PAGEANT BETTER STAGED

There was a close race last night at
Durland's to decide which was the most
spectacular feature Of the spring Horse
Show and the second night crowd had
difficulty in awarding the theoretical
blue. Four in hands danced and pranced
around the small arena and provided 10
many changes OF color and action that
pageant which purports to he the novelty
and sensation Of the present show. The
pageant was better staged and moved
through its dignifed course more
smoothly thar on Wednesday. The cos
tunes we're the same picturesque re-
productions Of equestrian apparel from
the time Of the Dutch occupancy of Man
haitian, but they were shown on more
efectually by studied posing and clever
eaiting of the equine accompaniment
As for the fours. four OF these equi-
pages. consisting OF park drags or
coaches. made quite a crowd In the small
ring. The skill of the drivers was taxed
to show off the PAGES Of the handsome
animals and Il may be taken for granted
that whips as well as horses longed FOR

way In exchange for the crampcd quar-
tiers at Durland's. Maurice Hewlett
seemed to rise superior to all obstacles
and his handling OF the k~nickerbockcr
four was loudly applauded. lie skinned
the corners and turned curlycues in a
bewildering manner once shaving the
corner of the Judges box. but so neatly
as no. to disturb the silver cups that
awaited the successful contestants.
The driving OF the noted whip was not
sufficient to offset the intrinsic merits
of the -four sent into .he ring by j.
