The same audience thrilled to the
spectacle Of what might we'll have
been termed the Capitals first formal
horse show. Top hats and white ties,
evening gowns and gold braid virtually
flled the stands, while many partic-
ipants donned formal hunting attire
for the occasion. a sharp contrast to
the usual picture of spectators and

Competitive Spirit Rules.

THE perfect appointments and all
the spectacular features Of the
display at Los Angeles in 1882 and
Berlin in 1896 might be lacking; but
the last persons In the world who
care about this are the athletes. Pomp
and circumstance and tiled shower
baths and all gadgets of the sort are
very we'll; but the primary interest Of
the young stalwarts who provide the
competitive features of these inter-
national meetings is the opportunity
Of going to far-flung places and pit
ting their skill and stamina and cour-
age against opponents Of various
