HORSE SHOW
THERE WILL BE FORTY-SEVEN,
MOSTLY FOR LOCAL ENTRIES.
Bit and Bride Club an Adjunct to
the Horse Show AssOciatiOn-A
Meeting Held.

There will he forty-seven classes I'm the
Indianapolis Horse Show, to be given the
week of Sept q, at Senate avenue and Six
teenth street The majority of the classes
will be for local entries exclusively. The
foreign classes, but all local turnouts will
be admitted to them.
This year the indianapolis Horse Show
Association is going to pay more attention
to horses than to vehicles. The classes last
year were divided about equally, almost as
much attention being given to vehicles as
to the horses. But this plan did not meet
with much favor from Indianapolis ex-
hibitors and contestants. and the associa-
ton decided at its meeting yesterday after
noon at the Merchants Exchange rooms to
change the plan this year and judge the
local events, especially, largely from the
beauty and fine qualities of the horses, and
pay less attention TO buggies and equipment.
The classes were completed yesterday and
are in the hands of a printer. They will
be ready for distribution next week.
The members of the association want to
impress ii upon the people of Indianapolis
that they are arranging for horse show
for the home people, and that the local
exhibitors are the people whom the associa-
ton will try most to satisfy. No foreign
turnouts will be allowed in the local ex-
hibits. but all local people will be allowed
to enter the foreign classes. And in the
foreign events, as well as the local, horses
will receive most attention. This will be
done in the effort to give a show that will
be essentially for Indianapolis people. If
the foreign classes should be left as they
were last fall as much attention being
given the equipment as the horse, Indian
apois exhibitors could not make as good
showing with the foreign exhibitors as
they will under the new plan.
Invitations are being sent to members Of
the Horse Show Association, which has
about fifty stockholders now to Join the
Bit and Bride Club. The club has been
organized within the last week. No one
but a member of the Horse Show Associa-
ton will be allowed to join. Those who
are members of the Bit and Bride Club
will have the privilege of reserving two
seats for every performance of the Horse
Show. And they will have other privileges
in the affair that those who are not MEM
bers of the club will not have The direct
ors OF the Bit and Bride Club are Harry
s; New. Hugh j. MCGOWAN and J. K.
Sharpe.
The executive committee of the Horse
Show Association has ordered new tent
for the show. which will be larger and
finer than the tent under which the show
last year was given. The ring this year
The Horse Show badge this year will be
of red and white baby ribbon. The badge
will be small bow to be fastened to an
ordinary button. The association has or
dsred LOCO badges There will be Horse
Show bracelets this year also. These will
be made of harness clasp and ribbon. The
bracelet will be known as the Mrs. Jack
Gardner bracelet.

Fighting CANAL TREATY
OPPONENTS OF THE COLOMBIAN CON-
GRESS ARE FILIBUsTERING.
Hope to Postpone Action Until Time
for Ratification Expircs-No News
from Minister Beaupre.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Advices have
oeen received from Bogota to the effect
that the opponents OF the canal treaty,
fearing to ALLOW the treaty TO come TO a
definite vote in the two houses, and wishing
not to assume direct responsibility for its
rejection. have decided to fiiibuster until it
is too late for notifications TO be exchanged.
which must be before September.
Some surprise is expressed at the State
Department that no reply has been received
from Bogota to several important cable
grams sent to Mr.. Beaupre. the American
minister, some time ago. There is a war on
between the Colombian government and the
cable company controlling the cable am
communication is suspended, but the State
Department made arrangements with the
company for the transmission of these
cables TO Mr.. Beaupre and for his reply.
1t was expected the latter would be forth
coming early this week. and the delay
causes suspicion that perhaps the Colon
bian government, which controls the land
lines from Bogota to Buena Ventura, has
refused to transmit the messages coming
over the cable company's lines I'm retaliation
for the cOmpanys course. In view OF the
fact that the subject of Mr.. Loomis's cables
was most urgent and the President was
deeply interested in the reply, IL was hoped
the Colombian government would cooper
ate in the rapid transmission OF the mes
sage.

Reductions in the prices of summer waists
are delightful, from the purchasing stand
point, at least. An exceptionally pretty
waist of fine lawn, with front of hand
some embroidery, Is $l.9S, instead Of $3.50.
The reductions are not always in the same
ratio however, for a good-looking waist
which is now marked $2.4S was originally

the yard clerk where he lived.
The child was then taken to the police sta

The Coming Skirt.

New YORK sun.
The difficulty of shaping an old skirt into
a new one is thing that is exercising many
feminine minds, for the trotteuse, or French
walking skirt, is a thing accomplished, and
gradually, all skirts. save those for dress
occasions, are shortening and taking on
round line. Even this statement is hardly
radical enough; for, while long, trailing
skirts are still the favorites for evening
wear, many frocks intended for elaborate
functions are now made without train
being cut round and merely sweeping the
floor.
To shorten skirt may seem an easy mat
ter, but the extreme width required at the
bottom of the round skirts makes it prac-
tically impossible to do all the shortening at
the bottom, and sadly complexities the max

tory method of alteration in most cases is

The corset skirt of many cores, which has
followed the corset coat of from sixteen
to twenty cores, is a good round skirt or
