second annual exhibit Of the Lynchburg
Horse Show began this evening under
suspicious circumstances. Last year tho
big arena had no roof to 1t, and Its In
terror was rather plain, but this year 1t
rot only had q lofty DOME but Its Interior
vas deliberately decorated with the ma
tionnl colors, with a goody addition Of
yellow, and consequently there was added
to- the animated scene n wealth and vari-
ETY. Of color.
For the opening night tho size of the
crowd was most gratifying. and the in
tcrest and enthusiasm manifested showed
very clearly that the Horse Show has
won an enduring place In the hearts OF
the Lynchburg people.
The Marine Band. of Washington. was
on hand, and the selections rendered by
1t added much to 80 enjoyment of the
occasion. In connection With tho show
tho band will give q series OF concerts.
which, it Is expected, will be libernlly
patronized
The number Of entries for the exhibition
Of 1903, far exceeds that Of 1902, and this
naturally gives greater assurance OF sue
cess OF course tho women are out In
full force, and their costumes are DAG
cling and beautiful Every one OF tho
boxes have been taken and their occu-
pants, In brave array, contribute most
effective feature TO the great show.
Laughter, music and brightness are tho
order of the occasion. and there Is not
person here, who docs not pronounce the
horse show an immense achievement.
