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 no, second prise, owned and ridden by ALL HOPE ABANDONED FOR JUDGE J. W. AKIN; LEFT SIDE PARALYZED President of Georgia State Senate Re ported Dying.
