G00D FORM SEEMS TO BE THE THING. It Tells in Many Classes Against the Old Style of Swell Steeds. HOBART CARRIES C(FF CUPS AND PRIZIS. W. 8. Yet the Ex“ibition, So Far, Has Been an Improvement on Form:r Ones in Many' Points. Society did not grow tired of viewing the horses on the third day of \the horse show. There wasso much in the exhibi- tionis that society could aot possibly ignore the one fashionable event of the year, and, indeed, the boxes surrounding the ring were well patronized during the day and evening. Nor did the show itself wane in'interest. On the contrarv, many of the events were more interesting than on the two wpre- vious days, and 1 vers of the new horse were well pleased with what they saw. The real horsemen were there in the morning and afternoon. They did not think of dress suits, but went to study and compare the hackney, hunter and coach horse with the oldtime racer and roadster, the dancing steed with the smooth single- footer. But somehow they were not seri- ously considered as part of the show—not a bit more than the press representatives who had to stand by the fence from 10 A M until 11 p. M. among the touts, stable-boys and the more enthusiastic ad- mirers of horses. These men who made they show were, like the graceful long- tailed California horse, not in it. Walter Hobart had the whole show to himself, with but few exceptions, as a glance over the list of winners will prove. So on this third day it was largely a case of one swallow making a summer. A merz handful of exhibitors led in style, which does not always demand a large stable ana a million or two, but only a Iit- tle attention to such detalls, as for in- stance, knowing it is not good form ex- actly to app arin a roadsters’ exhibition in silk hat and evening suit. Silk hats and dress suitsare not seen asa rule on the roads. Then the ries were not all they shoula be. OFf course there were exceptions, but it would seem that the American buggy is doomed to extinction, and people might as well be in the lead— when they are in a modern horse show. It needs spirit and money and & special taste to see and to understand all the points of excellence, and this very fact was plainly apparent yesterday when promi nent men with swagger reputations a horsemen competed in fashionable classes m livery rigs and ordinary street dress against the new ordler that is old beyond the mountain, with its faultiess footmen, its liveried coaschmen and grooms and its steeds full of action and display. A level trotting roadster after the old style was out of place. The stock on a whole was an improve- ment on that seen_at the former shows. Messrs. Crocker, Hobart, Pope, Spreckels, Baldwin, Parroti, Grant and Burk had brushed up remarkably in the past year. Besides, there were numerous road beau- ties in !ine, coming no doubt as emulous of the aristocratic docked tails, but they were not in the same class as the horse belonging to the new standard. However, they pleased the majority of the people, to whom hackneys full of action were tuo much of a novelty to be understood. All this is within the ell:ptical inclosure called “the ring.” The one disturbing factor outside the rail. It was Mr. Bald- win from Santa Clara County with his original evening trousers — “high-water pants,” if a valgarism must be used. For it never touched his low-cut shoes, and all the young male element of the select set wordered what it meant. It might bave been the very latest, but who shall say? Hali an hour was given after the show opened to viewing thoroughbreds. Imp. Atossa was shown in class 2 by A. B. Spreckels, and she won first prize. Starter Ferguson and Mr. Van Brunt (owner of Cabrillo) were the judges. Only ome two- vear-old was led on to the tanbark, and that wes Rosalbra, sired by Flambeau, the sire of the g >rescendo. The other colts, Geyser and Candeluris, did not appear. Rosalbra was given a second prize. The colt is ownea by W. 0'B. Macdonough. There was Only one con- testant in the vearling class. A. B. Spreckels had & fiily entered by imp. Idalium, which was likewise given a second prize. i In class 32 horses were shown in harness. C. A, Baldwin’s Tristan got first prize. W, S, Hobart's Laddie second, and Frank H. Burke's Jeffe third prize. Mares or gelding 14 hands 3 inches and un- der 15 hands 1 inch were judged in class 33, They were suit-ble for roa’s work in & gig or phaeton, and the winner of the first priz - was barred from a prize in ciass 38.

Class 65 was scratched and then class 55A— tandems driven through obstacles—was Jjudged. This was for the {)est performance of an amateur in driving, and the prize was & cup offered by John Bradbury. Henry J. Crocker, W. 8. Hobart and Charles H. Lead- better Jr. contested, and Hobart won the cup with the most nervous and spirited tandem. Nine ponies under sadale were judged in the next class—78. Charles A. Baldwin's Tristan won the first prize, J. J. Moore’s Flirt second, W. 8, Hobart's Pickwick third, and his Laddie was highly commended. There was one feature in this display that fairly caught the children in the boxes, and called forth many expressions of admiration from the old folk—the pretty showing made by Miss Mil- dred Boyne on her pet pony King Biily, 8 bay beauty bred on Heggin's ranch, and strictly in it on point of breeding and the accepted American standard, In class 464 Hobart and Pope competed for & silver cup offered by Brewster & Co. of New York for the best pair of horses exceeaing 15 hands 1 inch, shown before victorias, horse to count 50 per cent and appoiniments 50 per cent. Hobart's swell pair, Monarch and Per- former, that won second prize at the New York horse show against thirty-six entries, carried off the cup. ! Ten rosadsters were judged in the next event, on tne catalogue as class 16. Hobart’s Hazei Wilkes won first prize, A. B. Spreckels’ Fire second, Hobart’s Mattie Merritl third, Jule C. Gamage's bay beauty Allspice, one of the prettiest horses seen in the park, was highly commended.. He missed a prize on an oversight in regard to his appointments. Two teams of drrugnt horses were judged in class 89. They weizhed over 1500 pounds each horse. McNab & Smith showed Buck and Rainy in & heavy truck and got the first priz - Dave and Dick, exhibited by Golden Gate Park, & hanasome pair of bass, got second prize. In class 59 three four-in-hands were judged: Pacitic Coast bred horses beiore coach, wagon- ette and body break for the Morrow cup. Henry J. Crocker won with Fred, Eleanor, Prince and Dorothy ugainst Joseph D. Grant and Fu ton G. Berry of Fresno. The fire engiues competed in class 86 for a silver cup offered by Joseph D. Grant for the best team of three horses shown to regular fire engines. Oakland engine 26 and engines 2 and 23 of this City completed. Engine 2 won the cup. In section 2 for the best team of two norses shown to a regular fire engine Oak- land won first prize and engine 2 of this City the second. In addition to the prize Oxkland won u silver cup offered by the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company. In the evening Queen Liliuokalani had a box at the east end of the oval, immedi- ately in the center between the north and south entrances. With her party of half a dozen attendants she occupied it early and was the object of much interest. The box was prettily decorated with flowers, which hung in a festoon over the front rail. The procession of equine events was preiaced by an exhibition of horses for sale under the supervision of the ring- master. < The first competitive event was class 1, thoroughbred stallions, five entries and three prizes. They were shown in hand, not ridden. The entries were: Lovdal, Buras & Water- house; imp. Creighton, A. B. Spreckels; (rescendo, J. Naglee Burk, San Jose; imp. Artillery, W.T. Parsons, New Zealand; Del Paso 11, J. B. Haggin. First prize was awarded to A. B. Spreckels’ imp. Creighton; second to J. B. Haggin's Del Paso IL An exhbition of trotting, hackmey and coaching stallions followed which was pretty, but lacked the interest of the competitive events. The park tandems which followed gave occasion to Richard F. Carman to show what arenl good driver may do in tne box, and his little performance drew forth more applsuse than any other event or incident of the night. There were five entries, but only three put in an appearance. Two of these were Hobart’s—Paragon and Madison Square, and Czarand Peacock. The other was Henry Crocker's Edwin and Doro- thy. Hobart's Czar and Peacock took first prize and Crocker's Edwin and Dorothy sec- ond. It was Parsgon and Madison Square that performed badly with Kemp driving, the leader rearing and Lurning clear about in kis traces. Twice Carman got up, and ss quickly as he did so the team frotted away in the prettiest form, while the audience cheered the driver, who, so_far as_aunybody could see, did nothing but hold the ribi,ons. Walter Hoburt took all the?fl'lze! in the poio pony class—all except one, for the very zood reason that he bad mo competitors but one. His Dandelion_took first, Luddie third, Pick- wick fourth. E.D. Baylard’s Major was given second prize. The performances of the ponies were spirited. For saddle-horses Miss Eva Coryell's Red- wood took first prize, John Parrott’s Stella second, V. Artshmoviteh third and W. Hobart's Lady Green-<ieeves fourth. There were four of the entries that put inan appearance in class 46 for best pair of horses shown before a brougham. They were all very handsom and ail were given a prize, Hobsrt's Monarch and Perform, taking first: the same exhibitor's Damrosch and Seidl second; George H. Pope’s Arsenal and Burling- ton l}l:ird; and John Parrott’s Dandy and Flora fourth. The concluding event was the high jumpers. There were three entries—W. Wirthie’s But- ton, Charles A. Neave's Bobs and W. 8. Ho- bart's Roynlty. They began at 41 feet. But- ton was ridden three times to the fence, but positively refused to leap and was ridden away. Bobs took the 4}¢ three times, touch- ing each time, bt could do no better. Royalty aid vetfer. He took the 4} rather bedly, but kept improving and took it finally at 5 feet and took the first prize. Ex-Queen Liliuokalani was dressed in black and looked much better than pic- tures of her made her lsp&flr. In the with her sat Colonel and Mrs. G. W. Mac- farlane of Honolulu and their niece, Miss Gardie Macfarlane; Mrs. Ellen Graham of New York, but formerly of Honolulu, and two personal attendants to her Majesty. A great many persons visited the box and paid their respects during the evening, Speaking of the horse show, the Queen declared herself very much pleased with the whole entertainment, and particularly with the display of two-horse closed car- riages in class 46, an exnibition wh ch she dec ared compared favorably with any- thing of the kind she had ever witnessed, ard she hud seen the grand parade at Hyde Park, London, on the occasion of Queen Victoria’s jubilee. L THOSE WHO WERE THERE. People Who Attended the Third Night of the Show. Among the hundreds of prominent per- sons that occupied boxes or single seats and promenaded abcut the tanbark oval were: Russian Consul V. Artsimovitch, F. J. K. L. Archibald, Miss Alice Ames.

W. &, Hobar{ was again victorious, carrying away the medal with his Hazel Wilkes and Mattie Merrill hitched together behind a buggy and driven by the owner. A. B. Spreckels’ Grove A. and Fire took second prize, and Algonita and Algoneer, owned by 8. L. Golastein, third. Rossie Moore and Wand, owned by Frank H. Burke, were highly commended. Alter the trotters came the pacers entered in class 18, Loupe, the crack of the Pacific Coast in this class, carried off the first prize while the house applauded, and his delighted owner, James G. heale{, smiled over his victory. E. Divkelspiel’s Brilliantine got the second prize, John F. Boyd of Oakwoed Park took the thira with Knwookum, and H. E. Wise's Billy Patsy was highly commended. There was a better attendance in the afternoon than on either of the former days, and with all things considered the show was more interesting from all points of view, If Walter Hobart bad it nearly all to himself during the afternoon‘it was only too vident that the house was with the judges, for he won only after hard batties. He took first and second-prize in the first event, first in the second, first ana second in the third, cups in the fourth and | fifth, first in the sixth and lost in only one otherevent. The afterncon’s exhibition opened with cluss 45, for the best horse exceeding 15 hands 1 inch, shown before a brongnam. The horse counted 50 per cent and tie appoint- ments 50 per ceut. The appoiniments were almost equal, but Hobart won first prize with Madison tquare and second with Czar. John Parrott’s Dandy;a bay, won third prize. Three ponies were judged in ¢ ass 60, shown before appropriaie yebic'es, Twdpole, exhibited by Miss Carolyn Lesier of Santa Monica, got the blue ribbon; Be<sie, shown by H. J. Crocker, was the winner ol the second prize, and Oile, exnibited by Cari A. Tornbey and driven by little Misa Mildred Boyne, got third prize. Class 62, for ponies above twelve hands and not excveding thirteen hands one inch, was next shown before a variety of rigs. W.S. Hobart’s imp.

While the band has played and the fancy steppers of various sorts have been stirring up the tan bark in the Paviiton, thiaves have cast covetous eyes at various movable articles, like whips, pieces of harness and so on. JThe total value of such easily transferable articles in the Payvilion is considerable, running up into the thousands of dollars. Everything, being for show, is naturally of the finest, and even a satchel full of trappings would havye some value. There are some thieves who are enter- prising enougk to tear a hole through one side of the Pavilion and crowd through the aperture. This would be less credi- ble if the deed had not been actually ac- complished. The happening. dates back to Thursday night. The construction of the shell of the Pavilion is slight. There are upright and cross timbers and a sheathing of rustic boards on the outside, but no inner sheathing. Thieves evidently made a study of this situstion. Thursday night a hammering was heard by some persons in the Pavilion while the show was progressing. No one seemed to vay any attention to it. There was so much going on that no ongin the Pavilion had any visible concern in this manifesta- tion, which occurred on the Polk-street side. The thieves removed one of the rus- tic boards on Folk street and made 2n aperture large enough for a slim man to crawl through. If any one noticed this no one interfered. For a time street gamins were supposed to be stealing a peep at the show, although there was nothing but-stalls and horses to see from that point of view. No person was seen to enter from the street, but some one entered with felonious purpose and stole something belonging to McgNab and Smith. Rumor goes that whip« and harness, which were banging in easy reach, were stolen, but this is de- nied. It is conceded only that a headstall was taken. Rumor al=o has it that one or two other exhibitors met with some loss, but if this is true the particulars nave been carefully kept secret. Certamn it is that two detectives went through the Pavilion yesterday and ex- | amined the hole, which was boarded up during the dav. The story of one or more thefts varies the conversation concerning blue ribbons, premiums and so on. PICTURES DISTRIBUTED.

The art drawing of the Association of California Art Patrons took place Thurs- day afternoon in the library of the Me- chanics’ Institute on Post street.

Complaint That Proparty Is Overas- sessed in the Suburb on Account of the Climate. - Property-owners interested in the im- provement of Sunset district, particularly in opening a roadway along what is known on the map as Nineteenth avenue, held an enthusiastic meeting last night at 20 Eddy street. The greater part of the session was oc- cupied in discussing the feasibility oi establishing the official grade of the dis- trict, so that when work was done there would be no mixing up of official and un- official grades. It was reported that the cost of estab- lishing the grade would be $3200, and it was suggested that a committee should be appointed whose duty should be to appear before the Board of Supervisors and petition for an appropriation of that sum. If the present board would not do it the new board could be appealed to. At the worst a county road could be put in for the present, argued some of the members, but there would be some diffi- culty on account of drifiingsands. There were two and a half blocks on Nineteenth avenue where precautions should be taken a<ainst this evil. George Green said that in all probability there would be in the near future an elec- tric road from the park to lngleside, and he was of the opinion that the sooner Nineteenth avenue was laid out the soonep would the electric road be buiit. He moved the appointment of a committee with instructions to get an appropriation from the Supervisors to establish ap offi- cial grade, Mr. Larsen expressed the opinion that it would be better to have a county road with the natural grade constructed for the present. He suggested a roadway 46 feet wide, with sidewalks or curbs, until the blocks were built upon and otherwise improved. There were five square miles in the aistrict, and on the map had becn laid out five streets 80 feet wide and some 70 feet wide. It was destined to be the most beautiful residence part of the City, he said, but there was not a street in the whole tract. The climate out there, he added, was_finer than that of Sausalito, Belvedere, Berkelsy or S8an Rafael. It is true, he admitted, that it blows a little and is foggy out there once in a while, but that did not prevent it from having a mag- nificent climate. Mr. Larsen complained that the Asses- sor had made a mistake aud assessed the climate as weil as the land, Forinstance, one oi his blocks was assessed for $4000, while the block next to it was sold about amonth ago for $2500. The people in that district paid considerable sums in taxes, and they had not received anything from the City in return. 1t was decided to instruct the committee to visit A. B. Spreckels, Cornelius O'Con- aor, Charies Webh Howard, 8. W. Leake and other influential citizens in order to secure their co-operetion. The chair appointed George Green, R. T. Brodek and Messrs. McMahon, Fink and Pope as the committee, and the meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chair. It is estimated thav there are in Wales about 910,000 reople who speak Welsh, and abou 000 outside the Principality. ROLLING-MILL MEN G0 BACK T0 WORK A Compromise Effscted Which Is Satisfactory All Round. The Cut in Wages Will Not Be More Than Ten Per Cent. It Simply Cuts Of an Advance Made Scme Time Ago, Resuming the 01d Rate. The men who went on strike at the Pa- cific Rolling-mill afew days ago, because of a threatened reduction in wages, will return to work this morning, the diffi- culty raving been adjusted. The men yesterday, through a committee, proposed to Superintendent Noble a compromise which, although it was very much more to the advaniage of the men than the terms proposed by the company, was ac- cepted. The proposed reduction affected only the men in the ten-inch and the bar mill, and contemplated a cutof from 25 to 35 per cent. About two years ago an advance of 10 per cent was made in the wages of the men voluntarily by the company. The men, having discussed the situation for two days at their leisure, Gecided to make a proposition to go back to work under their old rate of wages, cutting off the 10 per cent that bad been added. The committee called upon superih- tendent Noble yesterday morning, made their proposition, and the superintendent, hearing them through, assented to it and told the men to go to work. Accordingly the men employed in the larger mill will go to work this mornin, and those employed in the small mill wil. resurae work on Monday. Both the men and “the mill’’ seem to be very well pieased at the settlement of the difficulty. The men admit that there is good reason in the condition of trade to warrant a reduction of wages. The price of finished iron is low and in the West here the distance from sources of supply of raw material makes it difficult to com- pete, % The proposed reduction only affects the wages of some fifty men. Larry McMahon, foreman of the mill, took occasion yesterday to contradict some statements that have been made in print regarding conditions at the mill. *“It is not true,’”’ he said, “‘that the use of oil has been discontinued in the mill because it proved a failure and that the changes in the fittings to resume the use of coal had been made at great cost. That is all rank nonsense. The fact is the use of oil was a marked success and there was no reason why it should be discontinued except that they raised the price until it became dearer to use than coal. *They offered oil to us cheapat first and we made certain changes for its use. Tuen they thought they nad a cinch on us and raised the price. So we simply quit the use and went back to coal. The fact is the cost of th+ change in fitting for coal was a mere trifle. - ow as to the reduction, in wages it is NEW TO-DAY. LEVIN BROS. Leading Grocers. SPECIAL SALE FOR TO-DAY!

Is it? Then take Ayer’s Sar- saparilla and keep itso. Isn’t it? Then take Ayer’s Sarsa- parilla and make it so. One fact is positively established and that is that Ayer’s Sarsa- parilla will purify the blood more perfectly, more economi- cally and more speedily than any other remedy in the mar- ket. There are fifty years of cures behind this statement; a record no other remedy can show. You waste time and money when you take anything to purify the blood except Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. just this way: The price of iron is low and the price of labor in the East islow and to compete here the price of labor had to be cut. Mr. Noble has always put up wages when the price of iron warrants it. Ihaveseen it done three times vol- untarily in this mill. When iron is low then a cut has to be made. It is true that a compromise has been effected of a 10 per cent cut and the men come back to work to-morrow and Monday.” Death of Jaceb A. Miller.] Jacob A. Miller, the father of Rev. Oliver C.
