A threatening sky and heavy. misty
atmosphere greeted the fifth day Of the
fall festival and horse show yesterday.
Tie sun made many noble efforts to pierce
its way through the clouds so that a fair
day might induce the largest crowd of the
week to witness the attractions at the
festival grounds and in the arena. but IL
remained hazy during the greater part OF
the afternoon. With the exception or
wednesday the largest afternoon crowd OF
the week witnessed the finals in the bron-
cho busting contests in the arena and the
crowd in the festival grounds was much
larger than anticipated The interest and
enthusiasm displayed demonstrated th3t
with fair weather there would not hate
been room enough in the horse show arena
to have accommodated the people who de-
sired 10 attend.
The weather last night was a little more
encouraging to the men who furnished the
financial backing for the enterprise end
a large crowd gathered at the horse show
and also on Festival Field There was
much interest displayed last evening by
local society because of the number OF
events for Indianapolis and Marion county
entries These events and the afternoon
card furnished one OF the best days of tho
week. In the afternoon Curtis Jackson
won the worlds broncho busting champion
ship, and Kruger, the South African pony.

jumping for ponies under fourteen hands
