A GOOD LIST OF ENTRIES.
BIG CROWDS ATTEND THE
COLT SHOW.
Red Cloud Was The Winner In
The Colt Class - The

Today.

Bright skies and pleasant breezes
brought crowds yesterday TO the West
River Colt Show at Galesville. Messrs.
Ellzey, Cheston and Murray were the
originators of the West River Colt
Show and they have yearly broadened
its scope.
This year they gathered together
the best list of entries in the history
of the organization. The opening yes.
terday was most successful and a
larger attendance than in any previous
year was recorded. Two boats, the
Ereliffe and the Kitty knight, car
ried many passengers from Annapolis
to the show both yesterday and today.
In addition TO the large crowd of
handsome and we'll bred animals from
the lower end of Anne Arundel and
Calvert counties there were a number
of local horses entered, many of which
took the coveted ribbons from all com.
petitors.
In the last event of yesterdays pro-
gram. that of combination, driving
and riding horses, Miss Caroline
Brownson' little grey mare Diana,
was awarded second place and got the
red ribbon. In this event the animals
were shown in the ring first hitched
to vehicles and driven by ladies with
their saddle and riding paraphernalia,
carried in the trap After this the
horses were saddled by grooms in the
ring andimounted by their fair riders
we're again put through their PAGES,
to the tune of gay music and hand
clapping.
In the concluding event Captain
Willard ii. Brownson's bay stallion
Wade Hampton, took first prize in Me
ladies gated saddlers class, with
Miss Brownson up In this event An

wonder we're heard ON all sides at the

shown one gentleman remarking that
he was amazed to know that such fine
horsefiesh was to be found in the coun-

were canahla of winning priaoS in big
ger shows than that of yesterday.
