An international horse show to bo
held at Loudon next June Is an as
sured fact. A meeting of the proml-
• neut American exhibitors and repre
sentatives of the National Horse Show
association and of the Hackney Ilorsa
association of England was recently
held in Madison Square Garden In
New York, when tin? plans for the ex-
hljition were decided upon, says the
' New York Times. The show will be
an annual one and ’d In Loudon
each year. The inaugural event Is
; set for June 7 to 13, UNIT, and wdll be
held at the great Olympia of Loudon.
The prizes will aggregate ai <mt $35,-
000. and the entries will ck n; next
May. Not only will the Amen "t ex
hibits meet the best horses in El. ^land,
but entrants will be solicited in France,
Belgium, Germany, Holland, Spain and
Italy. Eac7i of these countries will be
represented on the board of directors.
The meeting was held at the im anee
of Frank F. Euren, secretary o the
English Hackney Horse association,
who came to New York to complete the
details of the exhibition. He repre
sented the English directors and ex
plained the object of the new associa
tiou. outlining its plan and scope.
Among those who attended were Al
fred G Wynne Vanderbilt, Reginald
C. Vanderbilt, George I’epper, John L
Conaway, James T. Hyde, William \
I miles and It. I’eun Smith of Fhiladel
phia, Alfred Godfrey and Adam Bed;,
M. I’., of Canada, who occupied the
chair.
Frank F. Euren, on behalf of the
English directors, explained that he
was sent over for the purpose of In
teres ting the American exhibitors in
an international show, to be held an
nually in London, and said that it was
the intention to hold the exhibition in
the Olympia building, .'t structure twice
the size of Madison Square Garden,
with a show ring 305 by 7<‘> feet. Be
sides the offer of $35,000 In prizes a
number of championship cups were
planned to become the absolute prop
erty of the winners and to be renew
ed each year. The object of the ahow
was to promote the best interests of
horse breeding and to endeavor to en
trench Its position In social favor.
Ho said the directors In England
were thoroughly representative horse
men and enthusiastic sportsmen and
that they proposed to secure judges se
lected by mutual agreement. It was
Intended to provide stabling accommo
dation for more than a thousand horses
and to hold auction sales at the end of
every show.
Not only would the American exhib
itors who sent strings over to compete
have an opportunity to contest In the
International show, but by arrange
ment with the management of promi
neut English and foreign fixtures they
could also show in various other Eng
lish events were they so minded.
The most prominent exhibitors of
America were In attendance, and each
one pledged bis individual support to
the project and agreed to foster it with
personal entry uud individual Influ
ence. Alfred Vanderbilt created great
enthusiasm by being the first to de
clure that he would not only attend the
exhibition, but would take over his en
tire stable. Reginald Vanderbilt then
announced that he would do the same
thing, and the following pledged them
selves to send a more or less extensive
representation: John Gerken. It. P.
McGrann. Clarence Moore, Alfred B.
Maclay, Dr. Andrew Smith. E. T.
Stotesbury, Edward C. Knieriem,
George Pepper and George Hulme. A
number of others, including William
H. Moore and Clarence II. Mackay,
who were not present, are expected to
take stables over.
Chairman Beck then sa d that he
would pledg government assistance
abroad uud assure every exhibitor of
absolutely fair treatment in the Judg
ing. He said he had taken up the mat
ter witii the Canadian mink ter of agri
culture, who had assured him of gov
ernment nroguition. He said that he
hoped President Roosevelt might be
Interested in the project and give it his
countenance.
A committee was appointed consist
ing of Alfred Gwyune Vanderbilt,
John Gerken and James T. Hyde to
select an American committee of eight
members to make all arrangements
lor the show and for the transporta
tion of horses. Mr. Hyde announced
that he had received assurances from
American exhi itors that insured the
sending of at least a huud-ed entries
from America to the London show
and that the cost would not exceed $50
a head for the trip.
It Is Intended to incorporate the as
■Delation under the title of the Interna

capital of $100,000. of which $35,000
has already been subscribed by the
English directors and their friends.

Insure perfect fairness In all classes
there will be one American, one Eng
lish and one continental Judge.
SKIN

There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn
ing skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those
who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appear- QAIT
ing and know that they wnll he tormented through the hot ^ ’ •
summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced
to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter
nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood.
The most such treatment can be expected to do is, all^y the itching and burning and cover
up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns.
All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain
| the different parts. One portion is used for
the making of blood, another for muscle,
one for bone, still another for fat, and soon.
After these different properties are ex-
! tracted from the food there still remains a
portion that is useless, or waste matter,
which is intended to be disposed of through
the natural channels of bodily waste, the
Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season
of the year, however, these organs become
torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in
the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and
acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition,
and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne,
Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description.
ECZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from
which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It
is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be
afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid
in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition
and giving it a leathery appearance. ACNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of
pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear
ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body.
One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM, It discharges a watery fluid, form
ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected,
and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp.
These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause—burning acids and humors in
the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best
THE ITCHING WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE.
Dear Sirs—My body broke out with a rash or eruption
which in spite of all efforts to cure continued togft worse.
The itching, especially at night, was simply terrible; it
would almost disappear at times, only to return worse
than ever. I had tried many highly recommended prepa
rations without benoiit, and hearing ot S. S. S. determined
to give it a fair trial, and was inexpressibly delighted
when a few bottler, cured me entirely, removing every
blemish and pimple irom my body. I shall not fail to rec
ommend S. S. S. whenever an opportunity occurs to do so.
