known manager Of the Omaha Horse show
and veteran horse show promoter. who

has been in the hands Of st. Louis physi-
clans, who finally have decided that the
doctor will have to take to the table.
pronouncing his trouble as abscess Of the
stomach
Omaha affairs are in such shape that
while the doctor will be greatly missed
at this time, his assistant, Sam c. Haller
capable and veteran Snowman. who ls
proving himself to be the right man in
the right place, can handle everything
that comes up from this time until the
| doctors return. Mr.. Halter is an ex-
| perienced Snowman and knows all Of the
ms and outs OF the show world and is TAX
| ing hold OF the advertising branch OF the
| show with skill that shows a thorough
| knowledge Of the requirements.
Directors OF the show have made sew
erai short trips to Chicago, st. Louis and
Minneapolis and the results have been most
gratifying. Entries will be numerous and
of a high class, the $4,000 in cold cash
| being enough of an inducement TO bring
the best horses from all sections OF the
| country. While the dressmakers and
| milliners are all busy filling orders for the
horse show, all will not be dress at this
show for the horses will be there and some
OF the best in the country. This show is
not for the city folk alone, but also for
the country people and the residents OF
smaller towns. In fact there probably are
more real lovers OF the beautiful horse in
small cities than there are in the larger
one horses being more required where
| there are no street cars.
Arena f. Open,
The arena tor the Omaha Horse show
which opens at the Omaha Auditorium
October g. is in place and the local horse
men and women can now daily train their
horse for the show. There is vast diff
ference in handling a horse on a boulevard
and in the tan bark arena. In the parks a
driver has all of the room in the world, and
every thing is quiet, except for an &C.
cassional whiz wagon buzzing by. In the
ring, however, all is different. With thou
sands of electric lights, thousands of
spectators with the women all In gala
dress, the band playing and the people
promenading around the arena all tend
ing to Brighten the high spirited steed, II
| is no wonder that the nerves of the horse
sometimes give way and he bolts. The
eastern crack horses all becomes used to
this blare and care and to give the local
men chance to accustom their horses
somewhat the directors have built the
ring three weeks in advance.
A meeting Of the veterinary surgeons of
Nebraska and Iowa has been called for
October Il and Is for Omaha. This meeting
was called at this time by the committee
because Of the Omaha Horse show being
held during the week OF October O. II
was thought the Horse show would be an
extra inducement to bring out a larger
attendance.
