HORSE SHOW AND CELEBRATION WILL BE HELD IN SEPTEMBER.

September 20, 21, 22 and 28 the Date Selected—Committees Appointed To Make the Arrangements,

Rensselaer is to have a big horse show and celebration lasting four days, September 20 to 23. The meeting held at the court house last evening was largely attended by horsemen and business men and all expressed themselves as heartily in

favor of giving the largest horse show and celebration ever held in Rensselaer, as this year is expected to be the beginning of a new era for Rensselaer,

owing to the locating of the match factory, the building of the interurban, hew church, school building, depot, and other industries that are sure to come.

While the horse show,is to be the main attraction, entertainment is to be provided for all on every day of the show, the magnitude of which will depend upon the amount of money contributed. The entertainment committee will have the matter of securing attractions in charge, and it is hoped if enough money can be raised to secure a flying machine as one of the atr tractions. . .

When the soliciting committee comes around it is hoped every one will make up his mind to contribute liberally and cheerfully, for it will require a large amount of money to carry out a four days’ horse show and celebration. Indications are that a larger number of horses will -be sn exhibition than at any previous show and that the prizes will be larger than in-previous years. It is also expected to have an agricultural and poultry exhibit in connection with the show.
