SEEN AND HEARD
The only accident of the show
occurred when Mr.. George Page
was thrown at the third jump on
Thursday, when This mount fell.
He was considerably shaken, but
remounted and finished.
In the death of ''Hiawatha, :" the
handsome hackney stallion of Mr..
Chas. +. Clapp, the County suffers
a great loss, as Mr.. Clapp had
placed so low price upon the
services of this horse that he was
within reach of all.
DR.. Osborne was the recipient
of many congratulations on the
performance of his handsome
brown 4-year-old, Grand Slam, :"
who won two firsts, one second.
one third and three fourths out of
seven classes. The Doctor refused
a nice offer-said to be 81, ,000-for
the animal.
The attendance is thought to
have been smaller than last year,
which was probably caused by the
withdrawal of all local advertising.
The number of entries was not
so large as last year, and some of
the classes were allowed to drag"
very slowly. More ginger" is
needed, to keep things moving.
Cutting out the steepIechase
events and inserting fat races
seems to have been very popular.
But the management will do well
to look out for the book makers.
as the law of Virginia is rather
strict in that respect, ~
Bowles Brothers Royal Swell"
is great horse, and will stand a
good chance of winning that big
cup for the most blue ribbons won
at Virginia shows this year.
There was very little drunken,
ness at the show grounds, and the
dry" town is responsible for it.
1t was stated by saloon man that
it was his belief that all the
local option elections of the State
would be set aside in short time
by the Supreme Court and that the
saloons in Berryville would reoper
