There is but one desire on the pant OF
the people who are attending the show.
That is. that the exhibition be made per-
manent. 1t was stated authOritatively
that the owners of the Auditorium had
agreed to demolish the present fame
building and erect on the site a steel
structure especially adapted to the uses
to which it is now being put. OF course,
this offer is conditioned upon the Horse
Show Associations agreeing to have an
exhibition every year There is believed
to be no doubt that it will do so. 1t is
believed that the receipts OF the show
this year will not only save the corpora
tors harmless, but that they will divide
an exceedingly comic able dividend.
