fort to Please
the People.

"Old Home Week" was thoroughly en-
jcyed byNashville and the ''home-com-
ers" and it Is natural that the pleas
ure-loving people should begin to look
for the next occurrence. In other
words, it is like. human nature to be
always looking for something better,
or to ask yourself what next?" Nash
vile is enjoying an unprecedented
period of prosperity. This is true in
many respects, and especially is it
true among the people that constitute
this great commonwealth just now.
One writer has said that when 1t
rains, it pours," and another that
Troubles never come single-hatided,"
That this is true, no one denies or will
attempt to dispute. The same thing is
true, it is often said, about blessings.
They never come single-handed. When
this remark Is made and when it is
applied to the pleasures and the ar
rangements for pleasure being made
for the people of Nashville, 1t should
be taken into consideration that it
strictly refers to the coming society
event heralded each week and posted
in magnificent placards Coming Horse
Show and Negro Carnival" That this
will be one of the greatest society
events that Nashville has ever known
is we'll demonstrated by the interest
already manifested on the part of the
old and young the rich and the poor,
the society as well as the business
men. No better time could have been
selected than the present date which,
it is learned, will be October 7 and 8.
Many people have said that owing to
their work they were not able to at
tend celebrations in the day time. The
management of this first horse show
and Negro carnival appears to have
taken advantage of these obstacles and
contentious. Their unique arrange
ment to have this carnival and horse
show pulled off at the beautiful Ath-
letic Park on Monday and Tuesday
nights, is certainly taking precaution
for the benefit of those unable to at
tend during the day. Their program
will include the two nights. Arrange
ments have already been made, so it
is learned, to have the we'll known
park beautifully lighted.
Precautions and preparations, too,
| have been made in case of bad weather
to protect all the ladies from the storm
or rain, as we'll as the cold. 1t would
be a discredit to the management of
the Athletic Association of Nashville,
consisting as it does of some of the
most enterprising young men Of the
city, to not give proper notice and at
tention to this coming event, as they
have furnished from time to time
amusements for the whole people.
Their football games, their baseball
contests, as well as their carnival last
year, have already brought out their
ability TO furnish entertainment. Some
we'll known features, as well as persons
are noted on the program. The big
parade each day will no doubt be one
: Of the largest drawing cards, and when
this is over Nashville will have en-,
joyed its greatest and most entertain,
ing event of the season. The horse
owners of this city have never had an
opportunity before to display their
q beautiful stables and magnificent rigs
Tennessee is not mean state, and does
not take a second place for thorough

capital is easily in the lead. Some Of
