CHANGED
FOR THE BIC
SHOW
September % Fixed as the
Date of the City's First
Horse Exhibition.

On account of numerous requests OF
owners. both in and out of the city,
those behind the movement to give an
up-to-date horse show in Pensacola, yes
terday decided to change the date OF
the event to Sept. 2S, instead of the
21st, as previously announced thus al
lowing those desiring to enter horses
more time in which to get their animals
into condition.
When it was announced in The Jour-
nal yesterday morning that the date OF
the big event had been set for Sept.
81 there were requests from various
parties for an extension of time, several
stating that the time allowed was not
sufficient to place the stock in the con-
dition desired for such an event. Let
ters from out-of-town parties, who wish
to enter horses In the show, were re-
ceived asking for particulars and re-
ferring to the short time given to pre-
pare, so the association decided to
change the date and make IL Sept. 2S.
one week later, which will give all ample
time in which to prepare their stock.
The promoters of this event are meet
ing with much encouragement, and in
dications point to it being lone Of the
society event of Pen acola, and on a
much more elaborate scale than first
anticipated by even those who started
the movement. Ks
The selection Of suitable committees
is now demanding attention, and as soon
as completed they will commence the
work assigned them, and by the date
named everything will be in readiness.

What do you think Is the meaning
Of that letter."
us not it possible to construe
Walsh's meaning to be that IL Bryan
becomes the nominee under the Demo

subscribing the individual to corrupt
corporations and boss control?"
We'll" replied Judge Parker, "you
might put such construction on what
is said in the letter If you wish to do
SO but I hardly feel that / want to
dignity Mr.. Walsh's letter by constru-
ing it or making a formal statement.
Really at this time it hardly seems
worth while"
what about the statements he
makes about Mr.. Sheehan?"
Judge Sheehan is my partner and
friend. and I know that IL he thinks
the letter is worthy of comment or
answer, he is quite capable OF speak
ing for himself.
