Frederick and Bismarck on War

In his diary of the campaign Of 1866 the
late Emperor Frederick of Germany wrote
1T is a shocking thing to ride over bat
tlefield and II is impossible to describe the
hideous mutilations which present them
selves. War is really something frightful
and those who create II with a stroke
of the pen, sitting at a green cloth table,
little dream what horrors they are con-
Turing up" Bismarck once expressed him
self to the same effect and added: Had
It not been for me there would have been
three great wars the less, the lives OF 5000
men would not have been sacrificed and
many parents. brothers. sisters and widows
would not now be mourners. That, how
ever, have settled with my Maker"

Chance for the Work Horse.

Chance for the Work Horse.
The addition of the working horses to
the prize lists is a step in the right direc-
a greater interest among owners and drtv-
ers in the welfare and appearance of
their work horses, to induce more humane
treatment. to encourage better care and
perhaps more oats, to incite consideration
for the welfare and appearance of the
Omaha benevolent spirit moved the di-
rectors of the horse show to offer prizes
for this class of horses more than the
hope that it would add interest in the
show. Owners of draft horses are enthusing
over the plan and breweriess laundrymen,
bakers, grocers and other merchants will
enter in the heavy classes and also the
delivery classes.
One Of the classes which is very popular
in Omaha is the childrens pony class.
Probably no city of it's size in the country
can boast of more ponies ridden by the
children than can this city and it is right
and fitting that the directors should offer
suitable prizes as an inducement to the
boys and girls to get their ponies in the
best of condition and to keep them that
way While riding counts considerable In
the show ring in this class, still the ap-
pearance of pony goes long ways and
the judges are quite apt to look a second
time at the pony that has his coat brushed
until 1t shines and shows that 1t has had

LTHOUGH this is but the second
IN horse show for Omaha the people
Il of this vicinity must not think
k4BH that the horse show Is a new
SsSaS contrivance. As matter of fact
the horse show is very old game, but 1t
has only recently been thought necessary
to make a good clothes exhibit a part Of
the show. 1t really had it's origin in the
old horse fairs which Rosa Bonneur pic
tured so faithfully-apd likewise to such
pecuniary advantage. The first real horse
show where fashion cut any particular ice
was held in the reign of Charles I. II took
place at his country residence at Croydon,
eight miles from London. The practice has
been revived at various times up to the
present day and the British horse show of
modern time is conducted annually under
the direction Of the Royal Agricultural
society of England. It was literally pat
ronized by Queen Victoria and is now
supported by King Edward. The ribbons
are highly priced for the royal benediction
which they carry with them.
Twenty-three years ago this fall the first
show was held in New York at the sug-
gestion of some of the society leaders that
the principal families of the metropolis
be induced to gather to witness an exhibit
ton of the blooded animals. Ward Meal
lister was then the leader of the 400
and even he was not especially enthusiastic
over the prospects OF making the horse
show a prominent social function. Those
who really took hold of the scheme and
worked 1t to a successful finish were Berry
Wall King OF the Dudes" Mrs John
Jacob Astor, and Mrs. William II. Wander
bilt. Theodore Roosevelt, at that time a
citizen Of New York. was one Of the most
4nfa tod 30
cided to hold the affair at Long Branch
during the summer. Society was there in
force and stamped it with the seal OF ap-
proval. Since that time it is the real
smart thing for a city to have horse
show.
