Mechanics Pavilion.
So society intends to CAPTURE the horse
show. There isuot a doubt about it. The
management may have had the idea of
making the horse the attraction. but it's
the same old story: mai proposes, but the
society woman will have her way. 1t may
be all very we'll for people to make the
horses an excuse for going to the big Pa
vilion. but it is not supposed for minute
that one would be so utterly stupid as to
devote most of his time to the eQunes.
Not much. The society matron. the IN
married belle and the dazzling young bud
will have come out to be looked at and
praised; to have their bewildering gowns
enyied and properly impressed upon the
minds of their deadliest friends; to make
the vapid young chapple dance unuttera-
Bile attendance on their slightest whims
and TO beam, only now and then, on some
stalwart, eligible parl. That's what the
charming matron and the dazzling belle
propose doing with the horse show. and
it's odds on they'll do about as they wish.
Seeing that there Is no opera season TO
open in San francisco at which the dear
creatures can show themselves and their
stylish gowns, it seems the horse show
comes at an opportune time. 1t Is the
chance for which San francisco society
has been waiting for years, and now that
1t is open not bit Of grass has been
allowed to grow under ladylike feet.
They propose to make IL a show of beautl-
full woman, decked in her finest, seen at
her best, with the horse as charming
background.
