from Abroad.

ENTHUSIASTIC OVER PRoMls.

HELD At kUPFRIANs PARK
AND THERE WILL BE RACES IN
CONNECTION.

II the present movement meets
with the encouragement that 1t should
Pensacolians will have the pleasure
within the course of the next few
weeks, of witnessing a horse show
given under the auspices of the Pen
sacola Driving Association. and If the
plans OF the association are followed
to the end, the event will be one
worth travelling hundreds of miles to
witness. The movement was inauglr-
ated yesterday by some of the moving
spirits OF the association and much
announcement was received from
those who were approached with prop
osftions to enter their fine animals in
some of the classes.
The plans are yet in embryo, but
1T is the intention to have the event
during the course of the next month
at Kupfrian's Park. Only one day or
afternoon will be consumed there
being perhaps eight Or ten classes In
which horses can be entered. These
will probably be gentlemens road
horses, saddlers. combination road
and saddle horses, light and heavy
l.pairs, ponies IN saddle and harness
ladies harness rings and probably one
or two other classes. Committees
and judges will be selected from
among the prominent young men of
the city, and everything possible done
to make the event a success.
To make the event more interesting
It is probable that speed contests
will occur between each prize contest.
There are a large number of fine
animals owned in the city, many hav-
ing recently arrived here, and If the
owners enter them in the horse show
the event will be grand success. In
cidentally it will be the first horse
show in this city, although they are
held annually in many Southern
cities, and it ought to create unbound
ed interest in fine stock
The members of the Driving Asso-
citation will do everything in their
power to interest Pensacolians In the
promised event, and If their present
plans materialize there Is no doubt
of its successful contamination. 1t will
no doubt draw large crowds to the
city from various towns and cities
in this section. as even the races Of
the association are we'll patronized by
parties from out of town.
