The animals were noticeably of high qual- ity and the riders were eminently qualified to show all their good points. The visitors were astonished at the mag- nitude of the enterprise, and many com- pliments were paid to President Frederic C. Stevens and the members of the executive committee, by whose energy and c2aseless efforts the show has been made an event of such important proportions. While the press reception was in progress the jumps In a Box. were placed in position, and many horses showed their ability to take them. Several harness horses were also shown, and a number of society people present added to the attractions. ~ Of course, public observation did not let Prescott Lawrence and Reginald Rives, the well-known New Yorkers, who rejoice in the appellation of the Knickerbocker Twins, escape. They are among the judges, and expressed their surprise at the excellence of the arrangements. Opens at 2 O'Clock. At 2 o'clock the show opened regularly, and a very large crowd was in attendance. Haley's Washington Concert Band raade the air tuneful, beginning with a very striking new march composed by Leader wil A. Haley, entitled ‘Washington Horse Show,” and dedicated to President F. C. Stevens. The display of spring finery in the boxes was very brilliant and added greatly to the attractiveness of the scene. Society, however, is waiting for tonight, when it will shine in all its proper eftul- gence, and the show will be an event notable in the local history of fashionabie functions. There was a great murmur of satisfac- tion when Messrs. Frank M. Ware of New York and W. Fred.

Washingion as a Mobilizing Center. 1) the Editor of The Evening Star: There is a general feeling of dissatisfac- tion among residents, especially the busti- ness portion, over the proposal to mobilize the troops on waiting orders at Norfolk rather than in the District. _ The reasons for this are self-evident. In the -first place, Washington has greater space advantages for accommodating the army, while in ,healthfulnes@ there 1s no comparison. Business men argue that the concentration of volunteers in and around the city will necessarily attract hundreds of strangers, not only among friends of the soldier boys, but those who desire to profit by the sight-seeing advantages as well. An army cf 20,000 to 30,000 men located on ad- vantageous ground about the town would be of enormous finangjal advantage of it- self, incidentally bringing thousands of dol- lars in all branches of business. Besides the troops, Washington is in itself a drawing card to coast-located cities on account of its sheltered position. Besides, the Jarge hotel accommodations could be utilized, when such limited opportunities as afforded by Norfolk would be all inade- quate. : Similar conditions are to be considered in reference to the suserior healthfulness of’ the District, with its magnificent public reservations for tenting the troops in und around the suburbs, thereby avoiding risk of malaria and undue crowding. It would be as well to carefully consider these points, as well as the appropriateness of the selection from a national > before Gefinite action is taken by the War tment. & P. THOMAS: f ‘Over. ‘|N.
