by Charles l.. Thurston, and shown in
this class, proved a bad actor and
kicked himself away from the wagon,
and one of the ring men narrowly es-
capped serious injury in attempting to
subdue him.
Class 25, for saddle horses, brought
out seven competitors. The judges
welded this outfit down to four beau
tiful types, and after half an hours de-
liberation awarded the blue to Tonia,
a handsome chestnut mare owned by
Andrew Morrison, of New York city,
and ridden by Belle Beach Bane. Rosa
lind, owned and ridden by Mrs. w. A.
McGibbon, vas placed second; Watch
full third, and Zulal, owned and ridden
by Mrs. Thomas J. Regain. fourth. BY
way of diversion the latter ran over a
groom before leaving the ring, but be-
yond a thorough shaking up vas UNI
hurt.
