CHARLOTTESVILLE. VA, August
1.--Although 90 per cent. Of the horses
entered for the Albemarle show are
locally owned, the first day of the
seventh annual exhibition was declared
by the judges the best on the Virginia
circuit thus far.
The silver cup offered by the mer-
chants Of Charlottesville for the best
performance over four consecutive
Jumps was won BY Miss English, a
winner at allithe big shows, notably
at Chicago. The same mare captured
the 500 prize in the final event-the
high jump.
Mrs. Allen Potts's chestnut mare
freight, which is jumping in fine
form this season. was accorded an
ovation when she annexed the blue In
the class for lightweight hunters.
Royal Regent won the runabout
class, but CARRIER & CARRIERS mare
Lady Gay, driven by Frank CARRIER.
did superbly, and really made the ele-
giant son Of Bowbels and Redn1ore
put up brilliant performance. A. Ran
dolph Howard, the fredericksburg
banker. who owns Royal Regent, drove
the shapely brown gelding, which APP
| parently was never in better form.
It is Of interest to note that Royal
Regent Is one Of the richest bred trot-
ters that have essayed to win in. a.
show ring. Before being locked and
taught to step high he could show sem
sational speed at the trot With bril-
liant action hc combines rare form and
finish. and his victory was most
| popular one.
/ The great Improvement in the class
| Of horses exhibited to-day demon
strates what a powerful factor the
/ Albemarle Horse Show has been in
Improving the standard. Several Of
/ the classes brought out fields of en-
tries that would have proven highly
/ creditable to a far more pretentious
affair than this.
The weather was perfect. and while
the crowd was not so large as in for
mer years. much enthusiasm prevailed.
