DELAY OF LIGHTS ONLY BLOT

The air aquiver with the music or Fsicci's famous band the grand stand a scintilating mass of color as the ladies moved about in their oeautiIul costumes, the first horse show Mont gomery has held for many years was opened Monday. night and carried through to pronounced success.
 The first event was very much de- laved bv an accident to the electric wiring the lights not being turned on for an hour and quarter after scned- uled time. The management of the Fair had everything done in their pow CT to locate the break and corps or electricians were set to work hunting the trouble. The lights could have been turned on sooner, in fact on time, but as so many of the buildings at the grounds are wired, the electricians feared some one coming in contact with a live wire, So the power was kept off until the trouble was found.
 The moment the lights were on the show went smoothly and was marked by the absence of further delay. The first event, class one, light harness horses, was the most attractive one of the evening and had more entries than any other. There were more than a dozen horses exhibited and the turn outs were as smart and up-to-date as any seen in the biggest shows of the country.
 l.. Emerson. driving "Dixie" for J A. Flowers, took the blue after hard fight with the rest of the field. For a time 1t looked like there would be no decision and the entries were sent around and around but at last the de- cision was made. M. W.
