Few Boxes UnsOld.
The erection of the tiers of boxes
on each side OF the arena was com
l54 OF these envlabe squares-hardly
enough to supply the demand-and
those contemplating reservation are
advised to call at Hotel Tulsa and
secure them while there is yet time,
for the supply promises to become eX
hausted before the opening of the
show.
Besides the boxes, n tier on each
side of the arena, which are the horse
show seats de luxe, there is being
erected grand stand. in which seats
will be reserved, and an additional tier
to which general admission tickets en-
title holders to seats.
1t is estimated that there will be
seating capacity for five thousand
people in the great pavilion. and yet
the management Is uncertain that even
this number will suffice to occommo-
date the crowds that will attend the
show.
Show Horses Ready.
The greatest attraction of the show
will be the harness and saddle horses
of Miss Loula Long, fresh from the
National Capital horse show. where
she laid low many a championship as
pirant with her prize winners. The
fact that Miss Long Is considered
Americas greatest horse show exhib-
itor and has held her own in the big
shows at Madison Square garden, New
York, Chicago, Boston and Denver,
is sufficient assurance of the Mid-Con-
tinent's being in the class of the great
est shows of the country, and will af-
ford Oklahomans the rare opportunity
of witnessing an event equaling. If not
eclipsing most of the shows Of the
west.
John Hooks, Miss Longs reserve
rider. in charge Of her saddle division,
states that the horses are in fine met
tie and are ready for the ring. The
daily exercise is being followed each
morning and will continue until the
opening of the show.
