LIVELY CROWD COMPOSED HORSE SHOW BOOSTERS.

Twenty-Two Cars Went Forth to Proclaim the Good Things That ■— Will Happen Next Week. The boosters were a little delayed in getting a start this morping. A little rain and some overhanging clouds threatened to entirely spoil the boosting program and a few who had planned to go were entirely frightened out. Elizur Sage had promised his car to take part of the band boys, so it is said, and when he did-not put in an appearance he was sent for, but had decided not to go. It took'a half hour to find a place for all the band boys. The start was finally made, however, at about 8:45 and there were twentytwo cars in the party if no mistake in count was made. Those furnishing their cars were G. H. McLain, who acted as pilot and had Harry Parker, the boomer-booster, with him; A. F. Long, George W. Ketchum, S. E. Sparling, G. F. Meyers, C. W!. Hanley, Granville Moody, Ben Harris, W. F. Smith, A. S. Laßue, Dr. S. H. Moore, C. H. Tryon, Fred Phillips, G. A. Williams, John M. Knapp, M. L. Hemphill, Ed Randle, B. J. Moore, D. S. Makeever and Mike Kuboski. Dr. Hansson drove Dr. Moore’s new Overland roadster and it was the foxiest decorated car in the business. A horse’s head was mounted in front of the car and reins of ribbon extended from it, while the car was gaily bedecked with ribbons of varicolors. Dr. Hannson used a buggy whip on the fractious animal and seemed to have him under perfect control. Dr. Moore wore his silk tile and was easily the most distinguished member in appearance in the party, as well as the oldest He says that age should be no barrier to progress and that he believes in boosting, just as much as he did when a young man. The route to be taken was to Mt Ayr, Brook, Goodland and Wolcott A message from Remington at 3 o’clock said that the boosters had just left there, headed north.
