North, not in the abuse of the North
by the South, not in condemning the
negro, nor in the negroes cursing the
white man, not in colonization, not in
deportation, not in amalgamation or
education, put in honest, sympathetic
cooperation between the races.

HORSE SHOW Is PLANNED
MERCHANTS INTERESTED MEET AT
THE COLUMBIA CLUB.
@. De Garmo Gray, Kansas City Pro-
moter, Gives Estimate of Cost
Date and Site.

The committee OF business men. OF which
Frank NJ. Murphy is chairman. recently
appointed bva II. p. WATSON to investigate
the feasibility of holding another horse
show this fall, talked the matter over last
night at the Columbia Club with Mr.. C.
De Garmo Gray. of Kansas City. and re-
ceiyed his of the probable ex-
pense. Nothing definite was decided on by
the committee and the estimates and sug-
g~estions given by Mr.. Gray will be sub
mitted to merchants interested in the
project.
1t is thought. however. that a horse show
will be held and that. IL conditions are fav-
CRADLE. IL will exceed in every way the
initial show of last year. The horse show
or 1903. IL given. will probably be under a
big tent the week of Sept. n. This will be
the week Immediately following the Indiana
state fair and Immediately preceding the
Louisville horse show. 1t is certain that
the entries will be more numerous and Of
higher class IL this date Is chosen.
considerable sentiment has developed
among the merchants against using the
circus grounds at Washington street, and
the grounds at Capitol avenue and Six
feenth street were talked of last night as a
possible site for the horse show. These
are details which will be settled at later
conferences OF the merchants interested.
An estimate or cost was given by Mr..
Gray In a general way 10 meet general con-
oitions- Last year. while the entries from
other cities. particularly the Ashbrook
horses and vehicles. from Kansas City, the
White outft. OF Cleveland, and the Palmer
entry or Denver. were excellent in every
way. there was a feeling that there should
have been more OF the representative exhib-
itors OF the country in the indianapolis
meeting. II is probable that the prizes for
the high-class entries will be increased and
every inducement offered them 10 come TO
Indianapolis.
There Is a strong feeling among the mer-
chants that since Indianapolis has taken
Up the horse show project and has scored
a success with the initial attempt. even
under the most unfavorable conditions, that
the later should not be allowed TO drop.
Just one thing marred the horse show of
last year-the weather. IL was miserable
and cut into the financial success OF the
meeting. With good weather this fall the
horse show should not only be successful
from the standpoint OF exhibitors, and So
cially. but financially as well.
