NOT TO DECIDE FOR FEW DAYS

According to the statement made by
President J. r. Anderson, Of the Rich
nond Horse Show Association, last
night, the question of site is still unset
tied and may not be determined tor a
day or so. Mr.. Anderson. when seen by
representative Of the Times, said: I'VE
have nothing we can give you now upon
the location of the building, as that
matter is one which for several reasons
will have to be held open for a day or
so at least. We have several sites Of
ferred, he said. land as many PROPOSE
tons to consluer."
It is known, however that as many
as three locations have been offered for
the great auditorium which shall take
he place of the one so recently burned
Power Company, just east OF the Aqua
rama, at Reservoir Park; by the West
End Electric Park Company. just at the
rear of the Aquarama, fronting on the
drive way around the Reservoir lake;
and the site of the old building, offered
by Messrs John l.. Williams & sons.
THE PROBABLE SITE.
OF these it seems more than likely that
the site offered by the Passenger Is Power
Company will be the one accepted. inc
advantage of this location is, that it IS
probably the most accessible, beng at
the terminals of the Main. Gay ana

Of the conference was not made public. Ii

to erect a permanent buildlng-one 'ha'
may be used for other purposes IMAM th'
Horse Show, where large gatherings
must needs be accommodated. ana Tor TINS
reason the question of its location is DC
ing well considered.

noon. things are being held up for a time
awaiting plans of the building, which will
