The second day of the Warrenton Horse
Show Associations exhibit was record
breaker. so far lively exhibitions OF
horsemanship and attendance were con-
cerned. An eager throng awaited the ap-
pearance of riders and mounts In the
grassy arena. In fact. the horse was idol
ICED here today. and every dashing per-
formance brought forth round OF ap-
plause The ladies' riding classes were
especially interesting. and their skill in
plotting their steeds around the circuitous
course and over the jumps was truly re-
markable. AS for the horses themselves.
they were astonishingly human-arched
necks and proud bearing told the story Of
high ambitions. Picturesque in their cos
tunes were the gentlemen who rode today,
many being attired in white stocks. smart
hunting coats and high boots. The enor-
nous success Of the Warrenton horse show
this season is a fair prediction OF what
may be expected in future years. The
judges chosen for this occasion were high
ly competent, and their decisions gave gem
eraI satisfaction. The management is well
pleased with the success of the show as
whole, and looks upon tcday's exhibits as a
signal triumph. The most interesting events
of tie afternoon were the Corinthian. the
four-in-hand and the sporting tandem
classes.
Tomorrow evening a fashionable assem-

as large as it was yesterday. A conserva-
tive estimate of the attendance today would
be about 1000. and the promenade was
filled to the crushing point. The cup class
at II o'clock was the most interesting event
Of the morning. The cup in question was
donated by Joseph E. Willard to the win
