shows declare that the facilities here are
much superior to those afforded at any
other place in the country save in the
case of New York and Chicago. The redi-
ness with which the people of Richmond
and those from all sections of the State
have entered into the spirit Of the enter
prise bespeaks the interest of Virginians
in exhibitions of horse flesh The associ-,
alton is upon sound financial footing,
and with an established amphitheatre for
horSe-show purposes, and a universal sup
port on the part of the patrons, future
exhibitions are guaranteed and that, too,
of a high order. The leading magazines
Of the country recognize the energy of the
local association and the character
of the exhibits, and it is not unreasonable
to argue that the Richmond Horse Show
Association will be fixture of its kind
in the United States. The breeding Of
high-class horses has become quite an
industry in Virginia, and is entitled to
support as a commercial enterprise Of
merit There are few States in the Union
who. by climate, physical advantage, and
prestige, are better for the development
Of high-grade horses than Virginia. A
large sum of money has been invested in
the stock farms of the State devoted 70
the breeding of harness, saddle, and COM
bination horses, as well as to that of
hunters and jumpers. In the latter class,
especially, Virginia has produced stock
that has made reputation wherever It
has been exhibited. To the fox-hunting
class Of Virginia Is due the evolution of
the show-ring hunter and jumper, a.
class that always interests the spectator

social features of the exhibition
where beautiful women will be seen
in the snartest frocks that the modiste
can create for the occasion. Along the
promenade in front of the boxes encir-
cling the arena there will be a constantly
moving throng, adding life and animation
to the scene. In the tiers Of seats Slop-
ing from the boxes to the great mass of
spectators will be seated thousands. Some
will be there to see the horses, and all
will be present to see the people.
Nothing has been left undone by the
management that could add to the sue
cess of the exhibition. To the untiring
industry of President J.. T. Anderson,
Secretary w. Q. Warthen, and Manager
c. w. Smith, is due the success that has
thus far attended the exhibition. These
gentlemen have given their time and abil-
ity to bring to this city an aggregation

single hitch in the plans from their incep-

the numerous horse shows in the State
would tend to minimize the interest in
the one to be held in this city, but the
contrary has proven true, for most of the
exhibitors at the shows in the State have

result that the number of entries this

lucid Information.

Mrs. Thomas NJ. Patterson, wife OF
the new senator from Colorado, is
best known at home for her work in
the promotion of educational and
philanthropic enterprises. She has
been especially interested in the art
decorations of the schools of Denver,
and was the leading spirit in the
movement which raised and expended
many thousands of dollars in this w DIRK.
The pictures were Braun photo
graphs, Copley prints and other high
class reproductions of the worlds
great paintings The latter, as every
one knows, run largely to Biblical
and NEUROLOGICAL figures. Under her
management an entertainment was
given TO raise funds to decorate a GER
tain building, and the pupils were
asked to sell tickets. One boy. took
ticket to his father, explained the
object, and solicited patronage.
Pictures said his father. what
kind of pictures do they put up?"
''Oh, Jesuses and Venuses," said the
boy-N. Y. Times.

Manila, March 3.-While Gov.
Flores, of the province of Rial, was
chasing Felizardo and his band of
Ladrones over the hills of Cavite
province, Felizardo, at the head of 25
men armed with rifles, entered the
town of Cainta, in Morong province,
and captured the presidente of Cainta,
Senior Ampil, and majority of the
police of the town. Senior Ampil has
long been known as an enthusiastic
American sympathizer and it is
feared that he may be killed by the
enraged Ladrones. A strong force of
constabulary has been sent to effect
his release.

TO UNITE RURAL SCHOOLS.
In Western Kansas the Newspapers Are
.Agitating the Question and Each
Side Has Advocates.

Topeka, Kan, March 3.-The tax
payers and the teachers of the sew
eral counties of Kansas have taken
up the question of school consolida-
ton with much interest. All the
county papers are full of it and both
sides of the question have numerous
advocates. The question, of course,
is the consolidation of rural schools,
and the objects sought are a reduc-
ton of expense and better schools.
1t is not proposed to touch city
schools in a township and to convey
the pupils by wagons at public eX-
penSe.
