INDIMU HORSE SHOW 2_ 1 ".i J_ -— -,y.- i —- - Brilljant Spectacles a Feature of the State Fair. The night horse show of the Indiana state fair will be ablaze with picturesque events which will give them increased popularity among the admirers of blue blooded harness and saddle animals. The entry lists show that a large number of the more important stables of the country will he represented, many of which have not in other years participated in the Indiana show, and, since the program is to be given in ene of the largest and most attractive arenas, aglow with light and accompanied by the music of the John C. band, of Cincinnati, there is every promise that the horse show five evenings of the fair, opening September Bth, will abound in greater richness than in any year since these features were started some years ago. The horse show has steadily been increasing in interest for both exhibitors and spectators until now it holds rank with the foremost exhibitions of this kind in the United States. It attracts horses from numerous states of the' Middle Westhorses which are prise winners in all of the great shows—and they come to the Indiana fair because of the additional distinction which a blue ribbon won there gives to them, as well as for the rich mone/* awards that are bestowed. Few if any state fairs offer the financial inducement that is held out by the Indiana fair, the prizes for the coming show amounting to $3,005 for harness horses and $1,325 for saddlers, a total of $5,830. There are exhibition classes Yor all kinds of show horses in which the public ie interested, with numerous contests for both men and women drivers and equestrians. In the saddle classes there will be events for three and five gaited animals, high school horses, and combination harness and saddle animals. In the harness events there will be roadsters, runabouts, carriage teams, ladies’ turnouts, high steppers, gig horses, tandems, unicorns, four-ha-hands and teams of two, four and six, to be shown to trucks. All of the important buildings on the grounds will be open until 9 p. m., so it will bo possible to see practically the whole fair at night. Auto parties are increasing in numbers from over Indiana to the night shows, as well as in the* day, hundreds of motor cars bringing visitors last year. Autos are admitted to the fair grounds without eharge and free parking space is provided.—Adv.
