| clouds in the canopy overhead through
| out the day, the interest in this smartest
! horse show in the Valley Of Virginia
never relaxed. During the day some
rain fell but over 5000 persons visited the
show and paid tribute to the horses. The
track was in fine condition for making
| good sport, and the day not without
exciting incidents.
! AS the different classes were judged,
the interest waxed in the intensity until
the steeplechase handicap. when the
widest excitement prevailed. The show
did not close until after the dark
shadows of evening lowered over the
great crowd, and late tonight people are
still coming into Berryville from the
| grounds on horses and in vehicles. from
the stylish English brake Of Charles
Mullikin, of Page Brook" to the rudest
| specimen Of farm wagons. The town IS
! alive with strangers who are feastinS
