There Is not a prettier horse show on
The circuit than that at Richmond. and 1t
only needed TO broaden It's scope little
TO command nrst place on the list OF i'm
portant events. The show Is a magnet for
Southern society. and, like the New York
National tho Richmond affair has
strong claim upon the most reputable
horse breeders OF the county With its
1 dates set for October 10Th to 21st, the
show will occur at the psychological mo-,
ment when travel sets Southwark, and
I should bring the best OF the exhibits on
che Southern circuit to focus. Had It
tho advantage OF age. the show would
to-day be consid cred the alma mater OF
all exhibitions below the Mason and Dixon
line. But even as 1t stands the Southern
circuit may safely wind up there. and
its first prize winners and champions
take priority over the winners at all other
( shows in that section as typical repro
selitatlvcs OF the South for entry at tho
New York National.
