The pick of California’s best horses of all classes will be on exhibition. Breeders and horse-owners have gathered from all | over the State to learn what horses are demanded and to learn to what standards they should breed to sell. They will not bother themselves very much about the show of bea and fashion in the evening. But thete be none who arein the swim absent. The preparations in the way of gowns have occupied many a dresspyaker and modiste for weeks. They say that never before have they had so much to do. Quite a number of swagger gowns have been imported from Paris, and the New York fashion papers describing | know that the horse show is a concentra- | i tion of the best animals in the State. | Breeders come here to learn and they do | learn a great deal about what standards they should breed in order to obtain a | | market for their animals. [Then it does | | more than anything else could do toedu- { cate the people up to how to buy horses | for different purposes. | “I am thaukful that there is sucha band | | of men to encourage it and glad that the | show is going to be such a success. I tell | you I am simply overjoyed at the result.” | Aithough the show lasts aday longer than it did last year, owing to the in- | creased amount of work for the judges, | the programme is crowded. This morning | will be devoted to practice. At 2 o’clock | in the afternoon will be the first eventon | the programme of the show, a parade of | all draught horses.

BOXES FOR THE 1 sadly disappointed when the New York judges get to work. There are a great many things that are not good form in New York that have been thought just the thing here. For instance, for a saddle horse to single-foot is fatal. To be sure, New York allowed single-footing for nine years, but they have discarded the com- fortable if not graceful pace, and that, of course, must settle the matter for San Francisco. Then there are lots of other wrinkles that nobody but the judges from the East know of that will prevent horses from winning prizes. » During the morning and afternoon the horses will be the sole attraction, but in the evening they will have to compete for attention with the show of beauty in the boxes. The arrangement of the stables is admira- ble. They are so arranged that the people can examine all the horses in their stalls both day and evening, for at might they will be brilliantly lighted up. And there are horses for all, little tots as well as grown people. For the youngsters there are A. W. Fos- ter's dozen Hunganan ponies not much larger than big Newfoundlands. They ara all colored a beautiful dark chestnut brown with long silver-white manes and tails, and look like pictures out of .children’s story-books. Little Duchess weighs only 370 pounds and is as gentle, dainty and pretty a pony as could be wished. Then there are the sturdy Shetland ponies of the Kern County Land Compaay, and Miss Lurline Spreckels’ Topsy with her mite of a shaggy colt. As a contrast to these are the great Clydesdaies and Normans. Of these Points- man Jr., George W. McNear’s Clydesdale from Petaluma, is the biggest horse in the show, weighing 2300 pounds. Then there are the thoroughbreds from most of the well-known stables in the State to interest the racing peo-' ple and all who care for fast horses. Hobart, Joe Grant, John Parrott, Tslbot Clifton and the Burlingame Club and the others who have entered swell turnouts take up a great deal of space with their four-in-hand, tandem and union
