ed ribbons, paraded the principal streets
OF the city TO finish at the Horse Show
Park where the animals pranced around
the track in manner which showed
they appreciated the honor bestowed
upon them.
The object OF observing Horse Day
in this city was TO further interest in
the purse and matinee racing of the
Horse Show Association. That this was
accomplished was the opinion of all, es.
peclally when 200 horsemen from this
sity and Philadelphia gathered around
The banquet tables at the Hotel DUPONT
n the evening and made merry.
The parade, which was held in the al
lernoon. was divided in four sections.
J. Writ Willis was chief marshal and
the horses participating came in this
order: First, matinee horses DIR. II. +.
Ewes, marshal; then the road horses,
double teams were next, J. II. Gould,
marshall followed by saddlers and
hunters, Or. J. r.. Kuhns, marshal;
then the show horses and last came
the draft and general purpose horses,
Dr. J. r. Mahaily.
The parade was headed by
squad of the Wilmington po-
lice force and band in carriages.
Thousands of people lined the side
walks along the route of the parade,
aud they were by no means disap-
pointed. for never has there been
seen such a collection of finely bred
horses. This fact is attested to by
DR.. Megill, a well-known veterinary
surgeon Of Philadelphia, and AL
Saunders, the big stake promoter, al
so of Philadelphia, who both made
the statement "that they never saw
a higher class lot of horses shown
at one time"

pearance Of Bill William and number

Never before in the history OF Della
ware had the horse been so honored. II
was expected to have at least 20'
horses in line, and when the parad
formed with just 6T5 horses ready q
parade the committee was astonished a.
the results of their own efforts. AS TN
parade passed up Market street througl
two solid lines of humanity, many taV
orable comments were made.
While the parade was full of inter
cat the finish at the park was evel
