!. SHOW BEST OF ALL
Attendance Figures D,ssppoint
Promoters, but They Will
Try Again

The annual horse show wound up in
a blaze of glory last night, successful
in every way but financially, and this
will not prevent w. G. CARING, who
backed the show with his money, from
treating the Twin Cities to another ex-
hibition of blooded horsefesh next
year.
When accounts are balanced" said
Col. CARING, I'VE will probably find
about $4,000 on the wrong side of the
sheet This will not deter me, however
from producing another show next sea-
son. | have met defeat three times
but will not give up. A horse show is
big thing, and 1 think that am en-
titled to a little success and will make
another try for it,
The show was great success from
every point of view but that of at
tendance, which was not as large a.
the quality of the performance meritad
The exhibitors are all pleased and
unanimously vote it success, and
think the people who have visited the
show think the same way"
Last nights performance was by far
the most interesting. All animals en-
tered in the various events were thor
oughbreds, spirited animals, and
showed up to their best advantage

High Jump the Feature
The high jump over hurdles was fhe
event Of the evening. Ten horses
owned principally by two rival Toronto
firms, competed in a lively manner fol-
the prize money, amounting to $3.50.
The jump began at A feet 6 inches
Nearlysa all the animals cleared the bars
until to the 6-foot mark, when they
began to fall out. The bar was steadily
raised, it being the intention of thu
management Of the show to have the
entries attempt to beat the worlds
high jump record of z fee
inches. At 6 feet inches
Myopia, Thistledown, Coquette an6
Senator alone remained. All clear
ed this height, but at feet the frs
two were counted out, they failing t.
take the jump. Coquette and Senator
cleared this height, but both failed al
the next, Z feet inches. The judge:
decreed that the first and second prizes
be divided between Senator and Co.
quette, both having cleared the same
height and falling at the next raise O.
the bar, and the third prize money be.
tween Myopia and Thistledown for thu
same reason.
When the bars were at their highes
several of the horses failed to cleal
them, falling thereon, stumbling ant
carrying their riders to the ground
Luckily no one was injured. Earle,
in the evening Luther Rogers, colored
riding Dixie Girl, a high school horse
was crushed beneath the animal. HI
was not injured seriously, though badly
bruised.
