He kissed his wife and Joined Mr..
Winter, and together they made the
round of the district.
AS they were going through the
court near by the place where Philip
had been attacked he told the mill
owner the story. 1t affected him
greatly, but as they went on through
the tenements the sights that met him
there wiped out the recollection Of ev-
erything else.
How many people are there in our
church that know anything about this
plague spot from personal knowledge,
Mr. WinterT Philip asked after they
had been out about two hours.

sumo"
"And yet they ought to know about
it. How else shall all this sin and mis-
cry be done away"
II suppose the law could do some
thing" replied Mr.. Winter feebly.
"The law" Philip said the two
words and then stopped. They STUN
bled over heap Of refuse thrown out
into the doorway of a miserable struc-
ture. "Oh, what this place needs is
not law and ordinances and statutes SO
much as live, loving Christian men and
women who will give themselves and
the souls and bodies and houses Of this
wretched district We have reached a
crisis in Milton when Christians must
give themselves to humanity. Mr..
Winter, l am going to tell Calvary
church so next Sunday"
Mr.. Winter was silent. They had
come out Of the district and were
walking along together toward the up
per part of the city. The houses kept
growing larger and better. Finally
they came up to the avenue where the
churches Were Situated-a broad, clean,
well paved street. with magnificent
elms and elegant houses on either side,
and the seven large, beautiful church
buildings, with their spires pointing
upward, almost all of them visible
from where the two men stood.
A door in one of the houses near
opened. A group of people passed in.
The glimpse caught by the two men
was a glimpse of bright, flower dec
Grated rooms, beautiful dresses, gilt
tering jewels and table heaped with
lux.iries of food. 1t was the paradise

10 the Circuit of Virginia Horse and
Colt Shows, a forma ton of recent years,
may be ascribed to a considerable extent
the greatly increased interest in highly
brea stylish, and Well-fOrmed harness ana
SADDLE horses. AS a result 1t may be SAID
that HirSlna-bred horses have not only
been able to hold their own when exhibited
within the boundaries OF their native State,
out III the fierce competition seen IN the
ring at large northern shows they nave
captured prize after prize, and carried OH
championships as well.
The Upperville Colt Club, at Upperville,
Loudoun county, which is in the midst
ut d very rich grazing section, is the old
est association Of it's kind in the State.
Its annual shows are held in June OF each
year, and have done much toward direct
Ing the attention Of northern buyers to
horses bred and reared in that section. The
horse-show OF the Prince William Horse
mems Association held a Manassas is the
largest affair of It's kind in Virginia. The
annual show of this association, lasting
two days, took place during the past week,
and was generously patroniZed, not only
locally, but quite 4 large delegation came
down from Baltimore, WashingtoIi, and
other cities The attendance was over
5000 daily. Prominent horse-show exhi-
bitors from ali over the East were in evil
beiiCc, anu CvlIrelit!oli WIS very SIidl p
Following the Manassas show come those
at Orange, Culpeper, Harrisonburs. and
Warrenton, while other places will drop
into line at no distant date. TO the credit
of the horse-show it may be said that
Objectionable features are almost entirely
lacking, to which their popularity and
hold upon public favor in general is, no
doubt, due. AS an educator the horse
show has really accomplished more than
all other SOURCES toward creating a fancy
for housekeeping harness and both park
and gated saddle-horses, While fine car
riage ana fast road horses have also come
in for large share of attention. While
the horSe-snow fiourisheS in the rural dis
tricts of Virginia, it has caused more than
{! passing remark that no attempt has ever
been made to hold one in the city OF
Richmond, but it is to be hoped that at no
b5istant period an association may be
formed, and a horse-show held here that
will be a credit not to the State alone,
but to the South. BY concert OF action
it may be accomplished. and. if the project
be taken up and pushed forward by pro-
gressive citizens, the success of a Rich
mond hcrse-shcw Will be assured, and
much good will result.

MOST SUCCESSFUL CAREER.
Congressman Lamb has had most sue
cessful career in public life. He was OPP
posed in 1886 by Judge l.. L. Lewis, Wao
was the nominee OF the Republican party.
but was returned to Congress by d hahu-
some majority In 1898 there was a split
among the Republicans Of the district, and
one wing of the party nominated eS-Post-
master Otis II. Russell. OF Richmond, and
the other put forward the name Of Post
master B. B. Wesiger, of the city of Man
chester This division in the ranks of the
opposition made the popular Congressman
election certain from the start, and his
majority was overwhelming.
There is much talk Of the Republicans
putting up Gold Democrat against Captain
Lamb this year, but it seems to be the
concensus of opinion that the district being
safely Democratic, he will be again return
ed to Congress by safe majority.
