time. 1t will be brilliant spectacle.
Mr.. r. b. Phillips, one of the orig
inators of the show, stated this morn
ing that no vehicles not entered in
contests would be permitted inside
the park. so people going out in bug
gies and other convcyances will have
to tie their animals on the outside.
If they were permitted to drive in
side there would be no room for the
events, he explained.
A band stand was erected today
at Fourth and Broadway, where a
brass band will make music during
the day. The committee in charge OF
the music and other arrangements
proposes to have attractions down in
the city to entertain the visitors dur
ing the day as we'll as at night.
DR.. ]. b. CARRIER had his fine hors-
es down in the city again this morn
ing and brought them around to The
Sun Office for inspection. He has his
assistants in uniform and they and
the horses attract great deal of at
tention. 1t is probable that these will
be the only German coach horses at
the show. One of them is valued at
$4,000.
The buttons and badges for the
horse show have arrived and are on
sale at the office of Sec'y ID. w. Coons

1t has been decided that street COS
tune and not evening dress will be-
worn at the horse show, and common
sense endorses the decision as the
most sensible for the weather and the
open building. The gowns may be
as light and dainty as the wearer
wishes, and If the present cool wealth
err continues the always becoming
furs may be donned to lend charm
to The wearer and the dress. Furs
were worn In Louisville when the
Thermometer was quite high up ana
must be the proper thing for horse
show events.
