SHOW WARNS UP THE HUGE CROWD
Animals and Owners Enter Into
Spirit of the Occasion FulIy.
Whether blow from horses hoOf untimely
laid me fiat,
whether from born antipathy, as some
dislike n cat,
1 ne'er as yet could bear the sight from
Meaux's giant steed
Down to those bearish cubs OF shetland's
shaggy breed.
The above was written before the date
OF Horse Shows in Omaha, and would never
have been written by anyone who was In
attendance at the fourth nights perform
ance of the second Omaha show, for he
must have been lacking in the qualities
which go to make the best type Of man
who could not enthuse over the array put
on exhibition in the arena Thursday night.
Orson Moulton, dean of horse show
judges, waxed enthusiastic as he glanced
over the magnificent assemblage present on
Lincolns night at the show. He said
Omaha may well feel proud of the record
It has made In the horse show world and
am afraid some Of the citizens don't APP
preciate the good that a successful Horse
Show does for a community. The associa-
ton worked in absolutely the right direc-
ton IN all lines, especially when the same
oficers were elected for the second year.
These directors are right on hand looking
after every detail just as II 1t was his
own private business. A show is bound
to succeed under such management.
never was treated SO royalty In my life,
and 1 hear all visiting judges and ex-
hibitors speak In the same strain have
Judged seven times at the Madison Square
show and at other shows around the
country too numerous to mention, but
never saw a show run as smoothly as this.
II also notice considerable Improvement
in the rigs seen on the streets, which Is I'M
doubtedly due 20 the Horse Show. The at
tendants Of the local owners notice where
improvements can be made. Time was
when these professional horsemen could
come west with any kind Of skates. as Ions
as they had their tails locked, and get the
money, but times have changed, and they
now realize that they must have nothing
but the best II they expect to get in the
money. That Sporting Duchess and Show
Girl that Murray won the housekeeping
class with would easily auction off in New
York for 5000 One has record OF ShI
and as a pair could easily go in 2:5."
Murray's Little jest.
The real fun of the evening was furnished
by. Murray the Funmaker, who was dared
to walk around the ring promenade with a
sign on his back. AS the irrepressible Muir
ray was never known to take dare he did
the stunt Arranging with one of the visit
ing girls from Chicago to have her wear a
long bridal veil they marched around the
room during the intermission, Murray wear
ing a sign on his back which read, do not
disturb us. This Is our honeymoon" The
young woman had a funny skypieee, with
the long veil concealing her features, and
all eyes were turned upon them as they
walked, but none could tell who 1t was as
no one was In the secret. The young woman
has been attracting considerable attention
by her gowns and hats during the week.
The initial number on Lincoln night was
for the best pair OF high steppers' and
brought forth the best the stables could
produce. The steppers were put around
the ring at a terrific clip, Murray setting
the pace and the Others being forced to
follow. On the strength of their high
stepping qualities and the fact that they
showed the best action Snow Girl and SPORT
ing Duchess won the blue. the two Creigh-
tons Of the Pepper stable were second and
w. H. McCord third with his Storm Queen
and Tempest. ~, -
Four horses appeared in the single pacing

upon Teddy Roosevelt, owned and driven
by Don Riley of st. Joseph. Teddy lie a
