Norfolk, Va, Oct 12.-The heavy
harness contests at the Norfolk Horse
Show next week, in the four-in-hand
classes, will be three-cornered. entries
having been made by David Dunlop,
of Petersburg; c. w. Watson, of New
York, and A. Randolph Howard. At
the Lynchburg horse show last week
the contest was between Dunlop and
the CARRIER brothers. Mr.. Dunlop's
team took three blue ribbons TO one
by the CARRIERS and the latter with
Grew their horses from the show, can-
ceiling their Richmond and NOrfoIl
entries. That the Norfolk show will
not suffer by the loss of the CARRIER
stable is plainly manifested by the
excellence of the other entries in the
classes in which they would have had
horses. Especially is this tie case
in the fOur-in- hand classes in Whi"E
there will be sharp rivalry III the
Norfolk show. Large cash prizes,
amounting to nearly $500 are Offer
ed in the four-in- hand classes here.
Last year Mrs. Grosvenor's entries
We're the only ones in the four
in-nand classes, and naturally
the rivalry and the interest on
the part of the spectators will be
much greater this year.
The hunters and jumping classes
will provide the greatest sport at the
horse show next week, beginning Tues
day night Classes numbered from
26 to 40 inclusive provide for either
hunter or jumping contests and COM
petitive exhibitions and as the en-
tries are numerous and from the best
stables in America patrons of the
show will see the best sport Of the
kind that has been offered at any 9TH
er exhibition in the South.
All of the big stables that have en-
tered their strings here win be rcp-
resented. The program of hunter and
jumping classes has been so arranged
to give an equal number of events Tor
each night of the show. The specta-
tors present on the opening night,
Tuesday, will see some of the most
attractive and most exciting cards ad-
VertiSed for the entire week.
Great interest centerS, too, in the To-
cal classes and the local exhibitors.
From all of the nearby counties
horses viii come to participate with
local horses in the strictly local ard
Virginia classes and with some of the
larger stables in more ambitious clas-
ses. 1t is expected that there will be
a number of local lady riders. While
there is no single class especially for
ladies there is no restriction that
would prevent ladies from driving
and riding horses in the local and
