Angeles Horse Show association VIII
begin Wednesday at Fiesta park and
close Saturday.
A program of great scope and en-
bracing every possibility for the horse
has been prepared and the flood of
entries has so far exceeded all eXpeC-
tations of the directors that the sue
cess of the show is assured beyond
question.
Entries closed March 81 and when
summed up 423 entries had been made.
All the events on the program are as
sured by the liberal entries and the an
ticipations of the association and the
public in this initial venture are di-
rected solely to the limit of the sue
cess which must accrue.
A huge tent has been erected which
covers the park from fence to fence,
and inside will he arranged every con-
venience calculated to promote the
comfort and pleasure of the audiences
during the show, and suitable decor
ations will enhance the appearances
considerably.
About one hundred stalls. open and
box, have been built and will be at
the disposal of exhibitors under the
conditions and rules of the association.
Two stables of candidates for horse
show honors and among the largest
stables that will be in attendance at
the first to be quartered at the park.
They are the property of Henry A.
Buffers of Santa Barbara and Mark S.
Severance, who shipped down from Ar
rowhead all of his dozen candidates.
Buffers string will be equally as
strong and among the entries of the
Santa Barbara member will be a road
four-in-hand team of admirably
matched horses which Buffers believes
equals anything ever shown in the
west.
Among the features of the exhibits
will be that of the polo ponies. and
all the events in which they will par
ticipate have filled in a surprisingly
good manner.
Riverside, Redlands, San Diego and
Coronado will contribute the majority
of the ponies to be shipped to Los An
geles carload being sent from River
side and Redlands, while another car
will come from San Diego.
Because of this large entry list in all
pony classes, Secretary Ashbrook has
added events to the original program
that all the ponies may be accommo-
dated witt the opportunity of winning
prizes and ribbons.

will be features of each performance.

mems races, egg and spoon races and
