Fremont night at the Horse Show drew

the boxes and galleries were well Allied
with eaily costumed spectators, Society
was out in all Its finery and the brilliant
display Of color in the boxes was in decided
contrast to the previous evening, when
modest colors predominated.
The program offered a pleasing variety
in style, weight and carriage and the beau
tiful animals were enthusiastically cheered
as they rounded the tan bark course The
events of the evening were warmly con-
tested. the entries IN nearly all Of the

Crowd shows It's Opinion.
Cheers OF the apreclatlve assemblage in
the great Auditorium bewildered the judges
many times during the evening, II was
frequently apparent that the $500 who
strained their eyes to see every movement
of the horses had reached a decision far
| in advance OF the experts who watched the
steeds in the ring.

horses shown at the great exhibit proved
| Tuesday evening that they needed no arti-
fetal devices to make them hold their heads
higher than kings. Anything but modesty
was apparent in every horse, even when
check reins were taken down and they
were driven around the tan bark track
to show their natural majesty. and they
seemed to say:

More stood about the ring than usual to
make a close Inspection OF the horses and
the gay scene resembed the most brilliant
days at the aristocratic race tracks of the
country. Not infrequently the close admir-
ers of the horses selected winners with no
uncertain judgment The most exscting
judge could not have required more than
the ringside admirers. as many in it
watched every horse drawn up and started
off again. Four years of successful horse
shows has trained the eyes at the ringside
as well as Omaha horses, as was shown
by the close attention Tuesday evening.
