Omaha Horse Show brought out another
brilliant assemblage of fair women and gal
liant mon, From every point OF view the
occasion showed conclusively that the
Horse Show spirit is growing, in Omaha.
The attendance from purely box ONCE
standpoint was better than either Of the
previous evenings. and more than any night
last year, while from a spectacular con-
sideraton last evenings picture at the
Auditorium was superb
The patronage in the balcony was gen
erous and the mingling NJ the box patrons
In the promenade became more general as
the program progressed.
When Manager Halter looked over the
arena and boxes during the intermission he
said to a group Of friends do you know

When the splendid list Of horses were not
being driven over the tan bark many eyes
would be turned on tho myriad OF lovely
gowns and bright faces. The rhythmic

was one TO arouse the artistic tempera-
ment and drive away the shadows Of life.

the Horse Show stands for all that is cor

principles OF correctness. Precisely at 8

in the entire show. The poetry OF equine
motion, the mingling OF lights and coiors,
the rows of beautifully gowned women

The suggestion has been made that doc
tors leave their seat numbers at the Audi

the events no less than three local physi-
clans had their names called out in
stentorlan tones. which is not quite the
thing for a Horse Show. II may be a good
advertisement. but is rather chahng TO the
spectators.
A generous delegation came from Council
Bluffs and made the evening Council
Bluffs night in fact as we'll as fancy.
On Friday afternoon a matinee will be
given at popular prices. an admission OF
80 cents to be charged for any seat. Man

suading to get the directors to consent tc
this arrangement but Mr.. Haller feell
confident the Auditorium will be crowded
Friday afternoon. This will be Lincolr
night.
