CHICAGO HORSE SHOW.

Society Turns Out in Force on the Opening Night. Ten thousand enthusiastic Chicagoans gave emphatic approval to their first horse show in the beautifully decorated and brilliantly illuminated Coliseum. Society on the opening night filled the boxes and graced the spacious promenade which encircled the right;. It was full an hour

after the opening before the places of honor were filled by many Chicago notables. The best, the handsomest, the fleetest and the most aristocratic members of the family of horses were gathered to receive their admirers during the week. The Coliseum had been decorated elaborately, music added to the attractions of the show, and nearly $50,000 worth of prizes were given to successful competitors.
