Fine Show Draws Small Crowd on the Second Day.

The crowd at the horse show today was not large, being somewhat of a disappointment. The Show, however, was very fine, being for ponies and mules. All the Peck and Washburn ponies, a fine herd, were on exhibition. The mule entries were not so numerous as last year but the exhibits were very fine. The show Thursday was very classy. The driving animals were splendid and the contests were also fine. It was demonstrated that there are a number of expert horsewomen and the rivalry made it difficult for the judge, C. P. of Danville, 111., to select the winners. The prizes awarded since those announced in Thursday’s Evening Republican are: CLASS A. Light Harness Horses and Saddlers.
