quarters in the saddle, and soon came
to grief. Not so with our horse-men
and horse women. That was an In
teresting and inspiring scene which
was witnessed on our Main street on
last Friday afternoon, when graceful
riders, mounted on spirited steppers
went galloplng by. The clatter Of
hoofs on the hard pavement mingled
with exclammations Of delight made
soul-stirring music, while the graceful
poise, the dextrous handling Of reins,
the flash Of eyes and the health-howers
blooming out on cheeks all aglow with
excitement, gave rich coloring to the
moving pictures.
The Herald, only recently suggested
q RELOCATION Of the rubber tire to the
rear, and the leading Of the saddle
horse to the front, and begs now to Inf
its hat to the passing pageant.
Madames Anderson, Venable, Rich
ardson, with Misses Martin and John
son were the ladies in the mount
while Messrs. Agnew, Martin, and
Drs. Beckham and Crute were the
gentlemen riders.

Miss Clair Woodruff entertained in a
delightful manner, a number Of her
friends on Friday at the home Of Mr..
Fred Bugg. The most interesting fea-
ture Of the evening was the large paper
heart hung on a curtain. In this large
heart were a series Of smaller hearts,
each one representing different fate.
Each girl, after being blind-folded,
stood before the heart aud made an at
tempt to pin an arrow in the centre
heart, which heart foretold a happy
marriage Another feature was the
hunting for hearts which had been hid
den under books, rugs. etc. The most
successful one in the game was Miss
Lucy Manson, she having found the
greatest number. A dainty little prize
in the shape Of a picture Of cupid was
awarded to Miss Jessie Whitmore for
having pinned the arrow nearest the
centre heart. Original little souvenirs
were given each girl present, after
which delightful refreshments were
served,

The Chrisiy Pictures.

Those who love good pictures and
who are familiar with the many de-
lightful ones by Howard Chandler
Christy, will be glad Of an opportunity
to see some Of his original black and
white wash drawings.
The Normal school has been fortu-
uate enough to secure for two or three
weeks five Of his illustration from "The
Maid-at-Arms," by Robert w. Cham
bers, valued at seven hundred and
fifty dollars. They are on exhibition
in the school Assembly Hall every
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday after
noon from four to six o'clock.
An admission fee Of ten cents is
charged to pay the expenses Of trans
portation and insurance. Ii is hoped
that very many will avail themselves
Of this rare opportunity to see the ex-
cellent work Of one Of our foremost ar
fists.
Should this exhibition prove to be a
success an effort will be made to secure
others.

County Court Day.

Last Monday was the regular Febru'
airy term for the county court Of Prince
Edward, Judge Crute presiding, and
perhaps the last February term Of q
county court which will ever be held
in the county.
The day was what the Englishman
would call "nssty one." The rain
came down briskly, the mud must
have been knee-deep, and the result
was that there were but few sovereigns
in attendance. Our people would do
well TO remember that with this year the
county court system ends in Virginia,
and If they wish to see much OF
departing friend they sOuld to call

now and the beginning Of a new year.
