The Hunting Contest.

It is claimed that some cracker jacks
from Virginia will be entered in the
hurdle aud jumping contests at the
fair. The Virginia boys claim that
they will win both races. as they have
some of the best horses this year that
have ever entered such races. This
will be an entertaining feature of our
big fair. Mr.. lowering, of Baltimore,
a member of the Elk Ridge Hunting
Club, seems quite confident that the
Baltimore boys will show the way to
the Virginians over hurdles and high
Jumps. Mr.. Samuel George, the mas
ter of the Elk Ridge Club, has recently
purchased a grand jumper in Virginia,
and many of his friends are anxious
to have him entered against some OF
the old regulars.

HIGH JUMPING CONTESTS.
A New Feature at the Great Fred
erick Fair-Regular Speed Pro-
gram Shows Very Little
Change From Last Year
Liberal Purses.

The Hunter and High Jumping con-
tests at the "Great Frederick Fair"
will be one of the most interesting and
unique features. 1t is something out
of the regular routine and will, no
doubt, be winning card on the prize
list. The contests are open to all who
desire to compete and it is certain that
several recognized Hunt Clubs from
Baltimore and Washington will have
some of their best riders TO represent
them. Ali first-class Fairs have these
high jumping and steeple chasing con-
tests and the people would not be salts
fled without them. The managers of
our Agricultural Society have mani
tested a spirit of push and enterprise
in this matter that is highly commend
able and we venture the assertion that
they will realize in receipts an ample
sufficiency to reimburse them for any
extra expenditure ON this account,
Several outside patrons of the fair, it is
said, have generously contributed to
the purses for these special races
and the amount is of such proportion
that it is well worth a strong effort to
win. The regular races are about the
same as last year in number and vari-
ETY., but the purses have been slightly
decreased. Three hundred dollars is
now the largest amount given in any
one race. The other monies range from
$3.50 to $3.50. Tuesday will be the coun.
ty horses parade day and it is prod
able that a good sized field will show
up for the money. There is some good
horse flesh in Frederick County and
with liberal inducements at our fair,
and proper method of classification,
our breeders and owners can find it
profitable to train their horses and
start them, if only in one race. Ma
tional trotting Association rules gov
ern all speed contests and mile heats
are best three in five. Entries close
October 3rd, at eleven o'clock.
