between Roanoke and Bristol and from
as far south as Winston Salem ~ c.
This is a great horse breeding coun-
try, and the people OF this section OF
the State make a speciality OF fine
saddlers and drivers. Men and women
in this picturesque and beautiful noun
tain country ride horseback freely on
business and for pleasure, the result
being to encourage the raising and
| training OF fine saddlers to greater
extent than in many other sections
| OF the State
The managers OF the Pulaski Ascot
alton claim that they exhibit annually
the finest class OF gate saddlers and
harness horses shown anywhere in
| Virginia. and declare that this opinion
is shared in by many prominent and
| capable Eastern Judges.

many as twenty-one we'll gated sad.
