Marked by an oven better display of
splendid horse flesh and. with .Hie.nrr^y
of fashion It) the boxes equalling, tf not
surpneelng,' the ajVnpaoiir of color
shown on the opening night, th# second
exhibition of Atlanta's Horse Show way
a pronounced success.
Among the entries wf re some of the
liest trained fancy steppers that ever
tame down from generations of nine
c.ress ancestry, and among these the
Atlanta trained exhibits were easily In
the lead. Atlantans carried off trophy
nter trophy on Wednesday night,
though three entries from Tennessee
captured blue ribbons In o|i«n elapses.
Not a box but wa* filled on the second
night, though the occupant*, in many
cnee*, differed from those of the ppen
Ing event. New guest* were found it
many of these, anil among them wai
'inventor Hoke Hmlth, whose presence
lent en official touch to (lenrgla's gala
social event of the eeaaon. New coa-
tumea, rivaling those In heautyspf the
flret night, gave rise to the cqpiment
ihat Atlanta modlates must haw been
working long and late In rerent weeks
There sis a riot of color, for tfte sea
son's creations are not . of modest hue,
but there was a harmony which made
the rainbow effect of the great oval a
symphony In hues. .
Hut one Incident marred the perfec
tion of the evening, an accident similar
I" that of Tuesday night. In the local
roadster class, T, 11. Lumpkin, driving
Ills brown mare, mark Bird, had
bard fall to the tanbark, through u
wheel of his bicycle buggy collapsing.
The frightened mare made a circuit of
'he orena before she was caught, and
the buggy was demolished. Mr. Lump
kin xvas unhurt.
The crowning feature of the last
night of the show will he the colonial
flue. In which sixteen couples of At
lanta's most prominent young people
Sill takb part. Dressed In the silks and
satins of great-grandfather's day, they
will put their horaee through a number
"f Intricate maneuver!, keeping time to
: lie music of the band. The horaee rid
den will be among the handsomest en-
lered at the show, and this event le
sure to draw the largest social patron
age of the series.
Thornton’s Two Blues.
The real favorite of the evening wgs
l-ady Pierce, the dashing brown mare,
which, ridden and owned by Austell
Thornton, pranced ofT with no Jess than
two blue ribbons and two.handsome
'■up*.
Lady Pierce won the hearts of th*
slithering from the start—In fart, had
"cured a strong hold the opening night
by copping a blue ribbon and the Capi
tal City Club cup then, and at every
appearance received a burst of applause
from the congregation of beautiful fem
ininity and the escorts who formed the
background in the picture of gay and
well-attired humanity that looked on
with unfeigned Interest and enthusi
asm.
l-ady Pierce won the Piedmont Driv
ing Club cup and the Phillips A Crew
nip Wednesday night, thus taking off
first honors for the second evening of
the hone show.
The entries of Laurel Farm, of Gal
latin. Tenn„ met with great favor In
'he eye* of the judge* and the apecta-
ten, and as a result captured the blue
• ibbon In the harness show clasa and a
"hits ribbon In th* runabout class.
Mlee HIMh Fletcher did all th* driv
ing for th* Laurel Farm entries, and to
her skill Is due largely th* credit for
the success achieved.
candy proved the "candy kid” In th*
■weal pony class, and won the first
nrls*. being ridden by little Robin
■tdslr. Candy wa* entered by O. W.
Adair. Only boy* 15 years old or less
were allowed to ride In this class, and
the event proved Interesting.
The other prlz^ winners were: Domi

New York, Oct. 17.—In a sensational
statement Issued today by Otto Heinz©
it. C04 whose manipulations in 1'nlted
Copper caused the $-'.000,000 failure of
Gross it Ivleeherg, It was announced
that Arthur P. Heinz© had been dropped
from the firm and that It would refuse
to pay any obligations which It did not
onslder legal and Just.
•Rather than submit to unjust de
mands,’' the statement continues, “the
firm prefer* to be temporarily suspend
ed from the privileges of tin- stock ex-
hnnge."
Following the statement which proved
a startler In Wall street, came the offi
cial announcement of Heinz© that h«
had sent i.n his resignation a* president
of the Mercantile Xulhtnnl llnnk and
that In the future he will devote hlx
time to what promise* to In* the great
est copper tight !n tile history of the
country.
This means that Augustus Heinz©
will bring hi* brother out from the
crash they brought about through their
manipulation of United Copper and
_ It Is de
clared by those in Wall street,
know that F. Augustus Heinz©
lost between llft.UOO.imoo and SlS.oot),
In his efforts to best Roger* and that
the Arm of Otto Heinz© A Un. suffered
in the fight.
Well-Informed bankers In Wall
street can see nothing In the crash of
the Heinz© copper Interests hut the
final Isxue of a war between the Amal
gamated Copper men. led by II. H.
Rogers, and th© Interests that have
centered about F. Augustus Helnze ever
■Ince he rose to power In Montana by
successful combat on the local field
with the great copper magnate*.
When Mr. Rogers, who. as the chief
manipulator of copper for the great
Standard Oil Interests, came to town
from his sick bed several days ago. It
was believed that only the most urgent
business could have brought him. The
result, it Is declared, I* apparent.
F. Augustus Helnze announced this
afternoon that he.would see the firm of
Otto Helnze A Co. out of its difficulties
If It toi»k the last ^©nt he had In th©
world. It was rumored in Wall street
that there would he another assignment
within the next twenty-four hours, but
little credence was given to the re
port.
The board of governors of the stock
exchange today suspended Max II.
Schulte froiy the floor for his connec
tion with the failure of OUo Helnze
A Co. Mr. Schulte Is the exchange
member of the firm.
