Charge County Horse and Colt Snow As
ISOLATION was record breaker, both in
point|of attendance for closing day
and In tile program shown. Bright
sunshine brought out crowd of fully
1000 people, and all Joined in pro-
nouncing the show just closed the
greatest in the Virginia circuit OF
shows.
Experts say that this years show
markedly proves that the horse shows,
certainly in this vicinity. have
accomplished the purpose for which
they We're organized: that is, improved
the strain of horses raised This Is
especially noticeable in heavy draft
classes and in the hackney classes
The colts shown to-day especially in
the latter class, give promise OF grow
ing into horses destined to be winners
in the future.
In the green hunter class shown to-
day, w. a. Dearmont and j. NJ III.
ciaggett were thrown at the jumps,
both escaping without injury, these
constituting the only mlshaps of the
day. The grandstand was especially
enthusiastic, greeting each good per-
torrance with rounds of applause.
In the pony class, when little Charlie
Clapp, eight years old, handled his
pony like veteran, and captured the
blue over all competitors, the people
went wild. The sporting tandem and
the Corinthian classes were also popr-
lar with the crowd, and well merited
the enthusiasm they called forth.
Mr.. CT. Il. Taylors four-in-hand of
ponies, with two little children as pas
sengers. was one of the features of the
day. The heat races proved much more
exciting than was anticipated, King
of Spades winning only after hard
contest with Teagerts.
