pected at Closing Program Tonight.

: Twin city society Will have it's last
view Of the horse show tonight. The
week has been notable one and those
in charge plan to make the concluding
program the best Of all. Despite the fact
that the weather has been against the
show from the point of comfort. the at
tendance has grown at each program
Tonight 1t is expected that the big tent
will be filed to overhowing. A more
notable collection Of horses has never
been gathered in the northwest. and
those who love thorobreds and correct
appointments should not fail to see the
show on it's last night.
Last night showed a better attendance
than Thursday night. and competition
ran high. Owners Of the big stables
were fighting for the awards and calling
into play every trick Of driving calcu-
lated to show their horses to the best
advantage. So close was the competi-
ton that the judges occupied an unen-
vfable position. The crowd picked its
favorites and at times were inclined TO
show little displeasure when the judges
did not agree with them. The judging
has been of an extremely satisfying ma
ture, altho In instances some exhibitors
have permitted their disappointment to
get the advantage@of their Judgment.
The tandem, team contest provoked the
greatest comment and enthusiasm of the
evening. Frank K. Bull of Racine, won
notable victory with Security and Divi-
dend over the Pepper stable. To make
the win more OF a victory it was over
