The class had to be judgecTIn sections and many noted amateurs figured as .Whin?. The dartlngs and, whirlings of the bright wheeled gigs over the tanbark.wllh the stylo and curTeflngff of tho mettlnd stoeds, wore the prettiest pictures of the n'sht. All around action only was ropslderod. and Bates again scored ovor.tbo amateurwhlps and their steeds. A spirited jumping olass, which had so many entries that It had taken two hours to sort out the Inollglbles in the afternoon, wound up the night. Almost bofore the judgos had announced the result, tho annual carriage show was on before the Madison avenuo ontranco. and society, with stunning, wraps ,drapd over tho brill ant costumes, had started for DalmOnlco s. Sherry's and tho Waldorf-Astoria, or, In somo Instances, the order Mlomo" had fallen llko balm on the cars of tired cqaehmon and grooms. The devotees of Park driving were all agog with Interest when tho buglo sounded at 2 o'clock for the first competition. It was a class for high stoppers overlo hands and under 16. J bands high. Experts at tho ringside said it was the most Important open class on tho pro- frrammo In this division, as it brought tocother or the first time noarly all tho horses that are Ikelyto flguro In tho racofortho ohamplon ship later in tho woek. The Hold was perhaps the largest ever oxhlbltod at the Horse 8how, fifty-one aspirants for tho honors prowdlng about tho ontranco to the ring before-tho gates were openod. rroscott Lawrence. Francis T. Underhlll and H. .K. Bloodgood. thp judges, called tho horses into tho ring in, three divi sions, weeding out the deadwood In pno lot before anothorwas admitted. Only thlrteon remained after this baptism of fire, and thero were heart burnings on nil sides as the owners and admirers of tho equine pots saw tholr fa vorites get tho gato Ip rapid succession. Sam tluxtor, who'drove Miss" Amalla Kuns ncr'8 Ivanhoc. was fairly dazed, when the judges sent tho champion of the Morrlstown show out of the ring with tho rest, tleorgo It. Bead's sporty little pray gelding, Old Tlmoo.a winnor at Whito Plains, was another, blue-ribbon stepper that got lost InthoBhufflo. After noarly an hour's work the competitors were re duced to seven, those left being Thomas W. Lawson's nhostnut mare Qloriana and bay golillng Glorious, John S. Bratton's, brown gelding Sampson. Qeorgo B, Ilulmo's chestnut goldtng Narragansctt. W. 0. Blandlng's bay gelding Adonis, Albort 0 Bostwlok's bay maro Lady Ursula, and C. F. Bates's brown gelding Ooxey. At last th contest for first honors nar rowed down to four or flvo of the beat onos, and the handolapplng.grow more splrltod as they sped around and around the tanbark. each one doing hla prettiest to pull down the ribbon. Coxey. the champion of 1806, and on of the stars of last year's show, was driven by Charloy Bates, who had laid up a couple ot heats on his rivals, never calling for tho best that Coxey could do until tho final brush. The little gold Ing moved as gracefully ns of old. with plenty ot snap and show about his action, and he was ln the hunt to tho last. John Brattnn's Ramp son got the blue ribbon In the end. Tho Kansas City horseman fairly beamed with ioy as ho sent his winner spinning oiertho tanbark after the blue rosette had been tied ou him. Brat ton's friends at tho rlncddo shoutod oeifer ously, and finally lifted him from the gig to their Bhoulders as he loft thn ring. , The winner is a Western horso that has car ried off about aB many prizes in his section as Coxey has ln tho East. He has not tho easy, graceful way of going that distinguishes tho Now York champion, but that ho con go high and go fast was abundantly prood when Brat ton set out to head the procession In yester day's competition. Ills owner Bays the horso has a record of 2:10M, made two or thren years ago under the namo of Winkle W. His slro was Winkle Dick, a son of Mnxoy Cobb. 2:13, tho champion trotting stallion of ten years ago. Coxoy was placed second, Qloriana third and Lady Ursula fourth. Qloriana Is the trot-tlnr-bred maro that was sold at tho American Horse Exchange a fow weeks ago under the namo ot Best Get Bhe Is beautifully turned, but rather lacking ln substance, and her docked tall is almost devoid of hair. Coxov's defeat does not necessarily precludo him from win ning the championship, as Bampson Is 15.2K hands high, and Is therefore not eligible to compete with Bates's crackajack, fnthecham Vplon class for high steppers of the smaller size. r Major P.

Attempt to Acquire tho lload for tbe Kan sas City, l'lttsburc and Guir. Humors of a chance of control of the Chi cago and Alton Railroad Company have been current recently in Wall streot, and'Jt was said yesterday that a majority of the stock had al- , roady boon secured in tho interest of tho Kan sas City, Plttsburc and Gulf Railroad Com pany. Tho basis of this report is tho fact that an effort is making to 'form a syndicate that will underwrite an operation similar to that by which tho New York Central acquired oontrol I of tne Lake Bhoro and Mlchican Bouthorn and the Mlchican Central Railroad Companies. It Is not thoueht probable howovor, that tho deal can bo put thruush. Tho reported purpose of the promoters of , the scheme in tho furtherance of which Presi dent Btllwell of tne Kansas City, Pittsbunr and GulClms been active, is to offer to exchanae Chicaco nnd Alton stock at 100 :for Kansas City. Plttsburc and Gulf 4 per cent, bonds at par secured by the deposit of the Chicaco and Alton stock under tho mortgage, and to form a . syndicated underwrite tho transaction. This syndioato has not been formed, tboueh it Is believed that the control of the Onlaago and Alton could be secured If a cash offer of some thing: like the price mentioned should be mado.
