Hendersonville's second annual
horse show will be held at the
high school athletic field on July
80 and 30, and plans for the
event, which will exceed that of
last year, are rapidly being per-
fected.
The horse show is again under
the Sponsorship Of the Chamber
of Commerce as u part of the
summer entertainment program,
and will again be for the benefit
Of the Patton Memorial hospital.
Mayor A. V. Edwards has been
named as honorary chairman Of
the show, succeeding Milo w.
Strong, who served in that capac-
ity last year. Other officers are
H. B. Kelly, president; T. ID.
Clark, w. B. Hodges, and H. f..
Buchanan, vice-presidcnts; j. T..
Fain, Jr., secretary; II. n. Mitch
ell, assistant secretary; A. w.
Grower, treasurer, and DR.. X. +.
Taylor, veterinarian.
The executive board is being
drafted from civic and business
leaders Of the community and will
be announced later.
The show will again be under
the direction of H. H. Mitchell,
widely known director in the
southern states, who directed the
show last summer. Mr.. Mitchell
has established headquarters in
the lobby of the Skyland hotel.
The prize list for the show has
already been prepared and mailed
to hundreds of prominent exhibit
tors and horsemen throughout the
South. The first entry list was re-
teived last Saturday from Fred
w. Fuller, well-known Greenville,
S. c., horseman, whose entries
showed well here last summer.
The show this year is expected
to attract a much larger number
Of exhibitors and more horses
than last summers show. Already
nubmer Of owners, not showing
here last summer, have indicated
that they will bring their horses
here this year.
CONSTRUCTION OF STABLE
ON GROUNDS is BEGUN
Stabling arrangements this year
will be a big Improvement over
those of last year. Horses will be
stabbed in specially constructed
stables on the north end Of the
athletic field, and construction
work has already been started on
these stables. Arrangements will
be made to stable more than 30
horses on the grounds. Last year
stabling was several blocks away
from the show grounds. This year
spectators will be able to see the
horses before the show.
FOUR SESSIONS PLANNED
An enlarged show will be given
this summer. More classes have
been added in the prize list and
plans call for shows to be held on
two afternoons and two nights.
No night shows were held last
year and this is an innovation in
this section as Greenville is the
only show in this area having
night performances.
In preparing the prize list this
year, special attention has been
given to local entries. Glasses
have been added for draft ami
mails, both horses and mules, to
be shown in pairs in hand, and
these classes are expected to
prove popular with Henderson
county stock men. =,
A pet class has also been add
ed besides the other classse that
will give increased color to the
show. Horses will be shown in
three and five gated divisions,
eliminating in the stake or cham.
classes, in hunter and
Iupmer classes, horsemanship for
men, women and children, and in
classes.
