Interesting Rivalry.
In the hunting and jumping classes the
entries comprise the best horses in the
country, north and south, and the results
will be awaited with keen interest by the
re preventative horsemen Of the country.
Wagers are being freely offered that Vir-
ginia horses will defeat the New York en-
tries in the heavyweight hunting classes
in the jumps over four successive obstacles
five feet high, and these offers are being
taken with avidity by the northerners.
Manager Field is now arranging the hours
at which the different classes will be judged

animated, society is simply enthusiastic,
and the prospects are that the event will
