1t Is expected to make the great
horse show to be held in the f0ll OF
next year at this Exposition quite as
spectacular and interesting as those
held in New York. On this occasion
the finest bred animals Of the Ameri-
cas- will be brought together to COM
pete for honors and the favor of the
public. ffyA
The show will be held in the
Stadium, which is to be the great
show place Of tho Exposition, having
seats for more taan 10000 and a track
n quarter Of a mile in circumference.
While a general display of horses
will be made at this show, of particular
interest will be the animals adapted to
the uses of fashionable society, such as
saddle horses and ponies tandem driv-
ers, hunters, jumpers, polo ponies, cou-
pc and coach horses, four-in-hands,
trotters and runners. The show will
include many costly equipages and
novel turnouts that are used with the
finely bred i, animals that will be
brought forward to delight the public
eye.
Superintendent +. A. Converse of the
Live Stock division has planned to ac-
commodate 1000 horses in the exhibit
of American bred animals. The breeds
that will be recognized are Standard
bred, Thoroughbred. French coach.
French trotters, Cleveland bay. Olden-
burg. etc. Belgian, Hackney, Morgan,
Arabs, Percheron. Clydesdalc. English
rhire, French draft. Suffolk. Punch,
Shetland ponies. Jacks and Jennets.
This will be The occasion for bringing
together thd finest animals bred on the
western continent. While the trolley
car and the automobile have relieved
the horse Of much Of his drudgery. he
continues to occupy a distinctive field
Of work in the general economy. The
tendency OF the times. too, is TO pro-
duce better animals
The cheap ear horse has TO n large
extent gone out. and scientific breed
ing is replacing the common stock
with horses of higher intelligence and
SlutltlNA nc tAljClitnNt VI many
breeders during the introduction Of the
trolley car and the flooding of the mar
ket with cheap horses was discourage
ing. and large number turned their
attention to other lines Of work.
The situation, however. is considera-
bly, improved. and prices are again
more nearly what they should lie. The
interest in breeding is regulated by the
pecunary reward, and the improved
demand lends new attractiveness to
the breeding and training of horses
The demand for horses in cities contin-
ties brisk. particularly for draft ami
mails such rs the Clydcsdale and the
percheron, and Cor gcntlemens driving
and coach horses.
The Live Stock division of the Pan.
American Exposition will offer 20
breeders an opportunity to place be
fore the public high bred, stylish, good
netting horses with n view of showing
what particular crosses are advan'
tagaous in producing such animals.
Experiments have been made with 4
vtpw of producing large standard bred
hoIses with the most admirable re-
~eHfts.
Another feature will be an exhibit
Of horses adapted for cavalry purposes.
The extraordinary demand. for cavalry
horses within the last few years has
brought to the attention of breeders
the wisdom of producing type of
animals having the qualities that the
cavalry service requires. Not only has

ers have frequented the American
markets and purchased many animals
for the armies of other countries. Sew
eral large breeding establishments are
already turning their attention to the
raising of cavalry horses. With the
great number of horses that will be
brought together at the Pan-American
Exposition the visitor will have an
opportunity seldom equaied to make a
particular study of this line of breed.
