Last Night Touches High Mark in Both
Attendance and Enthusiasm.
SOCIETY TAKES THE SHOW TO ITS HEART
Display on Promenade Equals that Made
in Ring During Evening,
LINCOLN PEOPLE SEEN IN THRoSss
Many Residents of Capital Honor the
Special Might by Their Presence
and Enjoy Part of omaha's
Prosperity.

Omaha may point with justified pride to
her second annual Horse Show, for the
event is proving more than even the most
sanguine officers OF the Omaha Horse Show
association had expected The Horse Show
has afforded an opportunity which is being
taken advantage OF in a royal manner. Its
established success is another stone in the
foundation of a Greater Omaha, and is
proving to the world that the Gate City
OF the west is on the fioodtide OF prosperity
in both commercial and social life. The
sight offered last evening at the Auditorium
was an inspiration 20 all who have at heart
the welfare of the city. 1t registered in
no small degree the pulse of this great and
growing commonwealth and set 4 new
mark in the short, but brilliant horse show
history Of the city. Never has a Horse
Show program in Omaha been so enthusiasts
tically received as the one last evening:
never has a similar gathering been so well
at ease in the habilments ordained for the
occasion and under the same environments.
While it has been said that Americans.
particularly those in the west, are not as
emotional as the French people, yet It can
mot be gainsaid that the Americans are
the quickest people on earth to adapt them
selves to the occasion. Give the average
! American the surroundings and he instantly
becomes part and parcel OF the same.
Omaha has become part and parcel OF the,
horse show.
New sign for the Auditorium,
At 9 o'clock last evening a sign reading
STANDING Room Only" was placed outside
of the Auditorium. which sign was so plain
that those who ran could read that every
seat in the large building had been sold
and that further admissions we're made on
the understanding that patrons would
stand, The IS r. O." sign was used last
evening for the first time since the opening
of the Auditorium. neat compliment TO
Omaha's second Horse Show. larger
| crowd than usual was on hand at the
| opening time, which is precisely o'clock
as stated in the program. Time, tide and
horse shows wait for no manor woman,
! for that matter. t
More genuine sociabfity was manifested
in last evenings assemblage than on the
other evenings OF the present season. II
was thought It would be hard to exceed the
| fine showing made Wednesday evening. but
| from every viewpoint last evening was the
! record breaker. Naturally the officers OF
! the association were much elated over the
success of the occasion and the out-of-town
exhibitors were unstinted in their praise

people I'm making the Horse Show a really
brilliant event.
The interest taken In the various events
was of a more intelligent character than
! previous evenings, showing that Omahans
are taking more than a cursory interest in
the show.
