EQUINE BEAUTIES AGAIN PARADE They Fill the Bill a Second Day at the Horse Show. SOCIETY PATRONIZES THE EVENT. The Pavilion Is Well Filled With Fashionables at Night. NOVEL SPECTACLES PRESENTED IN THE RING A Few Leading Horsemen Carry Off Most of the Prizas in Various Classes. Success marked the second day of the horse show. Style and blood told so far as the noble animals were concerned, and that meant general superiority. in full force, thou more subdued colors. Everybody who leans toware find horses raid the Pavilion a visit, and everytbody, | 100, was satisfied. And to make the mat- | ter certain it is only necessary to quote the expressions of those competent to | judge of the merits of the display: “It| was a grand showing of what California | has in the way of country gentlemen’s | The ring never dragged from early’ With regard to the | sbow itself—it was a stylish event on its | second day” The fashionables were there | h in perhaps a trifle | morning till late at night. All the time | save a briéf respite at noon and again at 6 o'clock one class of equine aristocrats foi- | lowed another in review. The judges en- | deavored to do their best in deciding the | many nice points, ana there was no | grumbling over their numerous decisions. | Before the show opened yesierday morn- ing the ring was filled with all classes of | horses that did not then appear for mere display. The prize beauties were simply taking their morning walk after breakfast. It was evident that they felt in good spirits, | for they danced and champed their bits, and their neighing filled the air with | equine eloquence. Two early hours were | given over to the proud steeds, and then the ring assumed a formal aspect, with judges and officials in the middle and a | small crowd of horse-admirers on the out- | side. But this was as early as10:30 o’clock, when only those specially interested would | attend. | The first event was the judging of two | Norman stallions, 4 years old, in class 91; | two Norman stallions, 2 years oid, in i class 93; one Clydesdale mare in class 107, and three draft horses in class 89a. | An immense Clydesdale mare was the first to enter the ring at the sound of the tally-ho. She is a heavy brown creature, | the bay mare Margaret, belonging to | Pierce Bros. of Santa Rosa. She was fol- | lowed by three of the Norman variety of | drafthorses, Frank Lane’s Buffalo Bill, a | magnificent black stallion, and Joseph | Blondin’s Adolph and Sultan. Buffalo | Bill and Sultan carried off the blue rib- | bon in their respective classes. In class 894, best draft horses weigh- | ing over 1500 pounds, shown to harness | and wagon, the dun gelding Prince, be- longing to McNab & nith, took the biue | ribbon.. He w 1908 pounds and is said to be the heaviest horse in the show. A gray gelding, also belonging to McNab & Smith, got the red ribbon, or second vrize; and W. F. Laumeister's bay horse | received the white ribbon, or third prize. Promptly at 11 A. M. the contest was | among trotters of the driving class. All horses entered in this class were of the required standard, and judged by their ace, color, conformation, way of going and the meanner of their shoeing and bitting. Their records did not govern in any other class. They were shown to harness and wagon, and confined to stallion, mare or gelding, three years old or over, with a recora of 2:30 or better. The herses en- tered were: J. P. Dunn’s Hailstorm, Mrs. F. H. Burke's Jeife, A. B. Spreckels’ Prince Dexter, A. M. McDonald's Caryle Carne, W. 8. Hobart's Hazel, Wilkes and Mattie Merrill, and H. E. Wise’s Madera. Mr. Hobart’s Hazel Wilkes, one of last year’s blue ribbons, carried off the first prize again, much to the satisfaction of the spectators, who applanded loudly. Mr. Spreckels’ Prince Dexter took the second prise; Mr. McDonald’s gray gelding, Caryle Carne, third prize, and Mrs. Burke's Jeffe was highly commended. In class 42 eight pairs of horses were exhibited. They were under the rules 15 hands 2 inches and over, suitable for town work in a brougham, victoria or landav. The pair taking first prize in this class was shut out from a prize in classes 37 and 40. W. 8. Hobart was out again with The Brilliant Scene at the Pavilion Last Night. > ~ with well-matched action and style. The horses entered were John Parrott’s Dandy | and Flora, Henry J. Crocker's Edwin and | Edgar, George A. Pope’s Sweetheart ana | Surprise, and Arlington and Arsenal. | Walter Hobart had four couples—Feacock and Paragon, Damrosch and Seidi, Mon- arch and Performer, the Ogar and the Sultan, All were harnessed to very handsome rigs, some of them with swell footmen | and coachmen in green and white livery. W. S. Hobart’s pair of bay geldings, Dam- rosch and Seidi, took the first prize; George A. Pope’s Sweetheart and Surpise took the second prize; W. S. Hobart’s bay geldings, the Czar and the Sultan, third prize, and Henry J. Crocker’s pair of chest- nut geldings, Edwin and Edgar, were hichly commended. The last event of the morring was judg- ing two standard-bred three-year-old stal- lions (trotters), class 6; four standard-brea two-year-old stallions (trotters), class 7; \cln:u 8; five standard-bred two-year-old bred yearlings (trotters), class 10. in the judging of two standard-bred three-year- old trotting stallions Wild Nutling, be- longing to William H. Vioget of Law- rence, Cal., took the first prize, and Frank H. Burke’s Willeroo took the second prize. Among two-year-old trotting stailions, John F. Boyd’s Owyhee {ook the first prize, George H. Roe’s Voltum the second and William H. Vioget's J H C the third. Among three-year-old mares, Ione, the brown mare belonging to John F. Boyd of | three standard-bred brood mares (trotters), | fillies (trotters), class 9, and five standard- | Oakwood Park, to‘k the first prize, Pierce Brothers’ Lily Stanley the %econd and their Silver Eye the third. Among the two-year-old fillies, Jobn F. Bovd’s Oak- wood Belle took the first prize, John Green's Directina the second and W. H. Campbell Jr.’s Nellie Campbell the third. The brown colt Stanley, belonging to Pierce Brothers of the Santa Rosa stock farm, received the first prize, Mrs. Maudie Agnew’s chestnut filly Trilby the second prize and Pierce Brothers’ bay filly Dolly D the third pri GOOD FORM IN THE AFTERNOON’S SHOW. There was a fair attendance in the after- noon, particularly in the boxes, which were largely filled with young folk from society’s ran The exhibition in the ring lacked nothing from a purely spec- tacular point of view, and as a display of Califorma equine stock it was decidedly interesting to horsemen and gentlemen who admire fine rigs. Five pairs of roadsters entered the ring to lead the variable procession of the after- noon. These were in class 15, for pairs of mares or geldings, or mare and gelding, three years old or over, and shown to har- ness or wagon. The horses entered were John C. Kirk- patrick’s black mares, Azalia and Flewy- flewy ; Frank H. Burke’s Rossie Moore and Wand, graceful bays; A. B. Spreckels’ Grove A and Al S, two handsome bays; J. ‘W. Martin’s Daisy and Kitty, a pair that came from Nashville and were excellently his park wheelers, high-stepping beauties . UNRULY _FOUR IN HAND The Humorous Side of the Hors: Show. ~ THE HORSE LAUGH IN FULL BLAST. <o X = Z HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1896. ANV LAY % matched but lacking in style on the new standard; also W. 8. Hobart’s Hazel Wilkes and Mattie Merrill. Not one of these spirited steeds had bobbed tails or cropped manes, and they came nearer the American ideal than any other set seen in the ring yesterday. Hobaris team won the blue ribbon. Spreckels’ pair was a close second, Kirkpatrick’s got third prize and Burke's were highly com- menced. Melyille Schweitzer had class 19 all to | himself for a pair, any age. He drove his splendid bays, Aleck and Archie, and of course won first prize, which the quality and dash of the team fully justified. The next display was class 69, for ladies’ saddlehorses, not under 14 hands3inches, and four years old or over. The entries in this class had to be ridden by ladies. The seven horses entered included Red- wood, owned and ridden by Miss Eva | Coryell of this city; Stella, exhibited by | John Parrott; Sintram, by Dr. Maxwell | Payne; Gypsy Queen, by George A. Pope; | Maggie, by J. J. Moore, and Huntress and Merry Boy, by Walter 8. Hobart. Mrs. Farnsworth rode three or four of the horses, which she showed off to ad- Evanmge. Parrott’s chestnut mare Stella | had action, form and general gracefulness |in more generous proportion than the others and got first prize. Miss Coryell received applause when tne red ribbon was tied to the bridle of her chestnut horse, for she had won the admiration of horse was a beauty, if a littie lighter than the first-orize winner. Hobart’s Huntress, from which much was expected, won third prize, sithough several horsemen in the promenade had picked her outfora higher | place. Pope’s Gypsy Queen, a beautiful plack mare, was highly commended. Out of the nine horses entered in the next class, 41, but six were exhibited, as Walter Hobart withheld his Paragon and Monarch, and George A, Pope his chest- nut, Arlington. This class was for mares or geldings, 15 Lands 2inches and over, suitable for townwork in a brougham orvic- toria, but the horse taking first prize in it was debarred from a prize in classes 35, 36 and 39, which reservation had the effect of keeping out some of the best. The horses shown were Dandy, John Parrott; Edwin, Henry J. Crocker; Sur- prise, George A. Pope; Peacock, Madison Square and Czar, Walter S. Hobart. Peacock was driven by Hobart, and at- tracted considerable attention; but this prize-winner at former shows was out of place, fine as he lovked—a fact worthy of recording when it is remembered that one of the dashing ycung horseman’s last importations from New York took first prize, even though in a skeleton cart and driven by a coachman. Madison Square, a bay beauty, won first prize. The Czar, driven by Mr. Kemp of New York, got second prize, Surprise came in third place and Peacock was highly commended. The extravagant knee and hock action of Czar was seen to advantage in this event, which ranked him as a blue-blooded high- stepper. In class 49, pairs of horses 15 hands 2 inches and over were judged, but none of them had previously won a first prize. In addition to the prizes there was a special silver cup offered by George A. Pope. Henry J. Crocker was here given an op- portunity of showing off some of his fine stock of wheelers. Three pairs were en- tered. Crocker's bays, Dorothy and Prince, in a four-wheel cart, got first prize and the cup, and Fred and Eleanor, hand- some chestnuts, which appeared to be their owner’s choice, got the second ribbon. Ira Barker Daiziel of 605 Golden Gate avenuereceived third prize. The next was somewhat different. It was class 59 A, the best performance of driving six-in-hand through obstacles, but there were no entries when the catalogue went to press. Walter Morosco had this all to himself, and it may be said that no novelty. His six coal-black, highly bred horses were driven by an old stage-driver named Foster, who showed how well be knew the business of turning six horses around in a knot and pufting them through pedestals set barely far enough avart to permit cf the gorgeous phaeton to pass between. The team was harnessed mag- nificently, with silver mountings glisten- ing. Nothing like it was ever seen in San Francisco, and as the driver guided his horses and curied them about in figures of eight and in small circles at a dashing clip, spectators and judges joined in ap- plauding. The Golden Gate stable had a really good six-in-hand, but it was eclipsed by it i d 1 all beholders with her riding an h"‘owned by20: BiHagein: with foariofihis other part of the show sm;pn-od it for | toe splendor of Morosco’s team and made no showing in fancy driving through the obstacles. The prizes were as might be expected, first and second respectively. -In class'43 five horses, 14 hands 1 inch \ and not exceeding 15 hands and 1 inch, were judged. They were shown before two-wheeled carts in variety and had to pass the judges on style of going, quality and manners. W. S. Hobart drove his new chestnut mare Frilis and won first prize. Frills came from the East a few weeks ago and is one of the new stock here. Hobart’s Pride, driven by Mr. Kemp, got second prize and his bay Prejudice the third ribbon, while Pope’s Romulus was highly commended. The other competitor was Quicksilver Jr., owned by E. W. A. Waterhouse. Three ponies under saddle were shown in the next event—class 71. They were Bessie, owned by Henry J. Crocker, Tad- pole, recently imported by Walter Hobart and exhibited by Miss Carolyn Lester of Santa Monica, and Nip, owned by J. D. Horan. Tadpole captured the house. He acted and looked like a dwarf hackney or high-stepper. He got first prize, Bessie second and Nip third. Class 72 was next exhibited. It was for six ponies under saddle, 12 hands and not exceeding 13 hands 1 inch, 3 years old and over. The entries were Miss Aloha Agnew’s Frisky from Hillsdsle, Jobn A. Buck’s Masher, Walter 8. Hobart’s imp. Spot, Lightfoot, Dip and Sparke. Dip got the blue ribbon, Frieky the red and Light- foot the white ribbon. Imp. Spot was highly commended. Immediately before a parade of exhibi- tion horses there wasa judging of a trot- ting stallion entered in class 4, Knight, progeny; also a judging in class 5 of two trotting stallions, Beaumont, owned by John Donnelly of Burlingame, and Knight. ANOTHER EVENING WITH THE HORSES. As usual the show was just a little slow in beginning in the evening, for the fash- ionable people who make it were slow in arriving. The first event of the night was over when the boxes began te fill and the house to be crowded. And from that time on the display was all that could be desired for variety ot eventsand magnificent showing of blooded stock. Style of course cut a very impor- tant figure on the tanbark. %« The evening opened with a matter-of- fact event, but all the same an interesting one. On the catalogue this was class 53, judging fourteen pairs of horses and de- livery wagons. The entries were: Caddie and Reuben by Morton’s Special Delivery, John and Billy Jr. by the Emporium, Sam and Queen by Siebe & Green, Fanny and Jerry by Simpkins & Thorp, Jane and Beile by Goldberg, Bowen & Co., Edie and Dash by Frank H. Burke, Fannie and Flora by Mount Shasta Min- eral Water Company, Frank and Jim, Daisy and Lottie, Duchess and Queen, Nigger and Duke, Jennis and Dolly, Minnie and Nelly, Molly and Bess, Mary and John by the same company. The delivery wagons were all new and shining, the harness polished and mostly silver mounted and the horses a finely fed, well-groomed lot. of high quality. The Emporium’s John and Billy Jr. won first prize, Siebe & Green's Sam and Queen second and the mineral water company’s gray mares, Fannie and Flora, third prize. t The unicorn teams shown in class 65 were greatly admired. In this class there was but one leader to the two wheelers shown before appropriate vehicles. Henry J. Crocker drove hisown team, a swell bay and chestnut trio, Fred, Eleanor and Dor- othy, that won second prize. The otber entry was W. 8. Hobart’s Paragon, Mon- arch and Performer with Hobart himself i the box. These horses are the new comers, and they won the first prize. There were other teams entered, but they did not appear. The mounted policemen of Golden Gate Park were next in the ring. They were judged according to the best and best- trained horses, appointment and uniforms also considered," Captain Thompson, mounted in Mexi- can style, with bridle and saddle all cov- ered with silver, led the way for his six men. They rode in single file at break- neck speed around the ring and suddenly drew up at one end in a platoon, so quickly and cleverly that the crowd applauded. A moment in lice and they were off again in a platoon at a mad rate, then they diyided and galloped up and down, pass- ing one another without once colliding, after which they dashed around in platoon formation utterly fearless. But the house applauded warmly. Their exhibition concluded with lasso- throwing, in which the park policemen showed how they could catch runaways and the like. Captain Thompson was awarded first prize, Officer C. Arellanes second, Eugene Compher third, and 8. W. I Harper was highly commended. In class 17 four pairs of roadsters and road rigs were judged according to these points: Each horse 25 per cent, the pair 20 per cent, wagon 10 per cent, harness 5 per cent, robes, blanket and whip 5 per cent, general appointments 10 per cent. Speed was not essential. Tbere was a special prize, a silver cup offered by the Palace Hotel, for this event. The entries were A. B. Spreckels’ Grove A and Fire, John C. Kirkpatrick’s Azalia and Flewy Flewy (not competing), Frank H. Burke’s Rossie Moore and Wand, and W. 8. Hobart’s Hazel Wilkes and Mattie Merrill. Hobart's team won first prize, Spreckels’ . second, Kirkpatrick’s third, and Burke’s was highly commended. The tandems judged in class 54 were en- tered for the best road tandem shown be- fore two-wheeled dogcart or tandem cart. The exhibitors were Henry J. Crocker with Edwin and Dorothy, Hobart with bay and gray horses unnamed, John Par- rott with Dandy and Flossie, handsome bays, and Joseph D. Grant, with Music and Myrtle, dashing bays. Hobart's team won first prize, Grant's neat pair was second, Parrott’s third and Crocker's was highly commended. The next event was judging two pairs of cab horses in class 51, horses to be 15 hands 2 inches or over in height and to be shown before a coupe, hack or four- seated carriage. A team of well-matched blacks—*‘Stars” and “Stripes’’—exhibited by Thomas Kelly & Sons, was awarded the blue rib- bon, and another team of equally well- matched blacks—named ‘‘Rumor’” and “‘Gossip’’—aiso exhibited by Thomas Kelly & Sons, was awarded the second prize. The conditions of judgment were that the horses should coun! 50 per cent and the appointments 50 per cent. Immediately after this event the gates were thrown open for the entrance of the picked teams of the San Francisco and Oaxland Fire Departments. With thunderous tread the big horses tore around the circuit, tugging hard and furjously at the heavy fire engines, the | whéls of which sank several incbes into the yielding tanbark as the animals swung at full speed round the turns and plunged into the straightaway. It was ssmply an exhibition of the teams that will regularly compete to- night for the several prizes offered in their particular class and awarded by special judges. For San Francisco there were chemical 2, hose 14, engine 23, engine 2 and engine 14, and from Oakland came engine 3 and engine 6. Last upon the programme of the even- ing was the judging of fine jumping sonies, class §3. This event proved a fit- ting finale to the second day of the horse show. H. C. Breeden’s Texas - Siftings took first prize, Charles A. Baldwin's Tristan was awarded second prize and Walter 8. Hohun’g Lady | Greensleeves took third prize. Lit- tle Tadpole, the petof the ring, was, be- cause of his belonging to a particularly diminutive class, swarded a special men- tion and a blue ribbon. % Ex-Queen L:lioukalani of the Hawaiian Islands accepted a special invilation last night from President Crocker, and will this evening be at the horse show. Box 47, in the center of the curve at the Larkin- street end of the Pavilion, has been re- served for her use. Plants growing near the sea have thicker leaves than those growing inland.

They Commend It THE COMMON PEOPLE are not alone in their praise of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. It has secured by its wonderful superiority over drugs the commendation of the best class of physicians in San Francisco—jyes, in the whole United States it is recognized as superior to batteries or other methods of treat- ment for nervous and organic disorders. Physicians are forced to acknowledge its superior curative power over medicine, and several of the most eminent doctors of San Francisco have taken up its application for the benefit of their patients, and the use of this appliance instead of medicine has already shown marked changes in the cases treated. The names of men with first-class reputations as physicians who have begun the use of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt can be had at Dr. Sanden’s office. They are men of advanced, progressive thought, and their adoption of this appliance is but another evidence of the victory of science and reason over the bigotry and ignorance of the pest. it KIDNEYS.

SANDEN—Dear Sir: I have worn tte Belt you sent me for about four months and it has done me a world of good. Ihad a continual drain from seminal weakness, which is now stopped entirely. My sexual powers are restored and I sleep and eat well. 1 feel like a man again since I began wearing your Belt. Previous to wearing your Belt I had tried the best physicians in the East and paid out a fortune, but to no purpose. Yours truly, A. J. HAMMOND, 707 I street, Sacramento, Cal. An Old Californian. “T am sixty-six years old. I have been doctoring for many years trying to recover my vital powers, but your/Belt has done me more good 1n a few weeks than all the other remedies I have nsed. I would not part with it now for any money,” writes P. D. MOJE, Covina, Los Angeles County, Cal. Man and Wife Cured. ‘I suffered with a severe pain in my right side for three years. Every time I lifted anything it would hurt me intensely. I could not sleep more than two or three hours every night. One day my wife went to the city and got one of your Belts for me. I wore it every night for a month and it knocked the pain out for good. I never have noticed it since and have gained ten pounds in weight. Meantime my wife has been wearing it for ]ame back and nervousness and it has made a great improvement in her. We are recommending the Belt to all our friends. Several are in use here, and every one speaks well of them,”” says W. A. MACKIE, Usal, Cal., December 1, 1896. A San Francisco Newspaper Man. “I was.so weak that I could not attend to my work, and could get relief nowhere till T used your Beit. After using ita few mcnlgs 1 have regained my full vigor, and though fifty years of age I am a strong man again,” writes THOS. RAY, Brooklyn Hotel, San Francisco. These are only a few expressions from the hun= dreds of grateful patients who have been cured by Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt infuses a continuous flow of electricity into the body for hours at a time. Every moment that the Belt is on the body its sparkling, vitalizing powers are felt penetrating the nerve tissues, filling them with new life, new, healthy vigor, and charging the blood with the vital force which nature in childhood bestowed upon the body. Thousands of grateful patients testify to the curative powers of Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt. None are too well to be aided by this wonderful appliance, as it brings the human body as near the goal of per- fection in vital force as it ever can get. None are too low to be aided by it, as it can take as a foundation the smallest spark of vitality and build upon it the fullest perfection of vigorous man- hood. If you are weak, sick or crippled see this Belt at once, and a test of its power and a look at the volume after volume of proof of its cures will convert you to the altar of nature’s truths and health will be yours from this wonderful appliance. : “Three Classes of Men” is Dr, Sanden’s celebrated work on the development of youthful manhood.
