SUCCESS OF COMING EXHIBIT SURE
Interest Aroused in the Omaha show
Far I'm Excess of That of Last
Year and Many More En-
tries Promised.

Local interest among the owners Of horses
is what the directors Of the Omaha Horse
show are working up and that they are
succeeding is very evident from the numer
Gus inquiries which are daily received by
Secretary Cowgirl. Outside inquiries are
also numerous especially for the new
classes which the directors have placed on
the prize list There are many fine stock
farms in Nebraska and for these the stall
lion class with their get was started. This
class is having the desired effect OF stimu-
lating interest in many of the towns OF the
state.
DR.. De Garmo Grey writes from Atlantic
City. where he has been putting on a sum-
mer horse show, that there is considerable
interest all over the east in the Big Four
circuit OF which Omaha is a member. and
that he is having no dificulty in securing
entries OF some OF the highest class horses
In the United States, attracted by the repu-
tation OF this circuit and by the liberal
purses which have been hung UP by the d.
rectors
Or. Grey has been engaged again this
fall as the general manager Of the show
and his unlimited experience, coupled with
the knowledge gained by the directors
from conducting one Of the most success
full shows Of the country last fall and the

in America will make all matters move
with smoothness and eclat.
Problems for Directors.
One dlfTicult problem confronts the d.
rectors and that is to put in the ring in
the Auditorium in the time allotted by the
management OF that institution who have
booked attractions so that but four days
will be left to accomplish the task of put
ting in the tan bark arena.
Efforts are being made by the executive
committee TO secure the same rates from
the railroads for the Horse Show as is
given to the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben for
the fall festival. Neither of these rates
have been announced up to date, but the
directors hope to secure a rate OF one fare
for Nebraska and the same rates for Iowa,
Kansas and Missouri where the rate is
less than S. The directors on their part
promise TO advertise the Horse Show ex-
tenslvely and to do all in their power to
induce people from all sections to visit the
greatest show in the west Many came
from afar last year and the number will
be doubled this fall, according to the d.
rectors. One Of the directors said mo
doubt the railroads will see the Importance
Of giving these rates asked and will see
the necessity OF helping the Auditorium and
the Horse Show which is in the nature OF
a public enterprise in which all are benz
flted II It is successful. Omaha received
more good advertising throughout the east
last fall by reason of the successful horse
show than from anything else that was
pulled off in Omaha last year"
Good Horses Coming.
with the circuit consisting of such we'll
known horse show towns as Louisville,
Omaha. Kansas City and Chicago the d.
rectors anticipate no difficulty in securing
the best horses that the country has among
the entries. The professional horse show
men are sure TO come, for the prizes are
large enough to attract them and personal
work on the part of the directors and DR..
Grey will secure some OF the stables Of the
wealthy owners who keep their horses
simply for the pleasure that they have in
owning fine horses.
The local classes will also be we'll filled
for the prizes in these are all good and are
in groups by themselves 80 that the local
owners do not have to compete with the
crack horses from abroad.
