The outlook for the third annual exhi-
bition of the Richmond Horse Show Assoc
citation is of the brightest description and

Anderson and Secretary w. O. Warthen,
arc in high feather The show will be
held during the week of October - to II,
but even this far ahead every box has
been engaged and applications daily both
in person and by letter are being received
for reserved seats.
Many improvements are being made IN
the big horse show building at Reservoir
Park In the way Of increased room and
otherwise, but even at that the vast
building will likely be more crowded than
last fall, when the attendance far exceed
ed all expectations. The prize list mas
been enlarged and more classes added.
Is an Indication that harness horses Will
be prominent and that the classes for both
high steppcrs and roadsters Will be well
filled. It Is true that Virginia Is the
great Southern stamping ground for
breeding and developing hunters, Jum-
pers and park saddlers, and of these
grand array will parade, but quite num-
Der OF trotters are also bred In the State,
while outside resources are literally
drawn on, hence that division should be
we'll represented and the entry list OF
fast roadsters from Richmond alone
promises to be- a marked feature OF the
exhibits.
