Millionaire's Daughter Spends Thou sands on aShow String. Horse racing may well be termec the sport ot kings , and this is true in more than one sense. It surely takes a kingly purse to maintain a racin stable , whether of runners or light harness horses , but according to some of the largest show exhibitors , both in this country and across the water , the most costly way to indulge one's love tor a good horse is to equip uiid main tain a big show stable and take it around the circle of metropolitan horse shows. There is absolutely no equable re muneration for the expense incurred in riding a , hobby of this kind as the ptemiums given , even at the largest shows , would be wholly inadequate to defray the outlay necessary for the maintenance of a high class show stable. One of the largest and strongest stables of show horses in the west is owned by a woman , who directs the care and management of the horses and exhibits her own entries in the ring. This remarkable young wom an for she is both young and attract ive is Miss Loula Long of Kansas City , the daughter of a millionaire , and she spends her money with a lav ish hand. Miss Long's horses , harness , ve hides and appointments represent an inveslnient of many thousands of dollars lars and she spends thousands more every year keeping her show string in condition and in shipping to the var ious shows around the country Last summer she sent her famous horse , the King , to the Olynipia show in London , where ho demonstrated that he had quality enough to be returned a win ner. Miss Long is an accomplished horsewoman and whenever she enters the ring she makes a dashing figure. Miss Long and her stable of blua ribbon winners will be a leading fea ture at the coming horse show to b hold in Denver by the Western Na tional Livestock association during the week of January if to 21. Horse men from all over the west congregate in Denver during that week and many of the largest horse show exhibitors from the east also put in an appear ance. . This year in addition to Miss Long the stable ! ; of Augustus Busch , the millionaire St. Louis brewer , Edward H. "McLean of Washington , D. C. , a young millionaire who has recently broken into the horse show game , Judge. Wi.lliam IT. Moore , whose horses won more ribbons in London this year thnn those of any other American ex hibitor , and George Pepper of Toron to , will compete at the Denver show. REMOUNTS FOB THE GAVALRY.
