IYNCHBURG, VA, September o.
Lynchburg is to have, during the first
week In October, tho best Horse Show
ever held In the State Of Virginia. This
seems broad statement, for Virginia is
essentially the home of the horse show,
but the Lyu,chburg mana cement makes
the claim confidently with the full as
surance that its list of entries Will sup
port this claim. This does not necessar-
lily mean noa' does the association claim
that 1t has the largest number Of en-
tries ever listed by any Virginia assoc
citation, though there are few which can
boast of more entries, but it does mean
that each and every one of tho forty
classes of tho show has been fill
ed and we'll filled by as high class lot
Of Virginia horses as We're ever shown
In any ring I'm the State.
Ono has but TO glance at he list OF
exhibitors and their entries to see that
this will be no one mans horse show,
but that theme will be competition, and
the kcenest sort Of competition In every
class. With CARRIER & CARRIER, a. Ran
doph Howard, David Dunlop, A. M.
Chisolm. Herring g. Meitz, Joseph Hall
& Son. and n long string Of others in the
harness classes: Mrs, Allen Potts, DR.. c.
son, c. Fl. Hurcamp. CARRIER & CARRIER,
David Dnnlop. Julian Morris and others
in the saddle classes G. H. Hurcamp,
U. D. Benner Blair Johnson G. W..
Smith, w. 8. Sewers. John 8. Gaines. r.
A. 3. Portman, II. G. Horrng. Mrs. Allon
Potts, Julian Morris, s. Russell Smith,
Portncr Bros, c. Il. Iioof, Jr., Arthur
White, G. C. Anderson, II. G.. Mitchell and
others too numerous to mention In the
hunter classes, 1t can readily DO seen that
there nra few horse exhibitors OF any
prominence In the Old Dominion who will
rot be represented with entries at the
Lynchburg Show.
Many Fine Strings.
Thsre are Il number OF strings offun-
usually high class horses but 1t Is not
likely that any one stable Will carry off
the lons share of the honors, as Is tho
case In those shows where northern
harness horses are shown, The Lynch
burg show Will BIO anybody's show, and
the Judges will have hard time to de-
,ermine where to place tho ribbon.
The three exhibitions held In this city
;Indcr The auspices Of the association,
have aroused dect fpterest In this city,
and section. in things that pertain to the
horse, and the locrl classes OF the show
are we'll filled. and In addition many of
the local exhibitors will show In the open
clagsGa,
Arrangements wen perfected this week
by which the Roanoke Machine Works.
