ANNUAL HORSE SHOW OPENS.

New York Society Hobnobs with the Dock-Tailed Ne<«. Swell New York society again set its seal of approval upon the annual horse show, which opened at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night in a blaze of light and a vision of beauty. All of the 400 were there, and the costumes and display of diamonds and jewels was gorgeous enough to satisfy the most devout worshiper at fashion's shrine. The horse was there, too, in about the usual number and with his tail banged. The first night of his exhibition was a great success.
