The evening times., 1898-05-06


Washington cannot be held responsible
for the unkindness of nature in giving
the horse show rainy week. and. as II
anxious to disclaim- all responsibility for
1t, society has thus far seorned the In
conveniences OF weather by Its presence
in larger numbers at7Convention Hall,
both afternoon and evening. %
However. the attendance this morning
and during the evening hours of the
afternoon was much higher than on pre-
vious days, for which no reasonable
complaint can be made. owing to the
misfortune Of an unusually inclement
day.
But in spite of all this the Washington
Horse Show has passed beyond the line
Of speculation, and will be remembered
as remarkable success. particularly by
horse men, The stables of Virginia and
Pennsylvania that hitherto have been but
listlessly represented at the big horse
shows are taking advantage OF this op-
portunty to display their products and
demonstrate the development of several
handsome breeds that are bound to
achieve great popularity upon the Ameri-
can markets.
Virginia will derive Invaluable benefits
from the Washington Horse Show. which
II established as a permanent annual in
stitutiOn. will be the means Of stimulating
and encouraging fine market breeding
throughout the entire State.
Messrs. Henry Fairfax, W. s. Sewers.
James h. Maddox and CORTLAND II.
Smith are among the most successful
exhibitors from Virginia.
few have entered their horses
through personal pride in the reputa-
tion of Virginia as a famous horse-rais-
ing State. but others are here for the
purpose of creating a popular market for
their horses. and they are succeeding.
Geo. T. Gould. with his fine hunters
and Jumpers, has succeeded in carrying
OF one prize. and then 1t was a close
call for yielding honors to one of Vir-
ginia's hunters. a type of horse in which
the State excells.
Although Mr.. Beimonts entries have
all been scratched thus far il is prom
ised that he will be here with a coach
and pair before the show closes.
