Around the tanbark ring society gathered
last night for the third time this week
and the evening was. II possible, more bril-
liant than the previous ones. Some new
faces were there, with most OF the old,
and new comers and Horse Show hahitues
seemed to enjoy themselves alike. Il Is a
thing that grove on one, this pleasure OF
the show. and each succeeding night and
each succeeding show seems more charm
ing than the last.
The attendance was the best 80 far this
season. the boxes and the seats of the lower
floor being filled. as usual while scarcely
place In the balcony was left vacant
For popular priced seats there was a gen
erhl demand. such demand that II a few
more people come tonight the standing
room only sign win OF necessity be hung
at the entrance
BY far'the, most gratifying result OF the
three nights OF the show was the capture
by Nebraska animal OF the blue ribbon
In the hunting class. The lucky mare was
Gaiety Girl of Arhor lodge, Nebraska City.
and her proud owner is Joseph Cudahy OF
Omaha. who rode her She won in com
petition with some Of the best hunters OF
the world, among them Pearl, the cham
pion jumper owned by weatherbee of New
York.
Praise from Judges.
The excellence of the show. the good at,
tendance and the evident interest and en-
thusiasm were frequently the subject OF
private remark among the judges. you
have here" said one OF them to a member
of the Horse Show association. what
call real Madison Square Garden show.
And that crowd of eager spectators there
tells me you have, real town. as Tar as
love OF the tanbarlS IS concerned" The
man 10 whom these remarks were ad-
dressed having seen the New York ex-
hibition many times itself, emphatioaily ex-
pressed his agreement

promenade and glance here and there
az the boxes showed so many faces from
across the river that no doubt was pos
sible It was Council Bluffs night. Mayor
Donald AIacrae was among the many.
Enthusiasm at the show grows with the
week Monday. while the spectators
showed the warmth Of interest along to-
ward the last. yet in the early part cf the
evening many deserving entries were given
chilly reception. simply because the real
spirit Of the show had not been born That
spirit il now a lusty one. last night So
kciety lost no chance TO applaud its favorits

a new horse Of merit made its debut IN tho
ring society was not slow 20 accord It the
recognition it deserved.
Woman was queen IN the ring as wen a.

woman managing a spirited animal is in

brought an expression OF the warmest en-
thusiasm from boxes and balcony alike.

Z public il is always the unexpected that
i Murray does, and his sallies intensely

"call him down." just smiles at the boxes
and drives on with queer. ehaIacteristic

judges gave him the blue ribbon IN the

unmatched pair and the disapproval shown

gest ovation to Muiray as hs rounded the
ring with second prize, must have made the
I Judges at least uncomfortable. The cash
prize was the biggest one Of the evening.
EveFything on Time.
One remarkable feature is the promptnoes
with which the show begins and ends
While the last event on the program may
+ BE- few minutes later than the scheduled
/ time, the whole evening runs along pras-
tically as mapped cut and this h gTatlfy-
! ing indeed when It Ia reoslled that Ia the
hrst year OF the show the progfam Tad on
several occasions dragged out a half hour
over tho set time. Everything on tins. \

Of smartness in the Horse Show Il T. the
correct thing. and no town can feel itself
cosmopolitan without Il.
