MANASSAS, Va, September s, 1897.
The second and final session Of the
Manassas horse show ended today with
the largest and most successful meet ever
held in this county. The attendance today
was even larger than yesterday. The ,er-
rifle heat odified to some extent by
a breeze which brought a cool breath of
air, otherwise the day would have been
very dsagreeable.
The officers of the association were on
the grounds early and after tending to the
comfort Of the exhibitors looked after the
visitors. Their work was skillfully exc
cuted and received praise from all sioes.
A large rumber of the exhibitors were
out at an early hour exercising their horses
on the half-mile track.
A delay of an hour was occasioned by
the non-arrival of some of the judges. and
1t was 10 o'clock before the exercises be-
gan. The champion jumps. which were
postponed from yesterday, were the first
event today. and the remainder of the
program was hastily carried out in order to
finish by shutdown. The program was
quite lengthy one.
The same judges occupied the stand to-
day as e.: yesterday, and their decisions
met with general approval.
Miss Marian Holloway. daughter of Mr.
Joseph Holloway of Chevy Chase. one of
the judges, was heartily applauded from
the grand stand upon her appearance in
the ring today in several classes. and was
decidedly the greatest favorite of the day.
Her riding was magnificent and won the
admiration of everybody. After winning
the first prize in the ladies' riding horse
class Miss Holloway received the congratu-
lations of the directors of the association.
