The Horse Show


The Fourth Annual Exhibition
of the Clarke County Horse and
Colt Show Association, held Thurs.
day and Friday, was by far the
best of the shows ever held here.
The attendance on Thursday was
about $500, while on Friday the
crowd numbered more than 5000.
There were no serious accidents tc
the riders on either day. In the
Steeplechase on Friday Silent
Friend, ridden by Louis Leith,
fell at the last hurdle and injured
himself so badly that he died that
night.
The weather was feir and the
ground dusty on Thursday, but a
light rain at night helped the con-
ditiOns for the next day. \ gentle
drizzle fell during the events Fri
day afternoon, but there was NO
detrsction from the exhibition or
It's enjoyment by the crowd.
Music was furnished by the
Leesburg Band.
The officers of the Association.
in general and particular, are to
be congratulated upon the arrange
ments and management of the
show.
As each year since the AssOcia-
tion's organization has seen an
improved show and a largely in
creased attendance, it can be safely
predicted even this early that the
show for next year will be larger
and better in every way than the
one Just held.
On both days the order was ex-
cellent, and the crowd was wei
handled by the attendants and
ticket men.
TO sum up the exhibition, il
was first-class in every particular
the riding and driving was in ex
cellent form, and the animal.
shown were the best of their re
spective classes.
