SPLENDID PERFORMING ES


UPPERv1LLE. VA. June il.-When
the sun rose to-day the sky was almost
clear and the people of Fauauier and
Ioudoun started to the Horse SHOW.
THE rain overlook them on the road and
i, has been with them all day. The
grounds we're covered with vehicles be-
fore the first event. little a1ter
o'clock, and all day the grandstanu was
pretty well filed. There were more "o-
men than men among the spectators
curious fact very generally noted.
The rain fell almost without internis-
sion. At times the downpour was per-
feet torrent. Yet nobody PRETENDED 10
mind and every event on the programme
was pulled off as scheduled. The track
was muddy beyond conception, yet
local person told me that he hao never
seen on this or any other track general
" as good performances as those OF the
hunters to-day. This is true OF the
inmning In every event. Colonel h. n.
D,,Iany. the veteran president OF the as
ISOLATION, said this afternoon that AFTER
making careful examination ne was ,
convinced that the horses shown TINS
YEAR we're better in many respects than
those exhibited any year since the VI
sanitation of the club.
CROWD ENTHUSIASTIC.
Rut there is general regret that nluo
nrevented a, fair demonstration OF what
the homes could do. 1t was plainly cyl
dent after several jumping contests
that the animals We're well tlIeo ou.'"

11nrinr the high Jump event, late IN the
afternoon. every good performance was
greeted with uproarious applause from
the erandstand. The applause was dea1-
eninr when Bachelor, Mr.. X. Hunter

lest Local horsemen were also elated
ovar the fact that in the OPEN all
