The horse show took over 5000 peo-
pie to the fair grounds again on Thurs
day night. While the equine display
did not carry as many features on
Wednesday, it was still a great sue
cess, and was given full need of ap-
! probation from the crowd. The pro-
gramme was not so long. Better

the result was decided improvement
The Banda Rosa was stationed on a
platform right down in front of the
grandstand. Everything was better.

maker. The crowd feels that it has
share in the display, and a say-so in
the judging. 1t applauds its favorites
with a vengeance and shows it's ap-
proval or disapproval of the decisions
of the adjudicators.
The band added feature which was
decidedly pleasing. Signor Sorrentino
acted like an American in that regard.
He followed almost every number on
his programme with an encore, which
meant that practically throughout the
entire time of the evenings show,
there was music in the air.
