/ There will be ample accommoda-
ton for all who come to Norfolk dur
| ing the week of October 1921. The
Monticello, Atlantic and Neddo Hotels
already are making rates to outsiders
Manager Charles II. Consolvo, OF the
Monticello, is enthusiastic over the
outlook for the show Last year his
house was full during the entire week
and his was only one of the many
Norfolk enterprises which profited
largely by the presence of so many
people in the city. He has made ar
rangements) to accommodate a num-
Der of guests at the Monticello dur
ing the week and also sat the new
Pine Beach hotel, in which he is the
principal factor. If necessary, it is
understood, the OCEAN View hotel,
which is also managed by Mr.. Con-
solvo, will be reopened to accommo-
date the horse show rush. Before
the opening of the show the Algon-
quin hotel formerly the CRANKY. will
be ready for business. The smaller
hotels and boarding houses are get
ting ready for a busy wee and Wis
itors to the city will have no difficult
ty in finding all the accommodations
that may be needed. Norfolk is
famous as restaurant and dairy
lunch city and there will be plenty
to eat for the hungry.
Perhaps the busiest business man
in Norfolk to-day, in anticipation of
the show, is the ladies' tailor. All If
the houses engaged in making gowns
and dresses for woman have many or
derS ahead and are employing addi-
tional hands in order to turn out the
work in time. The special gowns are
for those who contemplate occupying

majority of women and men will go
to the show in whatever dress they
regard as appropriate without going
to additional expense and such a pro-
ccdure will be proper in every sense
of the word. The Norfolk Horse
Show cannot be said to be strictly
dress affair. The management has
no desire to have it known as such and
those who attend whether they occu-
Ply boxes or not will be cordially well
coined and courteously treated.
Look for 10000 Daily.
1t is expected that there will be
from 5000 to 10000 neople in the
coliseum nightly. OF this great num-
Der only a small percentage will 20
to the expense of providing special
gowns "a different one for each even
ing. The Norfolk woman, always
we'll dressed. will appear to advantage
anywhere and in any attire she
deems suitable and proper and in
this case she will be the judge and not
the dressmaker. The sale of reserved
seats will open at the Academy of
Music in a few days and there will be
a rush for choice locations that Will
be unprecedented there Most of
the boxes have been disposed of.
A few remain unassigned and

have not decided yet to whom
they will give them. Applications
for reservations are still being re-
ceived and it is anticipated that the
next week will sec the entire list COM
plete. After that the entire attention
of the officials will be given to the
sale of reserved seats and they hope
to dispose of every seat in the COLI
scum before October II.
