Farmers Day at the Horse Shtw.

Tuesday, May %, the opening day of the
Philadelphia Horse Show, will be observed
as Farmers Day. In order to make 1t es.
pecially attractive to agriculturists this
day will be devoted to tho exhibition of
thoroughbreds trotters, roadsters, saddle
horses, and breeders. Many of the finest
horses in the country of these classes have
been entered.
In addition to these features, which are
of vital interest to tho farmer, the show
offers many attractions which cannot fail
to command his appreciation. 1t has be-
come an Institution which few can afford
to neglect, and the devotion of a day to
the special interests of the farmer has
rounded out its absolute perfection as u
horse exhibition.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will sell excursion tickets to Wissahickon
Heights Station, including coupon of I'D.
mission, on Farmers Day from all subur-
ban bonts at greatly reduced rates. Those
tickets will be good for passage on that
day only.
