The day was for the most part was pleasant, but there were Intervals of light showers and before the (lose of the exhibition it grew quite chilly with heavier rain Just as the awards were flushed. Not a single accident happened to mar the splendid success of the day so far as the horso show proper was concerned. Anna Salomon, one of the prize winners at the show was thrown under a falling horse on State street and injured, but no bones were brok en and the young lady will recover. The show this year nearly doubled last year's exhibit and fixed perman ently the certain popularity of regular exhibitions of similar nature, calling for an especially constructed ground and track, with convenient Judges' stand and seates for spectators, all of which will doubtless be enclosed and covered to guard against such weather as that of yesterday and possibly worse. The parade was over a mile In length and contained a rare collection of the finest horses in America and embraced varieties suited to every imaginable purpose from that of the Ian horse, so to speak, to the heaviest draft animals In the entire world.

Anderson of Albany, was a span that might have been fondled In the arms of almost any hearty femin ine lover of pets.
