What will probably prove one of (he most attractive and moat Interesting features of the Atlanta Horse Show Is now being planned by the officials. This feature Is the “gybrnkana” races that will be participated In by young men and women, and which will fur nish more amusement to the audience than a comic opera. One of the proper things to have In a "gyhmkana" race Is for several young women to drive pigs, geese, calves, roosters or something else as hard to drive around the ring. Instead of har ness these animals and fowls will be driven with the aid of pretty blue and pink ribbons, and suitable prizes wlJJ be awarded the winners. Already great interest has been manifested In this feature, and the Indications are that the entries will be many. Other races will be the egg and pota to races and the watermelon race. In the egg race a rider must hold an egg In & spoon and ride around the ring without dropping It. The .one complet ing the circuit first without dropping the egg is the winner. The same will be done with watermelons under the arms of the riders. In the potato race the riders must use long spears to gather the potatoes from a box, and then deposit them In another box. Woman Whips st Show. Mrs. W. L. Peel and* Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lumpkin have charge of another feature that will prove Interesting. They are arranging for ladles’ classes where horses will be entered, ridden and driven by women. Already there are a large number of entries In these classes.
