Horse Show.

The Orange Horse Show closed yes
terlay. Chief interest in the afternoon
session was aroused when the class for
hunt club teams was called. Then the
scene was most imposing one. A
couple of teams made up of three horses
each was shown. Both were entered by
CORTLAND II. Smith. Mr.. Smith, Mrs.
Smith and Mr.. McLawe we're the riders.
Both gentlemen wore silk hats and pink
coats, while Mrs. Smith was attired in a
dark habit with silk hat also. Up-to
Date, Chappie Lee and Yarick made up
the first team, and Vesta, Tip Top and
Lucy Sutherland took the jumps in fine
style in the next one. A clever lot of
ladies' hunters were paraded and some
splendid exhibitions of equestrianism wit
messed. Amaret, the crack high jumper,
with Mrs. Charles Hurkamp up, was on
his good behavior, and, and the we'll
known son of Young Brennan responded
perfectly to the fine hand of his mistress.
Miss SHELTON, of Richmond, bold and
fearless horsewoman that she is, handled
her mount with ease and skill, as did
other ladies who rode. Miss Daniels
horse fell and rolled over her, but the
plncky little woman was undaunted.

No Abduction.

An item in this column Wednesday in
reference to a man who was here that
day telling people he was of the Burns
detective force and that he was looking
for woman who had abducted a grand

Militiamen in a Storm.

The District of Columbia militia was
scattered over the major part of Loudoun
county last night, and during the day
they experienced one of the severest
storms that has passed over that portion
of Virginia in years. Many of the men
are suffering from the heat and long
march of yesterday, and it will be several
weeks before they will have fully recov-
cred from the work they did yesterday.
Today promises to be still more severe
day, inasmuch as the entire day will be
spent in maneuvers in which every en-
listed man not in camp last night will
participate. Probably 80 per cent. OF
the brigade is unfit for duty, and 70 per
cent of the men we're quartered und'r
shelter tents in various parts of the coun-
ty last night. But for the heavy rain
yesterday afternoon, the maneuverS
would have been successful. The troops
will return to Washington tomorrow.
