swooped down on the Richmond show
and swept the ribbons, there were
many high-class horses here, and again,
when Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt and
the Watson stable and others came. the
high standard was maintained. This
year Reginald G. Vanderbilt Is here
Instead OF Alfred; both G. Nv. and
George Watson are here, with some
full ribbon winners, and Lehman Strauss

the Westchester Farm. and other large
strings, will make the going lively
for the llonors. - 8
