The annual Horse Show is an absolute
success said f. p Peck president of tho
Omaha Horse Show association. as he
viewed the finished condition. Of the Audi
torlum, which is all IN readiness for tho
opening Monday night. I'VE will have the
best lot of horses ever shown in the city
Of Omaha. and that is saying a good deal,
because there was a large number of
splendid horses here last year. The classes
are ali we'll filled and all the numbers will
be full of interest As l say, the success
OF the show is assured and it only remains
for the people Of Omaha to turn out in
large numbers to make it hummer.
''As is well known, the Horse Show as
sociation was not organized as a money
making institution, but for the good OF
Omaha and with all other western cities 1y-
ting down on their shows this year, the d.
rectors Of the Omaha association were Moth
ing daunted but went ahead. with the re-
suit that Omaha has more entries and bet
ter horses than ever before, and it is now
up to the people to make the show that
gigantic success which will advertise the
city Of Omaha all over the country. as
the only city in the west with nerve enough
to give a horse show this fall. The eyes
OF the entire country will be upon Omaha
next week, and the citizens OF Omaha
should feel pride In turning out and CIV
ing Omaha a boost. This is a show in
which the entire city is interested, for the
merchants have long found out that it is
one of their greatest business boosts Of
the year
some Front Boxes ON Hand.
Secretary Moorhead has several front
boxes which were returned at the last
minute for one reason and another and
these may be had for the season OF may
be bought for a single performance. Nu-
merous inquiries were made for these
boxes early in the season. but at that time
Mr. Moorhead desired to give the holders
Of boxes last year the first option and did
not sell them. Now some cf these have
been returned and may be had at the Horse
show ONCE.
The fact that three worlds champions
are to exhibit at Che Horse show seems to
be arousing interest all over the state. for
where else could person go TO see three
winners OF worlds championships than at
the present Omaha Horse show. Jim, the
crack Armour gray wheeler. with his 241O
pounds, is a most sprightly animal and has
won so many ribbons for his owner. J.
Ogden Armour. that a trophy room is filled
with his ribbons alone Mr Armour takes
great pride in his magnificent grays and
probably viii run over from Chicago to
see them perform. .a.
Another worlds champion is the long
tailed roadster, Guy Fortune. for whom
Lawrence Jones paid $1,000 but that figure
would not touch him now, He is said to be
a beauty and as pretty a horse in action
as ever stepped into a show arena. The
third worlds champion is the beautiful
saddler, Poetry of Motion. This horse has
all the gaits and is rightly named. for when
In action is a wonder.
Superintendent Austin has everything In
readiness for the bugler to sound the entry
next Monday night when, Teddy" Fowler
with his ring general clothes will be an
Innovation in Omaha horse shows.
