GOSHEN, Oct. 1.-To-day the best people Of
Orange county were at tho grounds of the
Orange County Horse Show Association on tho
outskirts OF this pretty village. 1t was the third
annual exhibition. and everything was done by
the management to promote the comfort OF
guests and patron . The weather, while a trifie
warm for the autumn. was clear, and the women
were enabled to replace tailor.mnde gowns with
shirt waists and other adjuncts OF tho summer
season. Some Of the men wore straw hats, in de-
fiance of the unwritten law which calls for their
being shelved on Sept. 10, and they were a heap
more comfortable than their brethren who swell
tered under the thick. stiff denominations which
men have accepted for many years as the con.
vcntional headgear.
While to-day was more like q day snatched at
random by the clerk Of the weather from his
August stock, the touch OF autumn was In
delibly imprinted on tree and shrub, the trees
at tho crest OF the hill, at the foot OF which the
village half.mile track %nestles, showing the
crimson and gold among the green. where the
light fingers Of Jack Frost had caress d them.
This is the most ENJOYABLE of all the seasons in
the country districts, and in Orange county the
coming round of the date for the annual horse
show is always eagerly awaited. The farm
crs regard 1t as the event Of the year.
Crops are harvested and all is made
ready for the two days frolic at
Goshen. Mr.. Hartman and his associates have
given TO the good people Of the surrounding
country an opportunity to sec the best horse
that money can buy, and has encouraged them
to breed tho type of horse the public demand by
bringing to their very doors such o horse as
Stamboul. Mr.. Hartman is the head and front of
tho Orange County Horse Show Association, and,
thanks to the unceasing energy displayed by him
self and Messrs. Van Wyse, Weston, Wood and
Green, he has accomplished wonders.
