WARR.NTON Va, August "a. 1904
The sixth annual exhibition of the War
renton Horse Show Association opened to-
day under most favorable auspices. so far
as weather conditions and attendance were
concerned. While there were not many
entries as have been seen before. the aver
age was exceeded and the falling off was
only IN the classes which attract little at
tention from the general public-that is,
the heavy draft. sucking colt and brood
mare classes. The driving classes the sad
die classes and the jumping classes were all
up to the standard and the class for hunt
ers which had never won prize was phe-
nomenally large, fifty-two horses being
shown over the jumps.
The usual horse show crowd was present
thorouhgly harmonious and typical of a
community in which horse lovers are found
IN every walk of life, from the barcfooted
negro boy without penny to the wealthy
members of old Virginia families OF the
sun Weather r 'resentatives of New
York, Philadelphia and Washington So
ciety. who find Virginia a pleasant pace
to spend the summer months. Politicians,
too, OF grea ter or lesser magnitude, were
on hand to mingle with their constituents
and those TO whom they look for support
In the coming campaign
Senator Thomas S Martin. who comes up
for reelection in the spring, and Lieut..
Gov. Joseph +. Willard, a candidate for
gubernatorial honors, We're the most prom
inent of those present while state senators
and members of the house OF delegates
were there by the carload.

blue ribbon. Mr.. Moore came second. with
w d. Benner of the Warrenton Hunt Club

class was that for hunters that had never

Daniel of Warrenton. Mrs. w. III. ASshe-
toms Hazel came second, with CORTLAND

BY far the most thrilling class of the day
was for pairs of hunters to be ridden over
the jumps abreast. The Rogers brothers

most exciting style, clearing the jumps
perfectly. CORTLAND Smith came second
and S. Russell Smith third.
