NASHVILLE, July PA full men,
bership meeting of the night horse
show committee was held at the fair
grounds yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
Edwin Murray, chairman, presided at
the meeting and outlined her plans
for the development of the show,
which will be the leader in amuse-
ments.

Emmett Cooper is member in charge
and R. H. Worke is superintendent
Mrs. Edwin Murray, one of the most
prominent and most beautiful women,
is chairman CT patronesses and she is
going to make the night horse show
one of the features of the state fair
The first thing planned by Mrs.
Murray is musical ride of twenty
coupes on horseback. The musical
ride should attract record breaking
crowds adt the night horse shows.
The ladies and gentlemen will all be
in riding costumes and will be mount
ed on the best saddle horses in Ten
nessee. They will go through many
intricate figures with the precision
and manner Of trained troupers. This
feature will be staged at least two
nights at the fair, and will be worth
a trip from a distance to see, to say
nothing of the balance of the pro-
gram.
The best lady and gentlemen riders
from Columbia, Franklin, Murf1ees-
boro, Gallat:n, Lebanon and other
towns will participate.
Mrs. Murray, realizing that this is
not only Nashvillet show, but for the
state at la-ge, is anxious that all
couples from the adjoining towns who
wish to participate communicate with
her or Mr.. Cockrill at as early date
as possible, IS the entries will have
to close at certain time in order
that participants may become famil-
lar with the drill, figures, etc. Reg
ular practice prior to the fair will be
held at the fair grounds. 1t is Mrs.
Murray's desire that reheaIsals
should commence about Sept /.
Any information wished will be
cheerfully given by Mrs. Edwin Muir
ray chairman, or Mr.. B. F. Cockrill,
OF West Nashville, who has kindly
consented to assist Mrs. Murray in
getting up this very interesting at
traction.
Mr.. Cockrill is the first and oldest
manager of horse shows in the entire
South, covering a period of thirty
years, and he has never conducted a
show that was not great success in
his long experience. The public can
rest assured that this feature OF the
coming fair will be one that will be
the most attractive and longest re-
membered.
Handsome prizes will be given for
both lady and gentlemen riders; also
prizes will be given for individuals
and for couples.
DR.. w. P. Woodbridge, of Columbia,
said to be the best musical ride lead
er in the entire country, will be- in
vited and will likely be the leader.
