ATTRACTS FANS TO THE AUDroRlUW
Horses, Thirty ip All, Arrive from

The arrival Of the stable Of superb horses
belonging to Lawrence Jones of Louisville
has taken perfect string Of horsemen to
the Auditorium where the Horse show will
open next Monday night Mr.. Jones
shipped his horses direct from ST. Louis 10
Omaha, saying he preferred to have his
horses all fresh for the Omaha show,
where he knew the battle for the honors
would be keener than at Kansas City, and
50 he skipped the latter.
The horses, about thirty in all, arrived
Friday morning, in charge Of W. b. Rob
erts, manager for Mr.. Jones' and all came
through in fine shape, carrying out by their
looks the splendid reputation which had
preceded them.f These are some OF the
cracks Of the country for it was Mr..
Jones horses which were relied upon at
Louisville last year to save the reputation
of Kentucky from Alfred Vanderbilt, who
had been taking the ribbons all over the
country. The string includes the heavy
harness and park horses. Gallant Lad and
Gallant Lord, Merry Mary, King Fashion,
Gladstone and Bill Smoke. Clementne is a
runabout mare of considerable note, and
among the saddle horses was noticed
Poetry Of Motion and High Lasse. These
horses have all been resting at St Louis
since that show, where they won many
ribbons
The wisdom OF the directors in making
the time for the reservation OF tickets
shorter than last. year has been shown by
the greater demand at all times for the
seats While the heaviest sale is noticed
10 be for Monday night still many are
picking out their seats for later in the
week Interest seems to center considerably
on the nights when the local women will
drive and ride
Roach with Pepper stables.
Pete Roach, the crack reinsman who was
here with the Pepper horses at tho two
previous Horse show, has joined the Pep
per stables again and will whirl the pairs
and fours around the arena Roach is a
perfect reinsman and also rides the
hunters over the bars.
When class No. is called Monday night
the Omaha patrons Of the Horse show will
be treated TO such a ring of horses as has
not been seen in the west. The prize was
made worth going after and the cracks of
the country are entered. The class is for
the best gig horse with a purse OF $500.
Among those entered is Mrs. Thomas Will
tons Bonnie Briar, which won the blue

Murray have. entered Honor Bright, the
crack. which won at Kansas City last
Tuesday night from Lord Baltimore the
crack Of the Watson stables. With such a
field as these, this event would be worth
the price of admission in itself 1t shows
the patrons of the show this fall will wit
ness keener competition and better horses
than we're shown in former years.
II. z. Whtmore has given two beautiful
prizes one for the best lady rider and one
