When crimson and yellow pennants
flutter from the topmnst turrets of Me-
chanics' Pavilion every one will know
that the l0ng-expec.ed horse show Is
reality. Crimson aud yellow are the col
ors of the Horse Show Association, and
Wednesday, November IS, ct IL A. u, is
the time set for The opening.
Early yesterday morning 200 men were
set { work tearing out the old TO replace
with new, carting IF the gloomy rows of
benches and brushing IF the dust OF years
preparatory t. the grand transformation
of The great interior into the scene of
beauty, the vista of elegance and taste,
that will gladden. the hearts of the visitors
10 the first horse show ever given in San
Francisco. The thud OF the hammer and
the buzz of the saw was heard the livelong
dav; the plumber wandered aimlessly
hitting his favorite pipes and making his
little plum; the decorator flew around his
cGrps of assistants and the electric-light
man was busy stringing wires. Ii was as
busy scene IS one could wish to see,
and in 1t all. covered with the
dust of the fiyug debris. was the
president of the Horse Show Association,
Henry j. Croker. looking after the small
est detail. During the remainder of the

the boxes. nd all will be ready for the re-
ctption Of the entries by Tuesday morning
next. Not by any possible chance can any
hitch occur. and the management wishes
10 assure horsemen that they need not
Worry about receiving instructions for
shipping their horses, tue numbers of box
stalls ard If single stalls. The manage
me0t Is working night and day, and every
scrap of mail will be sent off not later
than tomorrow night.
There not being q doubt in the world
that the arTrngements viii prove salts
factory TO the public. the management is
equally sangujne that The show Itself will
mare than come up To expectations. 1t
has arrived al this happy frame OF mind
In nnmber OF ways. First, it has COM
pared il entries with those of the Chicago
Hur-e Show Association, which opens in
the Windy CITY on the same day, and fiuds

casual observer can easily Imagine that
tie Chicago association Tajner suffers by
the comparison. TIE only real crack
