WITH the coming of the Horae Show mora In
terest than ever Is being displayed on all
side both by the merchants and by the ex
hibitors. When the first Horse Show was
talked of for Omaha the people of this Hty
wore almost at a loss as to what was the proper thing
to wear at the Horse show, and the local exhibitors did
not know Just what would be required of them in the
ay of appointments In the various classes which were
to be shown. That Is, some of the people did not, but
there were many who had been following the Home
Shows of the country for several years. When the time
for the first Horse Show came around W. H. McCord
and one or two others possessed about as fine stables as
were to be found In any of the western cities. As the
time for the third annual Horse Show approaches It has
developed that a large number of horse admirers have
added horses and equipages to their stables until Omaha
can boast as many fine stables as any city of its size in
the west.
People who attend the shows have also been edu
cated until thousands are now able to tell, when a horse
Is brought Into the arena, whether he has the right con
formation, and whether he Is hitched properly for the class
In which he is shown and whether the proper appoint
ments are used in showing the horse. The people of Omaha
are a discriminating class and Insist on the prizes going
to the best horse. Omaha citizens are noted for the
fairness which they display whenever a con test 'is on and
an outsider, should he be able to win on his merits, Is
accorded Just as good a reception as a local horse. In
some cities the prejudices of the people are shown to
such an extent that the Judges must feel they should fol
low popular opinion to a certain extent and this Iz
oftlmes prejudiced.

Livery for Groom and Coachman
Every up-to-date park rig has two grooms, a coach
man and a footman, and these must both be in full
dress livery. The coachman Is the man who sits In front
and handles the ribbons. He must be a thorough horse
man and In the ring must understand the horBe he Is
driving. His livery Is made considerably different from
the footman; for example, his coat must have pockets
and only four buttons on the back, while the footman's
coat has no pockets and six buttons on the back. The
coachman has fewer buttons because he is always sitting
down and could not sit on a lot of buttons with comfort.
He has pockets because he must have a place to put
his gloves while the footman needs no pockets for this
as 4e does not take off his gloves. It is a part of the
duty of the footman to so time his actions as to be at
the head of his horses by the time they are brought to a
full stop. To do this he should commence his descent
from the vehicle the instant he feels the pulling up of
the horses. In the show ring he should never lay his
hands on the horses unless they are very restless or fret
ful. The coachman always receives the orders from the
owner and the groom Is under him. A good coachman
never uses the whip unless to convey to the horse a
distinct command to go and he never touches the horse
twice with the whip In the same place. The box is al
waya mounted by him from the off or whip hand side.
On smaller rigs the coachman sits with the owner, while
the owner drives and the footman or tiger sits behind
the same as in a larger rig. Whenever a lady Is show
ing a horse she Is supposed to carry a coachman with her.
Outfit for Gentleman's Stable
W. R. Drummond, the principal outfitter In the west,
vu Mke4 what mad a somyUU outfit tor a aUemen'a
stable and said: "The general conception in the west
of a complete outfit would include a stanhope gig, deml
mail phaeton, runabout, victoria, station wagon and
brougham. The stanhope gig is the universal showy
ehicle for a single horse. It Is the two-wheeled gig
which has been used at the Omaha shows. The run
about is, as the name applies, a vehicle used for town
purposes and can hardly be classed a park rig. This is
generally driven by the gentleman with the groom along
side. The victoria Is the lady's vehicle and is driven by
her or the coachman according to the style of the ve
hicle. This is distinctly a park rig and of course the
servants must be In full dress livery. The deml-mall
phaeton is decidedly the gentleman's vehicle and always
has the polehead with the chains which rattle as the
horses move. These were named from Lord Stanhope,
who was a rich English lord, but lost his money. Having
a fine stable of horses and rigs he took a contract to
(arry the goverument mail. He altered his phaeton by
attaching a box to the rear, which has been changed but
blightly to the present day.
"The station wagon is a utility vehicle for daylight
purposes and Is always driven by the servant in undress
livery or stable clothes. The brougham or deml-coach
Is an evening rig, the lines of which are patterned after
the French royal vehicles. To be correct this is always
equipped and driven after the fashion of the full dress
vehicles. Of course a park trap comes In very handy for
an undress vehicle for a lady. In this same line can be
used a body break which is a morning exercise rig and Is
almost a necessary adjunct to a large stable."
Correct Harness for Each Rig
In speaking of the correct harness for each of the
rigs which are displayed In the show rings and on the
boulevards George H. Wllklns, manager of Omaha's third
annual show, said: "To begin with, no color but black Is
permissible in harness, and of mountings, brass Is al
ways given the preference. Bearing reins are always
used on harness for town horses, both as a matter of
safety and for uniformity in the looks of a pair, making
them head alike. The pulley bridoon check is very much
in favor for tandem and heavy road harness and on ac
count of its flexible working gives great ease and free
dom to the horse's month.
"For a complete stable a man should have his steel
case first. This ts for the safe keeping of his bits and
chains, free from moisture and always polished and hung
properly. He must have a gig harness, runabout harness,
tandem harness, brougham harness and victoria harness,
or park harness. The gig harness should be brass
mounted, have a spring hook bearing rein, bridle with
square winkers, standing martingale, gig bit, chain to
connect hames at bottom, closed loop tugs and single
square or horseshoe buckles. Brass bridle fronts must
match the other trimmings.
For the Runabout
"As to the runabout harness, the common concep
tion Is brass mounting, elbow bits, Kay collars, although
a breast collar is not tabooed, and French tugs and
bridle fronts of metal with winkers to suit the taste.
To be correct, even for town use one should always carry
In the runabout box or under the seat an emergency
shoe. The harness for the park pair should be mounted
as the rest, bridles with square winkers, spring hook
bearing reins, Buxton bits which are used on all full
dress harnesses, Kay collars with straight pads and pole
chains, hames with Jointed kidney links and ring, outside
clips with three rivets on tugs. The Victoria Is the same
except pad housings and fronts to match, loin pieces and
pole pieces Instead of chains. The brougham harness
should have the same winkers, chain forehead bands of
any pattern, spring hook bearing reins, Buxton bits, Kay
collars, breast plates, hames with Jointed links and rings
to match, straight pads and loin pieces, no pad housings
nor pole pieces. Chains are never correct."
In the Stable Itself
Improvements in stables have come with years of
education and now each stall is equipped with small feed
box, which Is generally kept filled automatically, water
trough, and tie ring. The stalls generally have a wire
or lattice grating between them and are bedded halt
way. The posts are generally trimmed with pilllklns, or
wrapping of straw half way up and half a ball on top.
Stalls, of course, must be very well drained. As to stable
accessories, sponges, soap, scrapers, robes, coolers, and
leather boots and bandages. A good horse should always
be kept bandaged and In the proper manner or the
bandage is useless in Us purpose. A bath tub Is neces
sary for the horse's feet, as these need the utmost care
The servants' quarters are generally above the stable,
and are as commodious and neat as the bouses of the
owners.
The standard riding bridle equipped with English
riding bit and double rein Is the only recognized bridle
In use at the present time. An English side and a cross
saddle are, of course, necessary where one rides. The
crop Is a relic of barbarism and is not used in the present
day at all, but Instead a short bat is always carried by
those who aim to be anywhere near correct. The crop
came from England and was used by a gentleman in
ciobs country riding to opeu the gates he encountered.
