But that some one looks after the
horses interest, after all, is shown by
the unusually large number of entries

are many new exhibitors on the list,
among them Mr.. and Mrs. John Robin

erous entries in the saddle and harness

who will be missed is Oliver H. P. Bel

few weeks ago. They will be ex-
hibited, however, by the new owners.
