.EQUINES OF HIGH
DEGREE ARRIVE
FOR HORSE SHOW
Stables of A. E. Ashbrook,
Thomas Bass, August A.
Busch, George Pepper and
Jack Cudahy Are Here.

Local equine society was thoWn into
f1utter of excitement yesterday by
the arrival of a number of distinguished
visitors and prospects of the arrival
of great many more today. 1t is safe
to say that never before has there been
so large gathering of horses of high
breeding and aristocratic station in this
city as there will be this week for the
horse show
Every recognized class of show horse
Is included in the entries, and among
them are many animals that are ia
nous throughout the country wherever
the horse show is known. A number
OF the favOriteS Of the show of last year
Will compete again, but this year they
may lose their proud places, for among
the new candidates are a number of
fine animals.
Even now it is clearly assured that
competition in nearly all classes will be
more keen than last year. not only be-
cause of the much larger number Of
entries from among the prominent
show stables outside the city, but also,
in part, from the fact that those resi-
dents of the twin cities who have really
fine animals have prof1ted from ex-
perience in the art of showing horses,
which in itself is a great advantage.
Then, too, the game has grown in favor
and many local owners of fine horses.
who formerly hesitated, have entered
them this year.
Ashbrook's Stable Arrives.
A great many of the out flown
horses have already arrived and are
now dom1ciled for the week A. E. Ash
brook, of Kansas City, who is one Of
the most extensive exhibitors, as he
was last year, arrived yesterday with a
stable of twenty-five horses of all kinds,
from the heavy park pair to the polo
ponies, and every description Of equip
age from the four hand coach to
the gig.
Mr.. Ashbrook has stabbed his horses
in the barns at Hamline rack track, and
each day will bring over to the Licking
ton park grounds only the horses en-
tered in the programme for that day.
This will also be done by some others
of the heavy exhibitors, for although
stable room for nearly $50 horses has
been provided at The park, it will not
accommodate but small proportion
OF the animals that will participate in
the show.
Mr.. Ashbrook will show two four-in-
hand teams, one Of which is particular
ly source of pride to him. 1t consists
OF horses of the necessary weight for
coaching work, but bred from running
stock for speed and named after Mr.,
Ashbrook' S own whimsical style "Sen-
h7ctSAOAA anu OS1i Och dIU fIlrC' ana
Filtration" Among the other horses
brought by Mr.. Ashbrook this year are
American Beauty, the high school mare
that was SO much admired last year;
new carriage pair of high steppers
called Fox and Coon, a tandem team,
Th1SteldOWn and Roulette; the gated
saddle horses Bon Bon and Artist Rex,
the single park drivers Mary and
Louise and The Crisis; the Jumper
Beautiful Henry, and a number of
others, including different styles of
drivers and several polo ponies.
Other Famous Stables.
Thomas Bass, of Mexico, No. who
has seven entries on the programme.
also arrived yesterday, and this morn
ing Will be settled in the quarters as
signed him at the park. Mr.. Bass
brings the gated saddle horses Dixey
Girl Richmond, Squirrel, Jack O. Dia-
monds, and several others.
August A. Busch, of st. Louis. came
yesterday and his horses will arrive
today. Mr.. Busch has twenty-one en-
tries in the different classes and will
show team in the four-in-hand class.
He has not yet named the horses he
will show in any of the classes in which
he is entered, but he has entries in the
tandem and carriage classes of differ
ent styles, and as he is the owner of a
number of valuable horses, he is looked
upon as formidable competitor.
George Pepper, Of Toronto, Can, who
is celebrated throughout the continent
as a breeder of Jumpers, has arrived
IN the city with his horses and will
take them to the park today. Beside
his jumpers, he has a number of other
fine animals, among them Parader and
Creighton, the carriage pair shown
here last year by G. E. Palmer, of Den
yer, and up to that time unbeaten; and
also the high school horse Macdonald
