The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-10-16
All the Rings Were Well Filled With Stylish Horses and
 Elegant Equipages
MORE HORSES ARRIVE
 FOR REST OF WEEK
Rings for Balance of Week Promise to Be Even Larger Than Those Last Night With Many
 Other Entries.

The third annual horse show opened last night brilliantly
 A striking feature of the opening was the fact that every ring shown was well filled with animals and eauipages as hand some as are to be seen anywhere in the country.
 Society was well represented, every box being filled with beautifully gowned wom- en and men in evening dress. watching the well groomed equines of blue blood in the brilliantly lighted arena below.
 While the boxes were well filled. the remaining portion of the grand stand was almost empty. The hundreds and thou sands that the fair association had req son to believe would attend, failed to go to the horse show, probably on account of the chilly night air
 There were from eight to twelve entries in every ring which last night and to- is probable that many classes will have as many as twenty entries, as many as the arena can well accommodate.
 The Birmingham horses are carrying off many of the prizes in all classes, and the indications are that unless there are some large additional out-of-town entries. the Birmingham horsemen and owners will get a majority of the ribbons.
 -1'he cool weather last night had a bad effect on the crowd and prevented the enthusiasm that usually accompanies the horse shows in Birmingham. But not withstanding the fact that a large num- ] io.. the show, and the enthuasm increased to- wards the end in a marked degree.
 Kopps band of Cincinnati furnished an excellent musical programme. The num- bers varied from artistic compositions to rag time The band includes number of soloists, and the applause was hearty after each number last night.
