AND OTHER GREAT HORSES

Matinee Times as Many
Entries as Last Year in the
Harness Glass.


tc be a capital show, the greatest ever
given in this state or anywhere else eN-
cent in New York. 1t is the week to
which society and fanciers of fine horses
have long been looking forward, and
which viii without doubt attract to this
city not only the finest array Of horses,
but the greatest assemblagc of brilliant
and beautiful women and prominent
men.
Indeed, the Richmond Horse Show,
with this exhibition, will cease to be a
local affair, and after this eNhioitlon-
not TO say with this one-will be there
after q national show, and one that VIII
rank with New York and Boston and
above all the others.
HEATHERBLOoM, THE CHAMPION.
Perhaps the most interesting single
feature of the show Of October 18TH TO
Eth will be the exhibition here of Heath
erbloom, the worlds champion high
jumper, which recently cleared the bars
at Bryn Mawr Pa. at seven teet nine
and one-ouarter inches. establishing
new record never eauahea' lhis ilasi IT,.
ficent horse. owned and eXhlplted pJ
Howard Willets, of White Plains, y. y,
will be accompanied by string of thor
ouEhbred jumpers hardly less famous
among which are Cissy Grow, Toronto,
Jack, and Others. This great horse
will not only compete in the high jump
Ing contest, but will jump against his
own record in the hope of making mere
new one, even greater.
But Heatherbloom. fresh from his bril-
liant feat at Bryn Mawr two months
ago will have no Walk-away for the
honors here. He will have TO contest
FOR them with other horses hardly less
famous and with brilliant records.
Among the other great jumpers entered
for the Richmond show Is I, j. Hobo
WAYS Chappie which held the recsN
until 1t was wrcsted from him BY the
Willets gelding, and IS still formidh-
Bile aspirant for the laurels. Charles h.
Hnrkamp's Amaret, which has beaten
Heatherbloom at Madison Square Iar-
den, will again be his competitor. and
the Fredericksburg horse will be a favor
lite here, as his owner is. Another great
Jumper entered here is Richard DON
nellys bay geldlng, Rifle, which won
the high Jump at Madison Square Csr-
den last year Mt the New York show.
All these will be seen in the high jump
ing class to be shown at the maslnee
performance Wednesday, October 18th,

of jumpers ever exhibited In this couh-
try In the same class may be included
