One of the decidedly interesting features of the horse show during state fair week November 1G to 21, will be the Society Drill" which win be participated in by members of the younger local set, and which is being arranged by Chris Ledwidge, who Is director of the horse show features of the fair The Society Drill' will be given on the opening night of the fair, and If one were to judge by the enthusiasm already manifested in this novel equine inauguration there is every likelihood to believe that, while it is only booked for the opening night, its success will be so pronounced that 1 1t may be repeated later in the week.
 There will be at least thirty couples in this drill, the men wearing derby hats, black coats, regulation riding trousers, putees and carrying riding crops, while the ladies will be per mitted to select their own particular hats but must wear black riding habits and also carry crops. "Tne Society Drill' is all that it's name in- dicates, as the horses will be put through an interesting and intricate drill of many figures Rehearsals for | this feature will begin Sunday morn ing, October 24 in the state fair grounds, and will be held, in all prob ability. twice weekly until the horses
 master the drill. On Sunday morning previous to the final drill, November ! l5, MT. I.edwidge plans to have all entered in this feature ride down Cen tral avenue to the state fair grounds
 Letters with cards enclosed are being sent to members of the younger so- cial set, asking if they will partici.
 pate in this feature, and those who receive communications of this nature
 are requested to sign the cards im-
 mediately and return same to Mr.
 Ledwidge in order that all prelimi-
 nary steps may be taken before the
 initial rehearsal next Sunday morn
 ing It is also planned to make Tho Society Drill" one of the moving pic ture features.
 During the past week a large force
 of men have been working at the
 state fair grounds getting that huge
 plant ready for the next exposition oi
 Arkansas products and resources,
 and special attention at this time is
 being given the track which will be
 in ideal condition. This is due to tho
 fact that the races this year will he
 better than ever before and some of i the fastest horses in the south will | be seen in the respective events.
 An idea of the exhibit to be sent
 hero by the Boys Corn Club and the Girls Canning Club can be had in
 the fact that Miss Archer, state agent for the girls. and !. w. Jernigan. as-
 sistant state agent in charge of the
 boys feature. have notified state fair
 officials that in all likelihood they
 will require many more shelJes to
 hold these exhibits than were in place
 at the last state fair. This feature
 will be seen along the entire porch
 under the balcony on the west side of thc main exposition building.
