ANT inew horses will bo won In
the arena .ftt.Jthe Horse.. Show ;
this week and the patrons' will
not have to view many -of . Un
horses as "'they wiiirl liquid '
and round the tanbark circle.
More and better horses are owned In
Omaha today than ever before. W. H. Ho
Cord, one of Oinaha's leading; horsemen and
possessor of one of the finest stables In the
west, now has a couple of avjtomoblles
which he, did not Imve last year, but hls
has, not stopped him from gathering to
gether a" much better and larger (table of
horws thun he ever owned before. That
the show 111 be the largest and bst ever
held Iti Omaha seems assured, for nior '
and larger stables; have entered their
horses than ever.
Whirling Cloud and Rainstorm is the way
Mr McCord has named his park pair he .
had Whirling Cloud, and ho says a rain
storm usually accompanies a whirling cloud
hence the name. Three other hew horses
which Mr. Mc-Coru wiil show he has named
after towns In- .Jlffnrent sections of Ne
braska, and those sections can root for
their own horso and still be rooting for
a pretty good steed. Fullerton and Fair
bury are a pair 16.S hands high and are
said to be crackers. They are the wheel
team In 'the four-ln-hand, while Whirling
Cloud and Rainstorm are the leaders.
Whirling Cloud is no novice at this horse I
how gairie, as he was the near lead horse
In the famous team- with which Thomas
W. Lawson won the blue ribbon several
years ago at the Madison Square Garden.
That was a notable team, comprised ef
Whirling Cloud, Flying ' Cloud, Thunder
Cloud and Red Cloud. Flying Cloud Is Said
to Ixv'tlead. Red Cloud Is owned In Ken
tucky arid Thunder Cloud, now called Car
moh, is'at 'the government breeding station
In Colorado. Norfolk Is the third norm
which . Mr. . McCord framed after a Ne
braska town. He la a lively runabout horse
- and Is looked upon to give them all a
bustle in that class. ,
E. P. Peck, president of the Omaha Horse
Bhow, hM a new team in Gladstone and
Churchill, of which he lajvstly proud. They
are a sjriaU para) pair and a crack roadster

services of. Fred Bork, tho Kansas City
lmrseman who conducted a riding school In
Omaha two years ago, to hanrilo hln liorxes
for Mm, and ho is conditioning the pairs
and combination horse, Commodore, for the
various events.
Mrs. N. P. Dodge has two horses which
she will exhibit herself at the show. They
are Attair and Lady Gray, both hlgh
class combination horses given her by her
father, Mr. Whitney of Boston. She has
not. entered them In the combination class,
but' will show them in the ladies' riding
and driving classes.
e The ladles' classes bid fair to be the
most Interesting of the show, as some
women have made entries who understand
all about a horse and can handle horses In
the show ring. Among these are Mrs. Jo
seph Barker, who will drive the horse of
her father, E. P, Peck; Mrs. Ward Burgess,
Mrs. JT. H. Parker, jr., of St. Joseph, sister
of Mr. W. H. McCord, who has entered
several horses from her stable; Miss Louts
Long of Kansaa City and several others,
Lawrence Jones will return to Omaha
for the second time, and In addition to Gal
lant Lad and his other cracks, he has a
new $12,000 beauty which he will rely upon
to carry off the top ribbon In the open
class. Few shows In the country ever
had such a magn'rlcent array of large
stables with their full equipment of horses
and complete appointments as will be
stabled in Omaha this week. Crow it
Murray are always on the lookout for
new horses and when Murray entefs the
arena and all give him the glad hand he
will have horses never before shown In
America. He makes a business of raising
hunters and jumpers and has a new outfit
of this class of horses. It la always one
of tho features of the show to see Murray
take jump on the back of some mag
nificent hunter.
Eight tandems In that class will be a
sight worth going quite a ways to wt
ness. Loula Long of Kansaa City la one
of the exhibitors who has not shown her
stable In Omaha to date. She has made
two entries for this class, being billed to
drive one of her tandems herself. Miss
Long has for several years been the hit
: of the Kansas City show, but this -fear
she decided to bring her horses to Omaha
to go Into competition with the world.
It Is always most interesting to see a

FRANK WILCOX
Manager
VRI8, Oct 4. The marriage of
PI Prince George of Urjeee and
I Princess Marie Bonaparte,
wnicn win iaKe pince nere
early In October, interests
Parisian society far more than
the usual unions between persons of their 1
rank. For, besides the position of Prlncens '
Marie's family, she has the additional
advantages of large wealth and of per
sonal beauty and charm. Her Inde
pendent fortune of S5,000.000 francs
makes her the greatest heiress in
France.
For these reasons and because of hor
unusual upbringing she has always noM
a unique position in Imperialist and roy
alist society. Since republican Ideals
have taken so Arm a hold on the country
that tho prospect of a monarchy becomes
hasler year by year, Orleanlat and Iijur
bon princesses are being brought up in
a much more democratic way than for
merly. In fact, are enjoying to certain
degree the liberties and privileges of the
lesser nubility.
Not so with Princess Marie. As her
mother Uted In her Infancy she
brought up by her granJmrliier, tho
Princess Pierre Bonaparte, who had ex
alted notions ubout the duties and re-
j sponslbliities of an. imperial hlghnets,
with or witnout a throne.
L'nllkc the girls of her age and genera
tion. Princess Marie was never ullov.ed
to make visits or to receive her acquaint
ance Informally. At certain set tin-.HS
these acquaintances they could scare. iy
be ckllei friends were bidden, as cy
royal command, to come to the Bona
(j arts' palatial home In 'the Avenue
d'Icna.
They were ushered through a matfnlll
cer.t suite of reception halls to an Inner
apartment, where their small host -jm
tood beside her stately Gian Jmotlier.
'aeh newcomer was greeird with an ap
propriate and graelouj speech, generally
abo-Jt her lamlly's health. Certainly tl.U
ccumcntous atmosphere was not encour
aging to childish confidences.
8o Princess Marie grew up in the strict
Intimacy of the home circle, wture p'Uy
gcsdtp never found Its way, for Frlncts
Pierre was faithful to her risid Ideas f.
princess' education and always tuniet
he conversation adroitly when some In
discreet caller started scandal bearing.
During her rlrlhood Princess Mario got
nto the habit of devotlna most of hor
tlnvn to scientific studies.
Ilur father, Prince Roland, who became
member ef the Institute because of cer
tain exhaustive astronomical and ecologi
cal works, undertook this branch of her
education. So at the time when the aver
age American girl Is planning her first
season's wardrobe. Princes! Marie, In
working apron, was spending hours in
library and laboratory.
And she seemed thoroughly cen'entert tr.
substitute the quiet of the school riom
for conventional gayetles. Her natural
aptitude, cojpled with constant stu1y anil
Intercourse with her father and h's "Sil
ent friends have made her. h..nd doubt,
the most learned young woman of her a :e
In France. It was to gratify her w'sli that
Prince Roland converted the vast base
ment of his home Into a laboratory.
At last her father consentrd ta Princess
Marls making her formal bow to society.
At her coming out party was gathered
the oJttoKt company that oter cHtrtl
a young woman's debut.
There were long haired professors of the
Sorbonne, world famous selentlsts, mu
sicians, artit and nuthors with their
wives and daughters. The princess herself
had made out the Invitation list.
Beforehand she was coached as t the
special hobby or latest achievement of each
guest like an American president swing
ing around the circle so when she sh ok
hands wjth them she had a timely greeting
for all. To Massenet rhe told her tippie-v
elation of his latest opera, to Victinleii
Bardou she praised the construction of one
of his dramas, and so on.
Since her grandmother's death In 1!..
when Princess Marie was 23, site hus re
ceived her friends, alone every Sunday
afternoon. This is almost an unheard of
tiling for ah unmarried French woman of
tho aristocracy to do.
But in her case there Is no Intention of
braving conventionality. She merely con
siders that she is not bound by the etl
quetto of tho day, and, true to Princess
l'leiie's training, sliff patterns her. .otle
alter t! at of an 'inperial !iM re e
'i :fi gittt grnntldaushter of l.ueiLn,
oldest brother of Napoleon I. Her father,
Prince Roland, would be the head of the
Imperialist party instead of Prince Vic
tor if he and his father before him Prince
Pierre hud not married women not of
royal rank.
Prince Roland's alliance with Mile. Blanc
brought him enormous weftlth, for her
fortune was derived from Monte Carlo
stock. This money enabled him to build
his Tails home, which Is considered the
handsomest residence In the capital.
It contains the largest private library in
Franco. Its 200,(X volumes line tho walls
of the hallway constructed around a quad
rangular court 10 feet long on each side.
When Princews Pierre was, describing her
son's home she said:
"He seems to bo building a few rooms
around a library.''
Although the library !s Indeed the tnobt
Important part of the palace, tho "few
rooms" Include viist reception halls, pri
vate suites the handsomest occupied by
Princess Marie and a monumental stair
way, which l as ll a equal only in the
leaux of loriiier kingd.

Ue to what pains, care and ex
pense the owners of the bean-
ties have been to condition them for the
ring. Some horses are born to step high
and to lean on the bit as they prance
Around the tanbark arer.a and others have
to have it drilled Into them. It Is no
moan task to sq condition a horse for the
ring that he will at once make a fine
Impression on the populace and at the same
time find favor In the judge's eye, for
these judges are, not to be led astray by
any pretense and 'fine work.
It all takes time. One of. the principal
things to be considered In the conditioning
of a horse is to start early with his train
ing so that the rounding to may not be hur
riedly done. It is now essential that to
have horses in condition for the show
ring that they ehould be well fleshed and
their bodies must be well rounded that
they may present a pretty picture as well
as to be nble to move lively and to step
high.
Liberal feeding of grain la indispensable
and a plentiful allowance must be dished
out, the exact quantity .depending entirely
upon the requirements of each horse. No
definite amount can be, specified, and It
must bo' left entirely to the' judgment of
the groom. Feed must be chosen which
is Jiot too heating, as that Is apt to cause
surfeit. Hnrses must not be worked too
hard, .especially after feeding.
Plenty 0t food of a laxative and cooling
nature, such as bran mashes or cut green
forage la essential. It is of great Im
portance that the show horse should be
kept cool. The horse must be sufficiently
and regularly exercised to keep him In
good health, and to allow him to be fed
properly without suffering bad effects.
The more the muscles of the show horse
are developed the more perfect does he
become. Mere fat cannot take the place
of well developed muscles ln either appear
ance, or condition, and a horse showing
good muscular development Is bound to
make the best Impression. Heavy work
will prevent a horse from taking on flesh
and at the prime object of a show horse
is to have' him well rounded, this class
of work must be .tabooed.
A pretty tall and mane help out a horse
Immensely and If a horse is Inclined to
rub his tall the dock should be protected
either by a linen bandage or by a leather
tallguard. When horses are being highly
fed they occasionally develop an Itchiness
of the skin which makes them Inclined to,
rub the tall. Onee this habit Is started'
It takes but a short time to develop It to
a vicious stage, unless steps are taken to
top It 'V ' '
The off aide Is "the proper side for the
mane always, and It must be rroperly
trained to He fiat. , It is best to frequently
brush with, a dampened brush where it
doea not lay properly. ' oj-jit care should
also be taken of the hoofs, especially when
the horse Is being shed, that the black
smith does not pare away toe heavily and
spoil the . proper .. tontour (Blacksmiths
must b watched, as thy do ' not know
as well the groom or onor bow a
horse's hoof should be shareuY
To crown all, the horse iinutU have ti
sleek, glossy coat, for that Is what first
attracts the ye as he la rlddileri or driven
j Into the arena. Carrots and rtnsied In
crease the gloss on the,rhat. but", the best
gloss can be acquired bya) libira applica
tion of good elbow greaadj' Vlguymia groom
ing twice a day will Wive to do the
proper work, the best tnMhotl to finish
.with a rub with the pnlmiof the hand to
make a good gloss. A gloss from Plenty
of rubbing is permanent, whereas a glues
obtained by keeping the horse In a hot
stable and covered with rug ia iiut fleet
ing and Is quickly dissipated. A nig keeps
the coat clean and ptomotiis a smooth
appearance, but should.' not be carried too
far. 7
Too fich food often causes eruptions ,
which may spoil the looks 'of 'a horse. It
Is well to remember that the best appli
cation for horse Is the," treatment slmiluA.
to that given an athlte after a harrY
tussle. A horse must not be overtrained
and a perfect knowledge of each horse'
peculiarities Is of tho greatest benefit ln
his .training. i 7
