The Horse Show occurs this after.
noon Fair weather has been pre-
dicted for to-day and an immense
crowd will without doubt be present
to witness the exhibition of fashion
able turnouts and fine stock, in addi-
ton to the extra events arranged for
the occasion. Every arrangement is
complete, and if the show does not
prove one of the greatest successes
of any event ever given in the city
many will be badly disappointed. 1t
will be -Pensacola'S first attempt at
a Horse Show, but its success is with
, out a doubt, and the commencement
will lead to greater events OF similar
nature in future seasons.
Many Entries in Each Ring.
The books show many entries in
each ring. In fact in each class there
are from five to fifteen entries, which
shows to some extent the amount OF
interest exhibited by the owners OF
blooded stock and fine rigs. There
is only one class out Of the entire
J eleven in which there are no entries.
This is the ladies riding ring, and
this will be abandoned. In some OF
the classes it is expected that stock
|, from points outside the city will be
exhibited.

t Wyer's brass band will be on the
: grounds and will render appropriate
selections throughout the afternoon.

. Icasion, and will add much to its en-
joyment.

season On the southern tracks. The

Another extra feature that has
been added and which will prove Of
much enjoyment, especially to the
4 ladies and children, will be the edu-

L ing talk. Major Martin, the trainer,
will exhibit the wonder at the show.
