It had been published repeatedly In one of the sensational evening papers that Saturday was a day. given over by boxboldcrs to their valets, maids, servants, and grooms, and that these would be the only occupant of tb boxes. The statement was, of course, as' absurd a it was malicious, as the best refutation of It lay in the fact that the crowd at the -Garden in the afternoon waa greater than that on any afternoon aince the show was inaugurated.

v. yvr Sbasned fc There ha been much comment upon tb fact that a number of people who are interested la the horse. prominent ia society, and financially Interested to the sbdw did not Uiie boxes this year. The reason has been variously ascribed to the hard times, to the fact that a number of prominent families were in mourning, and because society had tired of the show. This may be true in some cases.

But there is another thing that has brought about the absence of some of the most enthusiastto friends of the show. Gentlemen hive refrained from, leasing boxes because they would not allow the ladles of their families to be caricatured, and even Insulted, la print by the so-called modern Journalists," who use the show as a means of abusing people who will not recognise fhe owners of the disreputable sheet socially. These gentlemen who have been driven from box occupancy say that they will net allow the ladles of their families to sit in boxes and be made the target of the alleged Illustrators who rush Into print the most wretched caricatures labeled with the names of respected women of the fashionable world. Objected (Ia1t. These so-called "sketches from life" extremely annoying to ladies and their husbands, father and brothera as well.

Accompanied as these sketches are with in-, ane twaddle and ridiculous attempts to de- scribe the costumes worn, they have reached a point that has become unbearable. The easiest way to escape this undesirable notoriety, this Impertinent lnterferenee with the private affairs of respectable families, was to give up the boxes which so many would otherwise have occupied. This they did, and that was why familiar face were missed from the boxes aa regular occupants. The ladles were in the Garden as usual, but they occupied arena seats where they would escape the prying eyes of the caricaturist and so-called artist. They visited the horses in the stalls and were able to thoroughly enjoy that part of the show, for th sensational Journalist never thinks of looking for people anywhere except In the boxes.

They did the promenade quietly and unostentatiously, and had a Jolly time listening to the comments of people who were looking for them in the boxes. They heard gossip and chatter -such as they had never before heard as to society, accompanied bV stories of personal characteristics of well-known people retailed by the fellow-prome-naders from the masses, who had their only knowledge of social life of New-York from the columns' of rot published In the sensational sheets. Then they thanked heaven that they were saved from the caricaturing and flippancy that has played so Important a part in the reports of the week at. the show. They have, of course, been occasional occupants of boxes of their, friends, but the mere fact that their names were not on the catalogued list of boxholders saved them from a constant source of annoyance.

There is plenty of legitimate game for. the sharp pens of the newspaper writer In such persons as Richard Harding Davis and 'tuy uates, tn trie fumes or tvouia-oe successors to Berry Wall, in the attempts of self-styled actresses to attain notoriety and free advertising, in the social aspirations of the nouveau rlche, without attacking the ladies and gentlemen, ot the fashionable world, who just as surely shrink from and object to newspaper notoriety as these others strive In every way at their command to attain it. Until the era of offensive illustration and comment passes away the gentlemen referred to say they will not again occupy boxes at the show. As to the horse himself, the primary object for which the show is held, he has more than beld his own this year'. The display, save in tbe hackney classes, from which several large exhibitors were necessarily missing, has been far In advance of anything ever before seen.

Quality has been very high, particularly In the harness classes, though very ordinary In the hunting and jumping classes, much to the surprise of every one. The principal thing that has been developed at the show of horses Is the fact that unless a change Is made in he programme there will be a decided fa off in the future In tbe entries of owners. Few of these care any longer to Compete In the ring against the horses of dealers, whose animals are in the show solely because the owners see here a better chance to display what they have for sale they can find in any other way. Unless a change Is made the competition will surely left as a monopoly to dealers. The amateur driver and rider has been driven out of the ring by the professional.

The fact wss never so marked as it has been this year. How tb Troable. As has been suggested by W. Gould Bro-kaw, there Is an easy way to remedy the trouble. That Is to make separate classes for th professional dealer and driver and for the gentleman owner and whip.

The latter have no show against the former. Mr. Brokaws Idea is to have separate classes, requiring owners to drive In one and permitting dealers and professional drivers to compete la others. Then, if the management cares to do it. the two sets of prise wirrers mar meet In an open contest tor the championship of the specific classes This would seem to be a sensible way out of the troub-e, which is certainly threatening the life of and the interest in the More irterest centres in a class where gentlemen are to drive their own hordes than In the smartest display of horsemanship by the cleverest of professional whips.

It is the amateur driver holding the lines over his own team that society and the general public wishes to see. They care nothing fur the rivalry between a lot of dealers who are In the ring solely to show what they have to sell Bates and Brat ton. Asbeaden and Baton- Donnelly and Pratt, are all well enough a their way, but what the people want Is to see clever whips like Dlek Carman. J. H.

It seems as it such a change as 1 indicated must be mad or else interest in tne show will certainly wane. The feeltng In this direction made itself strongly felt during the week, and if tbe management is sensible it will surely take heed to it ia the arrangement of Its entry list for the coming year. Owners are thorough' tired of being beaten in the ring and being turned out to make way for a lot of dealers, who have absolutely monopolised things this year, and so deprived the competition of fully half their Interest.

Society has mpokn In this line, and the management must beed their speech or they will find that In catering to the dealers they are killing th goose that has been laying for the stockholders tb fattest of golden eggs.

Jr. the winner lat year-was defeated for the Hackney Society's Challenge Cup. This went to F. C. Stevens' Clifton a fine type of the hackney.

Imported last -year. Cadet was given the reserve ribbon, and Rufus, had no chance whatever, as be was sadly out of condition. Entnorpe Performer. Wildfire, and Maximilian were the other entries for the cup. There were only two competitors for the trotting stallion championship Stamboul and Mambrino King.

The prize went to dtamboul. of course, as the age of the other showed too plainly in the sway of his back to be overlooked. Stambcul thus took hi tecond ribbon for the day. as he had previously beaten Trevillian, Rex Americus, and X.ynne Bel in th contest for trotting stallions, wltb a record of 2:23 or better. The decisions iu both oases were just wh it they should have been, and Mr.

Harrimaq wa the recipient of a host of congratulations from his many friends. In the championship class for saddle horses exceeding la.2 hands, the honor went Stanton Elliott's chestnut mare Rosemary, a very well-mannered and rather showy mare, with a docked tail. The reserve was given to Mrs. F. G.

Bourne' high-school hors Ad. which won In his class. Tbe championship for the smaller type of saddle not exceeding 15.2 hands -In height, was divided on Friday uight, the honors being captured by Charles L. Railey's chestnut mare Patsy McCord, with Miss C. Adelaide Doremus's showy chestnut gelding Chester placed in reserve.

Tbe Trotting; Classes. So much adverse comment was made about the refusal of the judges to award prizes for three-year-old trotting stallions on Friday that th horses were ordered rejudged yesterday, the Directors deciding that awards should be made in justice to the exhibitors, even if the class did not suit the hypercritical notions of the judges. After due inspection, therefore, the first prize was given to C. J. and Harry Hamlin's entry.

Dare Devils the bay horse Conquest Star, belonging to the estate of A. B. Dowllng, being placed second, and A. B. Gray's Avenger got the third money.

In the trotting horse pcoduce prises -that for the two-year-old stallions went to SI. 1 1, llarriman's Khaledan. a son of Stamboul. out of a Wilkes mare. T.

H. Bundle was second, with Bancroft, a son of Quartermaster, and H. N. Bain's Langtoneer, a grandson of Electioneer, got the third honors, the Drizes beine worth a5tt7.50. und SllU.fiO.

J. arry Hamlin, whose filly clinola- King, a daughter of Mambrino King, carried off the honors. Rensselaer Weston got tbe second money with Ssfla, a daughter of Siamboul, and H. N. Bain again got tbe third money.

this time with Stamdella. a daughter of StambouU Both the second and third prize winners were bred by E. H. Harriman. It took the judges nearly an hour to decide on the award for the be ft road rig.

In which horses and sppolntments were both to count. Charles M. Reed of Erie. finally secured the honors, with Alice I-ey-burn, a report of whose lameness that had been circulated was Incorrect. He also secured fourth place with his second string.

Lady Allerton. Jame. W. Cooke of Philadelphia got" the second prize, with hla gelding. Altamont.

Mr. Cooke drove his own horse while- professional -reinsmen drove the others. Mr. Cooke was advised that he had better show hi' horse with a. professional driver up, but declined td' do so.

He very sensibly took the" -groundi that a this was essentiaily a gentleman's class, gentlemen hould show their own horses. William Pollock's Holmesdale got the third prlxe driven by a trainer, as were both of Mr. Reed's teams. In the class for horses and delivery wagons, as used in business, a useful class in which the association has tried In vain to arouse sharp competition, there were but two competitors, the entry from the Slegel-Cooper Company beating that of M. Stumph.

Jadglng the Ponies. Lovers of ponies had a gala day of it. for there were several of these classes. The showiest of the lot was the Judging of the pony tandem teams. In which Marlon Story's frequent winners.

Lady Elsie and Eccles'a Wonder, the former a roan and the latter a black, had an easy victory, as their action was far better than anything else shown in the ring. Samuel Russell, showy pair was placed. second, and third honors went to the smallest pair In the ring.

Huckleberry Finn, a little fellow, making most of the fun by his friskiness.

but falling to get anything better than fourth prize. The blue ribbon went to the pretty skewbald mare Jessie, owned by George Green, Thomas L. att getting the second prize with Monte Carlo, and his son getting third with the little bay Minna. All eight competitors were ridden by boys. A little stallion called Cowboy became so ti81 Um to throw his rider.

The little fellow hung on well, and afte-being dragged over the tanbark for a dozen feet, stopped the horse, remounted, and went on about his business as If nothing had happened. 'His only reward were the cheers and applause of the crowd. Master Clarence Gerken won the prize for pairs of ponies other than Shetlands and under IS bands. His pair were Topsy and Jennie, and he had but one pair to beat. In the class for ponies between 12 and 13 bands the first and second prizes were Withheld and the third given to Master William Zieglers pair of piebalds and Ino.

George Green's pair Fleur de Lis and Lavinia landed the blue ribbon In the biggest pony clas4 between IS hands and 14.1 hands. The Messrs. Hamlin won second prise with Primrose and Hesther these being the only two pairs competing. In the class for ctilllons there was a very pretty show. and.

after a sharp competition. William M. V. Hoffman won the first money with Cock Robin, a solid che.unut The second prise went to W. J.

Sampson's bay Major. Charles Laurier getting third with Lord Lenox, the empty fourth honors going to the black horse Adjutant, owned by the Coach Horse and Cob Company. The liar steps Horses. -Fatty- Bates was very much In evidence again in the when be won the blue ribbon for pairs of horses In harness with Aladdin and Amazon, easily carrying off the honor. A.

J. Nutting's pair. Duke and Holly, were placed second, and George B. Hulme's pair. Great Scott and Ganymede, third, the latter driven by J.

H. Shults. In excellent shape. Batea also captured the Brewster special prise of $200 for the best pair of horses shown before a mail phaeton. It was done with the same pair that won the harness prise, their only compel! torn being Mrs.

Perry Tiffany's Fun and Fandango. Bates's shrewdness was shown In this class, when bis team was the only correctly appointed one be showing without kln straps, which Is tbe proper thing when the owner la driv" Irg. After th class for harness horses had with a victory for Harry Hamlin' Cogent, the first of the contest or the iarness horse championships was called. it was for horses not over 15.S bands, and was won by tbe ever-Jolly Charley Bates, who won with bis gelling Coxey over four competitors. L.

When the Judges called Bates up to receive his blue ribbon be doffed his hat and sat wltb It In band while the rlblon was being pinned to his horse. Ills fire waa wreathed in smile, and when he drove out for his final circuit ot the ring he could not resist waving his whip In the air in response to tbe cries' and cheers of bis army of faithful henchmen, who have been mere or less tn evidence all th week.

Collier got th second pris wltb Flying Dutchman, who showed qp better in this competition than In any other in which he had participated. The clas for thoroughbred hunters showed up much worse, though Blue Garter did such good work for his owner, Thomas Hitchcock, and his rider.

The first of the evening competition was for light-weight qualified hunter, and was won right cleverly by Harry W. Smith's Sweetbriar, ridden by his owner. The second ribbon went to Mrs. si 8. Howland's gray mare Miss Brown, and G.

M. Siden-berg's Beaufo.t, also a gray, got the syiall end of the purse The jumping for the championships in three daises tor light weignts, middle weights, and heavy we.ghts wound up the evemng' perforatum a ad the show. It was a sharp and close competition, the award nnaJly going to Mrs. a. 8.

The Orange AtheUle Club and tbe Elisabeth 'Atbletle Curb football elerens played one' of, tbe best exhibition games witnessed la this vicinity this season at tb Manhattan Field yesterday afternoon.

It yult4 In a tie score of to It was the second tie gam of the season played to decide the football championship' of New-JersfsT. barring Princeton University, and was stubbornly conteeed from' start to The day was sin ideJal one for football, but proving a trifle taw for the 1.800 pectators, composed, of Orange and KlUabeth rooters and local enthusiasts. The viaduct and Deadhead Hill were also crowded. Greatly to surprise of the Elisabeth eleven, the Orange aggregation wa somewhat strengthened by 'the addition of four former football stars, namely, Heffelnnger, Yale's old guard, and ex-Capts. Knlpe and Carl Williams and Full Back Brooke of the University of Pennsylvania.

The Elizabethans vainly, protested against the remarkable change, in the make-up of th wearers of thp fleurde-ll, but, as there no prohibitory rules in th case, they were finally obliged to accede. Heffelfinger filled his former position at left guard with much of hi ld-tlme vigor and enthusiasm. He wa In every play, and employed many of hi former Yale tactics in breaking through the line and smashing up the opposing Interference. He waa of great assistance to the Orange backs, pushing or pulling them along after they were apparently downed. His pppo nent.

H. Smith, was equally tall, and, while not aa strong, managed to make things exciting for the mighty Heffelnnger. Knlpe savagely stormed the line and creditably played bis old place at left half. His run of sixty yards In the first half was a feature of the game. Carl William was a star man at left end.

For the Elizabeth team. Demon Smith, Knapp, and Lang ford played plucklly and Bteadlly, as did the whole of that sturdy eleven throughout the game. Langford's punting was tbe feature of the first half, as he had the aid" of the strong west wind. In tha second half Brooke repeatedly punted the ball for, seventy yards at a time. He missed two tries for goal from the field.

There taa been spasmodic agitation In thl city against th high-hat nuisance. In theatre for a long- time, and sundry bill bav been introduced In tbe Legislature at Alv oany rooaing it iia upprcsatuu. au directors of tb Metropolitan Opera House have made a move In th matter, and at a recent meeting they decided to request Ia4Ia occupying: seat In th orchestra during '4h coming season not to wear bats during the performance, and yesterday notices X9 that effect wer aeat to the news paper. Richard Kevlll. representative ths management of the Opera Houe, said last night: "The management ha frequently considered thl matter, and baa decided to see if a reform could not Inaugurated now at tk.

It. I not th purpo to dictate what person sUail wear In th Opera House, but lb reason for uch a mov are apparent. Outeld of tb enhancement of tbe comfort of tb audience It would malt a much handsomer bow for tbe ladle to leave their bat off. A It Is now, moat of tb men In the orchestra attend In full dress. In roost of tb European opera bouses It.

I compulsory that boUxjaer and women' who bay seat in the pit must appear In full dress. Il also th case In many European theatres. This custom I growing gradually here. particularly among tb men. If could, bring about the ull-drea custom In th orchestra of tb Opera It would be very desirable, and this Is a step In that direction, perhaps.

But tber la to be tooth ing compulsory about It" An orchestra audience in full dreaa has been talked about In this city for a long time. On first nights and other special oo-caalona, it la common to tb men la full dress, but It was very rare that women were seen thus attired till last season, when a few exception wer noted. Thu far. In the- present season, th custom among the women seem to bav made a little but very perceptible advance. It Is perfectly apparent that such a eus-.

torn, adopted by anything ua a large part of tbe women wbo occupy orchestra seat, would bav a beautiful effeet. Thl has been urged again and again, but nobody; ha ever before taken tha lead In tb mat ter. Theatrical manager discussed the mat ter last night with Interest. They wero unanimous In tbe opinion that such a reform as tb Opera House management I trying to secure would be a great boon to New-Y6rk theatregoers. In the theatres, more than In tbe Opera House, the big hat ar a nuisance and positively an obstruction.

The managers of the theatre are Interested in aspect of the case more than In th artistic side, though they would not regret to see the occupants of tb orchestra appear In full dress. mils Introduced at Albany to prohibit women from wearing high hats In theatre have never met with any success. In sev eral Western States the question has been agitated, and th. Louisiana Legislature did pas a law recently proniuiiing any woman from wearing a net in a tneatre in mat State. In Ohio the matter was left to the discretion of the manager.
