The second day of the Horse SHOW
the largest affair OF its kind In ths
United States, opened with a sllrht
handicap in the form of weather condl-
tions. The sun was obscured by a heavy
haze and only peeped out on occasion,

uncomfortably hot in contrast with tina
frigid temperature prevailing yesterday.
the program gave promise OF such spec.
tacular things that society turned out in
force. The ingress of spectators was
especially notable after luncheon. The
morning attendance was extremely light,
even for morning session.
The program included a number Of
pony events that were absent yester-
day, and the breeding classes that are
conspicuous by their absence on the In
augural day. Some of the pony innova-
tions were three races run off today on
the polo ring outside the regular ring.
The military classes that were brilliant
attraction yesterday were repeated to-
day. The officers in their gay uniforms
and their splendid riding made an inn
mediate hit with the crowd and their
reappearance today was eagerly antlcl-
pated.
Never before has the Main Line show
had the national significance that Il has
taken on this year. Among the ribbon
winners yesterday we're entries from d.
verse parts of the country and numer-
GUS horses that heretofore had much OF
the prize money and many of the cups
assured for themselves were forced to
stand aside and bow to the superiority Of
importations from pastures new to Phiia-
delphia, at least.
Not that Philadelphia did not carry of
its share of the wins. 1t held up its end
in yeoman fashion. But there was little
OF foregone conclusion as to which entry
would be successful, so many times the
case in previous years. .e
II there is any criticism that could be
made of the present show 1t is that there
are SO many events scheduled that II Is
we'll nigh impossible to run them all on
according 10 the program. Darkness had
fallen yesterday when the last class was
run off-real. true night. with a moon
striving to supply the light that the sun
so gracefully and generously had provid-
ed during the long day. But 1t could not
quite fulfil the task, and as a result the
last class for hunt teams of three from
any one club had to be postponed.
