Marked by an even better display of
splendid horse llesh and with the array
of fashion In the boxes equalling. If not
surpassing, the symphony of color
shpwn on the opening night, the second
exhibition of Atlanta's Horse Show was
a pronounced success.
Among the entries were some of the
best trained fancy steppers that ever
came down. from generations of Blue
Grass ancestry, and among these the
Atlanta trained exhibits were easily In
the lead, Atlantans carried off trophy
after trophy on Wednesday night,
though three entries from Tennessee
captured blue ribbons In open classes.
Not a box but was Ailed on the second
night, though the occupants, In many
cases, differed from those of the open
ing event. New guests were found In
many of these, and among them was
Governor Hoke Smith, whose presence
lent an official touch to Georgia's gala
social event of the season. New cos
tumes. rivaling those In beauty of the
first night, gave rise to the comment
that Atlanta modistes must have been
working long and late In recent weeks.
There was a riot of color, for the sea
son's creations are not of modest hue,
but there was a harmony which made
the rainbow effect of the great oval u
symphony In hues.
But one Incident marred the perfec
tion of the evening, an accident similar
to that of Tuesday night. In the local
roadster class, T. B. Lumpkin, driving
his brown mare, Black Bird, had a
hard fall to the tanbark, through a
wheel of his bicycle buggy collapsing.
The frightened mare made a circuit of
the arena before she was caught, and
the buggy was demolished. Mr. Lump
kin was unhurt.
The crowning feature of the last
night of (he show will be the colonial
ride, In which sixteen couples of At
lanta's most prominent young people
will take part. Dressed In the silks and
satins of great-grandfather’s day, they
will put their horses through a number
of Intricate maneuvers, keeping time to
the music of the band. The horses rid
den will be among the handsomest en
tered at the show, and this event Is
sure to draw the largest social patron
age of the series.
Thornton's Two Blues.
The real favorite of the evening was
Lady Pierce, the dashing brown mare,
which, ridden and owned by Austell
Thornton, pranced off with no less than
two blue ribbons and two handsome
cups,
Lady Pierce won the hearts of the
gathering from the start—In fact, had
secured a strong hold the opening night
by copping a blue ribbon and the Capi
tal City Club cup then, and at every
appearance received a burst of applause
from the congregation of beautiful fem
ininity and the escorts who formed the
background In the picture of gay and
well-attlred humanity that looked on
with unfeigned Interest and enthusi
asm.
Lady Pierce won the Piedmont Driv
ing Club cup and the Phillips A Crew
cup Wednesday night, thus taking off
first honors for the second evening of
the horse show.
The entries of Laurel Farm, of Gal
latin, Tenn., met with great favor In
the eyes of the Judges and the specta
tors, and as a result captured the blue
ribbon In the harness show class and a
white ribbon In the runabout class.
Miss Hilda Fletcher did all the driv
ing for the Laurel Farm entries, and to
her skill Is due largely the credit for
the success achieved.
Candy proved the "candy kid” In the
local pony class, and won the first
Prise, being ridden by little Robin
'Adair. Candy was entered by O. W.
Adair. Only boys 16 years old or leas
were allowed to ride In this class, and
the event proved Interesting.
The other prise winners were: Domi

Gross A Kleeberg, It was announced
that Arthur P. Helnse had been dropped

In the fight.
Well-Informed bankers In Wull

gamated Copper men. led by H. H.
Rogers, nud the Interests that have
centered about F. Augustus Helnse ever
since he rose to power In Montana by
successful combat on the local field
with the great copper magnates.
When Mr. Rogers, who, as the chief
manipulator of copper for tho great
Standard Oil Interests, cams to town

was believed that only the most urgent
business could have brought him. The
result. It is declared, Is apparent.
Chicago, III- Oct. 17.—E. H. Harrlman 1
today routed the Btuyvesant Fish
forces in a skirmish coup In the bat
tle for possession of the Illinois Can
tral railroad.
A hurry cell for a directors’ meeting
with only part but a majority of. the
directors summoned, ordered the books
of the Illinois Central held open until 3
o'clock this afternoon for the transfer
of stocks. This directly countermand
ed a previous order closing the books
until after the stockholders' annual
meeting.
Fish Rushed in s Cab.
Fish was In his apartments at the
Annex when he heard that- the directors
had been called. He rushed for a cab
and broke Into the meeting just before
it adjourned.
Fish's attorneys were not notified of
the hurry call for a meeting, and It
was only through the dispatch of mes
sengers did Fish manage to get Judge
Edgar Farrar to the session.
“A snap meeting," was the only com
ment that Fish would make. Charles
Beech, one of the directors, sat In a
room just below the directors, unaware
of tho meeting. Other directors knew
nothing of It.
Harrlman Urges Conference.
Meantime, Harrlman sat to one elds
and talked In advocacy of.a national
congress, of railroad directors, with
representatives of the press to find out
"what Is the matter with the railroads."
He urged an annual meeting to right
wrongs and redeem the railroad mag
nates and their lines.
Mr. Fish and Mr. Harrlman, both
confident and both assured of vlctoiy,
were In armed truce, while a proxy
committee struggled with tho gigantic
task of finding who's who In the great
railroad war.
An early morning conference was
held between Fish, William Nelson
Cromwell and Attorney Ralph Shaw,
the two latter representing Harrlman.
It was agreed that all proxies should be
double checked—first, by the proxy
commltee, and then. In caae of dis
agreement or uncertainty, yb the stock
holders themselves in their meeting.
