NOW FOR THE HORSE SHOW!
Dress Parade Of the Great Exhibit,
Which Opens To-Day.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE dress parade
for the annual horse show, which opens
tomorrow morning in Madison-square Gar
den, was held to-day, and everything is
now in readiness for the event. 1t will be
the fifteenth show in number, and indica-
tions point to an even more successful eX-
hibition than any previous one has been.
This year the entries are more numerous
than for any previous show. In the list Of
competing owners there are more than sixty
newcomers. The amount of prize money is
greater, and there has been an increase
in the number of classes. In fact. the cata-
logue Is so much more voluminouS than
heretofore that IL has been found necessary
to begin judging at an earlier hour each
day, in order that the judges may have a
chance Of making daily awards at a rea-
sonable hour every night.
1t is the custom of the directors of the
National Horse Show Association to enter
tain at luncheon, the day preceding the
opening of the show, the more prominent
owners and exhibitors and the newspaper
representatives. More than two hundred
persons partook OF. the hospitality of the
was served to-day in the restaurant of the
garden. After luncheon the party adjourned
to the arena, where most of the equine
beauties which will attract the crowds this
week were paraded. Before the horses were
put through their PAGES the pleasing GER
emony was observed Of having the small
army of ring attendants. stabemen and
grooms all dressed in distinctive costumes,
march around the ring, headed by a bugler.
Nearly every stall in the stable down stairs
was occupied, and fresh arrivals were con-
stantly coming in during the afternoon.

kOkOMO, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE surprising
developments of the last few months in
the Loogootee gas and oil field have been
no less interesting from the official stand
point Of the state gas office than from the
commercial view. State Inspector Leach,
when asked to-day for an expression of
opinion in regard to the field, said: There
is both natural gas and oil at Loogootee.
Since the discovery of natural gas at
Petersburg about two years ago a number
OF wells have been drilled in that part of
the State. Loogootee is about twenty-five
miles northeast of Petersburg near the
western edge of Martin county. The first
we'll at Loogootee was drilled about 1 200
feet deep. AT a depth of 500 feet indica-
lions of both gas and oil were noticed One
eighth of a mile east of this another well
stopped in a thin sandstone. 1t produces
about one-thfrd of a million cubic feet of
gas daily at a pressure Of 200 pounds. Two
wells have been drilled on line due east of
the second we'll about one-eighth of a mile
produces about one-half million cubic feet
daily. The last and fourth well drilled in
addition to small gas production, Is pro-
ducing about twenty barrels OF oil per day
The gas and oil is found in the same sand
stone in all the wells. They are all. ex-
cept the first one, about 500 feet deep and

takes its origin in Omaha, as w. A. Saun-
ders, an Omaha lawyer, leaves here in few
days for Butte, Mont, to file the will for
probate.
Andrew j. Davis was one of the most con-
spicuous of the wealthy men of Montana,
