cIared at its close last night
I'VE sought to bring horses here
which possess national and interna.
tional ribbons, to give Denver a show
on a par with those in the Coliseum
il Chicago and Madison Square gar
den. / believe without question that
We succeeded, and that view is held by
number of experts who have been
present in Denver
All the champions of 1914 appeared
in our show to fight for supremacy in
their respective classes in competition
for the grand sweepstakes. That the
people Of Colorado appreciate the riv.

ciate the skillful maneuvers of the bril-.

largest and most important horse show
ever given in Denver-the equal to, il
not better than some of the celebrated
shows Of the East

expense of bringing horses great dis

1t should maintain this with the call

shown for Jack Tar, Mr.. Daniels un-
defeated champion. 1t was thrilling to
drive behind him, knowing that his
game plucky nature, Which carries him
thru unbroken PAGES against other
champions had found the spot it should
in the hearts of lovers of horses here
in Denver"

Fred Roberts. treasurer of the show,
'of course We cannot determine until
next week-but we are decidedly pleas
ed with the character of attractions Of
fered in our bill of the week. 1t was
our greatest show, of course, and the

attendance was not as large as we had
hoped for, but it was due to weather

not regulate. We had third more
horses from other states than ever be-
