The. Twin City horse show at the
state far grounds opens tonight for
the balance of the week with only the
possibility of weather conditions

nights, the presence of several thou
sand people and the animation of the
scene: Will be influences that should
dlspel any doubts as to this.

perfect for the holding of such show.
