formances of the equine aristocrats at
the hcrse show Yesterday were the
handsome gowns worn by women on
tinusiasts, who from the vantage point
of box seat. automobile tonneau or pad
dock watched the blue -blooded animals
90 through their PAGES.
The fact that ii was the last day of
the show brought out capacity au.
dience. The horses themselves ap-
peared to feel the thrill in the atmos-
phere and were plainly on their mettlc.
The boxes were mass of Spring col
ors and the bright ribbons proudly
worn by winning entries added more
vividness TO 1le scene. The supreme
touch of coloring was given. however,
by the brilliant red hunting coats worn
with white riding trousers by Col. VIII
liam Mitchell and other gentlemen:
riders.
Many dogs which accompanied their
owners now and then punctuated an
unusually exciting event with sharp
barks of approval Some Of the dogs
we're themselves prize winners in ken
mel shows.
