The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-05-14

The first Birmingham Horse Show commences May 2e and lasts four nights.
 The horse show committee of the Elks 1 had meeting last night in the office of Chairman Meglemry and attended to a large amount of routine work, including many little details which have to be worked out by degrees.
 The reports showed that the entries for local classes are much larger than was expected and that a number of local horses are going to be in many foreign classes In which they stand a good show to win. The entries for foreign classes are coming In gradually, but as soon as it is definitely announced that the rail- roads will all give rates for expressing horses. 1t Is expected that number win come in from Kentucky and other horse show states.
 Grand Stand and Boxes.
 Work is being done on the grandstand and boxes at the fair grounds, and this will be completed in few days and the boxes placed on sale Other improve ments are being made about the grand stand and the track
 The matter of having a covered way from the street car line to the grandstand will be brought up and 1t Is probable something will be done This will be de- sirable in order to protect the ladies dresses in going to and from the cars.
 The associate committee and the horse show committee will have a joint meet ing tomorrow night. The prizes will then be distributed.
