LAST YEARS EXPERIENCE

BlrmInBnam thlS autumn, at least the fair management, under whose auspices the horse shows have been held in the past, are not considering any plans to hold q show this year.
 The Birmingham horse shows have been held under adverse conditions be- cause of the lack of proper provision for an event of this kind but every ele- ment of success has otherwise entered into these annual events. Held in the open the ineonveniences have been such as to hardly encourage the promoters to again attempt the holding of a horse show and the plans when discussed at all have not been received with any de- gree of encouragement.
 Until Birmingham is better equipped fo holding horse shows 1t is hardly thought that any permanent horse show association will be formed. In those cities where horse shows have become annual events it has been found necessary to erect suitable buildings, where, as in the Madison Square Garden. the horse show Is made the most brilliant of social events
 It has seemed like tempting the fates here in the south to plan months ahead for a horse show to be held in the open, like huge garden party, but 1t Is in the nature of the southern people to plan on the most gigantic scale, indifferent to the elements or even the elements of success where pleasure Is dominant.
 Our southern fetes, our celebrations, our carnivals, our flower parades are all planned so elaborately and with as lit- tie regard for expenses as if we were perfectly sure of the weather, never thinking of the consequences until ths rainy season sets in, which 1t has been known to do just as the flower parades were at the climax of their picturesque ness.
 And for two or three seasons, when the autumn was warm and balmy for weeks, the very week of the horse show people shivered in their boxes and on many evenings had to leave them for their warmer carriages and seek com fort at the clubs. The experience of last year will hardly be repeated again, a week of discomfort to everyone who went fur-clad to the horse show and a
  promoters.
 But with the abandonment of the horse show by the fair management it Is now most timely for the organization of a permanent horse show association and the development of plans for the build ing of an amptheatre.
 Birmingham is now in the southern horse show circuit In the several classes last year some of the finest horses were held in Birmingham the standards have been high. With a strong horse show as- socatlon that will not attempt the hold ing of horse show until a suitable build ing is provided there is no reason, why Birmingham should not be placed in the group of cities: Louisville, Nashville, Richmond, Baltimore, where these annual events are promoted by the most repre- sentative citizens.
