THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1896. chiffons, embroideries, rare laces beyond price and yellow with age, rustling silks and furs, martin, sable, mink, ermine, little heads with shining jeweled eyes and long,soit or bristling tails were among the many accessories that went to make the toilets of the gorgeously gowned multi- tude at the horse show. There were all styles and conditions of gowns from the | severe yet elezant street dress to the swell {ull evening or reception gown. Jewels were worn in abundance. Dia- | monds flashed in tiny ears and even glit- | tered on corsages or the heart of a rose on some sweil bonnet. there were none. a tiny V to lay rounded throat. The hats and bonnets were as different | as it is possible for bonmnets and hats to be | and still permit the fashionable modiste | to feel entitled to a reasonable amount of | self-respect, No rules governed the wearers. Matrons | wore hats or bonnets, as taste or inclina- tion prompted, and the buds and belles | adopted the same satisfactory rules. in | the promenades the gay bright gowns were hid unaer the folds of rich mantels ! of vervet, with jeweled or jet trimmings or | saole, mink or ermine caps, embellished | with various heads and tails. | Below will be found a review of a few of the many handsome gowns worn by so- | ciety’s representatives at the show. | Mrs. Walter Hobart looked pale but very beautiful in & gray satin gown the coreage of which was a!most completely - shrouded with point d’esprit, edged with atiny black lace.

A field of twelve competed for three prizes, the entries being as follows: David Crock- ett, roan gelding, 15.3, 6 years, exhibited by Charles Goodall; Haunaui, black mare, | 16, 4 years, exhibiied by Mrs. Fannil - Lent, Dorothz, bay mare, 15.214, ex:.ibited | by Henry J.

The contest for first place almost from the outset was between. Huntress and Gypsy Queen. The formeris a beautiful and spirited animal and Ler action, as she gracefully encircled the ring, was uni- versaliy admired and applauded- J. Rockett, who enjoyed the honor of riding admirably and looked proud indeed when the much- coveted blue ribbon was attached to the gloss y neck of his valuable charge. Mr. Pope’s Gypsy Queen, a scarcely less beautiiul black mare, sired by Profit Wilkes, won t.e second prize, with Dr. Payne’s Bintram third and H. J. Crock- er’s Dorothy fourth. The judges of this event were Messrs. R. Van Brunt and Richard F. Carman. Class 34 followed the above, under which head were exhibited ladies’ horses, 14.1 to 15 hands, shown be:ore carriages suitable for a lady to drive. The entries were as follows, two being allotted to each team: Ned, brown gelding, 15.04, and Jim, brown | gelding, 15.0%, ex- nibited by Henry T. Scott; Jeffe, bay gelding, 14.1, five years, and Wow, brown mare, 14.2}4, four years, exhibited by Mrs. Frank H.

Pope; Pride, bay gelding, .15, five year, and Prejudice, bay gelding, 15, 5 years, exiiibited by W. 8. Hobart. There was not one among the foregoing turnouts that did not deserve commendation and the judges—Messrs. R. W. R.ves and R. F. Carman—were con- scientiousiy able to award a prize to each. As usual Mr. Hobart, secured a first with Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Pove’s Romulus and Remus came second, W. T. Scott’s Ned and Jim third, and Mrs, Burke’s Jefte and Wow fourth. . The display of carriage horses under class 48, specialiy designed for horses bred on the Pacific Coast, was among the most interesting events of “the evening ana gerved to show to splendid advantage the magnificent quality of California horse- flesh miore particularly. The entries, however, were compara- tively few. Henry J. Crocker himself drove his bay mare Dcrothy and a ripple of applause ran around the Pavilion as he entered the inclosure. The other entries were Crocker’s Prince, a five-year-old geld- ing, and E. D. McSweeney's bay geldiny, Baldy. Prizes were awarded as follows: Mr Crocker’s bay. mare Dorothy first, the same gentleman’'s Prince second and Mr. McSweeney’s Baldy third. The judges were R. W. Rives and R. F.

The entries were: Dandy, bay elding, 16, 8 years, exhibited by John Parrott, San Matgo; Edie, gray mare, 15.2, 7 years, exhibited by F. H. Burke, La Siesta Ranch; Sweetheart, bay mare, 15.3%, 6 years, exhibited by George A, Pope; Peacock, gray geiding, 15.2, exhibited by . 8.

Ho- bart; Fred, bay gelding, 16.2, six years, exhibited by Charles F. Hanlon. Mr. Ho- bart himself arove Madison Square, but first - prize winner the proved to be bis brown gelding Paragon, which had a formidablerivalin Mr. Pope’s bay mare Sweetheart, the latter being second. The other prize-winners were Mr. Ho- bart’s Czar, third, acd his gray gelding, The juages were as before. One of the greatest displays of theday and probably of the entire show came under the head of class 57, for four-in-hand road teams shown before coach or body- break. The hero of the hour was undoubtedly H. J. Crocker, who drove behind Edwin, Edgar, Prince and Dorothy. It would be difficult to imagine a finer spectacle in its way than that presented by this superb turnout. Everything was complete down to the smallest details, even to the two im- ported grooms—if they are no more than a detail—who sat in the rear of the coach and from that point of vantage viewed the proceedings with Anglo-Saxon stolidity, Chartes A. Baldwin's Rauth, Demon, Downey and His Lordship followed the above for second place, with J. D. Grant's Music, Minstrel, Myrtle and Madre third, and an unnamed four-in-hand, entered by Mr. Hobart and composed of three bay geldings and one gray ditto, fourth. Mr. Hobart was not so successful in this class as heretofore, and another four-in- hand of his, which also particiated, was not heard of when the judges made their awards, Last, but by no means least on the pro- gramme was the display of jumpers under class 81. This was entirely the most ex- citing feature of the evening, the element of danger, inseparable therefrom, adading zest to the spectacle. The first competitor to put in an appearance was Mr. Hobart’s microscopical Welsh pony Tadpole, ridden by analmost equally diminutive jockey known as *Bobby” Idal, a ciever young horseman employed by Mr. Hobart to ex- ercise his horses. Tadpole isscarcely 10 hands high, and is probably without a duplicate in Cali- fornia. His debut was the signal for eyery lady in the Pavilion to rise in her seat, and the customary feminine expressions of admiration were heard on all sides. But, though microscopical, Tadpole was game, and he wentfor his first hurdle with more valor than discretion, the result being a spill for both rider and pony. He did better the next time, however, and after a very interesting exhibition of rapid cantering retired amid enthusiastic applause. The more serious portion of the entertainment followed, a field of twelve competing for three prizes. W. Wirthle’s Bution made the first attempt, and did fairiy well. W. D. Randall's Iaaho Chief, a handsome bay stallion, was ridden by Hermann Mass, who is ac- counted cne of the best horsemen in . the State. : This fact, however, did not save him from a nasty spill, which might have re- ‘sulted seriously. As 1t was he escaped with a severe shaking. Nothing daunted by this failure, he pluckily repeated the atterapt and cleared the bar without touch- ing., Charles A. Neave rode his brown gelding Bobs, a 15.2)4, six-year-old, and o | Proved that his mount was not afraid of the hurdles. But Mr. Hobart in person was once again the hero of the occasion. His first jump on Royalty nearly re- sulted in a tumble, but his succeeding efforts on his bay mare, Huntress, and his bay gelding, Merry Boy, ‘were excel- lent exhibitions of horsemanship. The brown gelding, Blairneart, of blue- blooded English ancestry, made his second appearance during the day. The prize-winners were us follows: Hobart’s Huntress, Hobart’s Merry Boy, Wirthle's Button and Neave’s Bobs.

HER MARRIED LIFE PROVED A FAILURE Marion Trumpour Asks the Courts to Grant Her a Divorce. Alleges That Her Husband Abused and Neglected to Provide for Her. Says He Called Her a Snake in the Grass—Prays for the Custody of Her Children. J. P. Trumpour, a prominent dentist, having offices on Mission street, near Twenty-third, is being sued for divorce, his wile alleging as cause that herself and babies have been left to suffer through his unkindness and penurious disposition. She has placed the case in the hands of Thomas Lennon and Joseph K. Hawkins, attorneys-at-law, and they will commence proceedings on the ground of cruelty. A complaint was filed against Mr. Trum- pour yesterday. The suit promises to be quite sensational in many of its details. Mrs. Trumpour opens her allegations against her husband by stating that, dur- ing the month of August, 1896, while she was confined to her bed through illness in her home, 2502 Howard street, her hus- baund, in the presence of friends and her minor children, called her opprobrious and indecent names. Among the expressions were, ‘‘A snake in the grass” and *‘A hound,” each pre- ced ed by an unnamable adjective. She also alleges, in connection with the above incident, that during her illness, while she and her three children were in need of the common necessaries of life, her husband, whom she believes has an income of $300 a month, refused to pay the rent of his residence, or to buy food and medicine for nis family. ‘The most inhuman act cited in the legal papers is alleged to have occurred-on Thanksgiving day, 1896. It is charged that the defendant left his home a few days prior to the holiday and his family was left destitute. Mr. Trompour, ac- cording to the complaint, met one of his children on the street and prevailed upon her to carry a package of provisions to the bhome he had deserted. i Mrs. Trumpour believes thatthe act was a malicious rather than a kindly one, as the parcel contained a dime in silver, half a pound of tea, half a pound of cofiee and a roll of butter. After stating in the complaint that she does not believe her husband to be a fit and proper person to have the care of her children, and asking for their custody, Mrs. Trumpour prays that an order re- straining her husband from selling the household furniture be issued. She states that she believes he wiil do so if not prevented by order of court, and is also fearful that he will forcibly take pos- ession of her children. The couple were married in March, 1880, Mrs. Silk’s Personal Injuries. Mrs. Ellen Silk, by her attorneys, Sullivan & Suilivan, has sued the Market-street Railway Company for $20,000 for personal injuries. She sets forth that on the 15th of last Septem- ber, while attempting to alight froma car be- Jonging to the company, at the corner of Mis sion street and Precita’ avenue, the car was started forwara suddenly, throwing her vio- lently to the ground, causing daugerous, pain- ful and permanent injuries to her spine aud nervous system. She thinks she will need $20,000 to compensete her for the damages sustained. —————— The Sealy Ant-Eater. An animal made of tinpla e, of theshape of an elongated fir cone, about three feet in length, which cracklies and rustles with every movement, is one of the latest ac- guisitions of the Zoological Society of Lon- don. Its name is the pangolin, or scaly ant-eater, and it belongs to the same family group as the armadillo and platy- pus, It has excited great atiention at the “Zoo,” for it is—if we are correctly in- formed—the first animal of the kind which has been exhibited there. Itshome is where the termites, or white ants, are found; for the animal feeds on these de- structive creatures and possesses claws which are designed to break down their stronghotds. The claws are also necessary for burrowing in the ground, for the pan- golin excavates a cave for himself and his mate eight feet or so beiow the surface of the earth, and in this strange home one or two ycung are produced every vear. The pangolin at present at the “'Zoo” is fed upon ants and their eges and also ex- hibits a partislity tor cockroaches scalded in milk. The scales with which its body is covered are hard and sharp as steel and it can give a terribly cutting blow with its powerful tail. It canroll its body upintoa ball like a hedgehog when 1t so wills,.—Pub- lic Opinion.
