"|RENE CASTLE"
 CAUSE OF PROBE
Her Charges Of Cruelty to Race
 Horses Investigated

Chicago, Nov. o2 Dc-Training practices in vogue among exhibitors of horses, which were condemned by Mrs. Irene Castle Mclaughlin in a letter to the Tribune have become a matter of investigation in connection with the opening of the annual Chi Cago horse show tonight.
 Commenting on the frequency Of refusals of horses to take the jumps, Mrs. Mclaughlin wrote: If we knew all the abuse heaped upon these poor animals. the lack of understanding and patience dis played throughout their training, we would marvel at the number We sec to over"
 Following publication of her let ter, Dr. Herman Streibert, a Ncter- marian representing the Anti-Cruel- ty to Animals society, visited the Riding club and warned exhibitors and officials Of the horse show that his society would not tolerate the use of tail sets on horses to be shown tonight. He said that viola tions of this ruling might bring prosecutions.
 Exhibitors retcrtcd that If Use Of tho tail sets were prohibited they would withdraw their horses from the show.
 Otto W. Lehman, chairman Of the show ordered three veterinarians 10 inspect all horses affected. He declared that if they found no cruel- ty attached to tho use of the instru- mcnts, they would be used regard less of the AnU-Cruclty socloiy's ruling.
 Dr. George Mckillip, head of tho committee of three, indicated that the finding probably would be that the tail sets were not cruel. When tail sets are used on q horse, they cause considerable pain, ' he said, but after this there is nothing cruel or painful about it. It is like a man wearing a belt buckled up extra tight. I have known horses to go for weeks with the tail sets on them and they suf- fered no pain.'
 Mr. Lehman said tail sets have been used for years. Horse show exhibitors would be the tiISt to dis card them if any cruelty was at tached to their use," he declared.
 Mrs. Mclaughlin, wife of Major Fredereic Mclaughlin, president of the American National Jockey club at Arlington Heights ,deplored the use of tail sets, which she described in her letter as iron implements covered with leather that you would expect to find only in some medieval display at the tower of London"
 Tail sets are devices used to train the horses tails into high curving arches. "Thcy are hidoous instru- ments Of torture that horses are forced to wear for many hours at q stretch 10 force the tail up over their backs and then double 1t back

Ballroom
tOBe Scene
of Beauty
Experts Rush Work to Make
Indiana Ballroom a
Classic.

If all the boards in the enormous
floor of the new Indiana ballroom
were put end to end it is estimated
they would stretch for forty-eight
and one-half miles. 1t will be
opened Friday night, Sept. 2. Each
board is three-quarters of an inch in
width and is so placed as to make
the entire floor mosaic of curVing
items and ever widening oval which
affords dancers, according to SCI
ence, the most springy footing. 1t
is elliptical in shape and is 100 by
1876 feet in dimensions.
The entire floor will be available
for dancing and will accommodate
5000 dancers. 1t is entirely sur
rounded by promenade raised eight
inches above the floor, so those who
may stop to chat will not uncon-
sciously stray on to the dancing floor
and interfere with the dancers.
1t is spring floor, with concrete
base, on which are laid wooden
sleeperS running both ways. A layer
of felt resting on, the sleepers and
this is covered with maple strips
which form the dancing surface.
The strips are laid in concentric
circles so that a dancer is always
dancing with the grain. A similar
floor at the Aragon ballroom in Chi
cago has been called the easiest in
the world to dance on.
Experts for the last month have
been working night and day on this
100000 floor treating it with sew
eral preparations.
