Thursdays Daily.)

With ideal weather, the Sec
ond Midsummer Horse Show
opened up in grand style out at
Laurel Park yesterday afternoon.
People from all over the South
and some from the North, who
came to Hendersonville for this
occasion, were seen all over the
field, in their gay attire for the
Horse Show.
There were horses of every
variety and description out at
the Park yesterday. In several
incidents it was a very close de-
cision by the judge, DR.. F. A.
Cambell of New York, as to which
horse deserved the blue ribbon.
The management deserves great
credit for the manner in which
the show is carried on. The
program is an interesting one
from first to last.
Today's events promises tc
even surpass those of yesterday,
and the crowds will be much
larger, as many arrived on the
evening train last night and the
noon train today, to witness the
last two todays of the show.
This is undoubtedly the gay
est part of Hendersonville''
season. With the broad boule
ward walks thronged with hun
dreds of the gayest Of the ''fai
SEX and the cities main through
fares, is the scene of the fines
horse flesh in the United States
all of which go to make a gram
spectacle to the sight seem,
public, in the city Of Henderson
vile this week.
One of the brilliant closin
events of the Horse Show will b
the German given in Hotel Gate
ball room Friday night. Thi
has always been the source c
the greatest pleasure among tn
| young people visiting in the cit
and the anticipation for the occs
sion is rising at a high rate tn:
