Horse Show.

The horse show Tuesday night at
tracted quite large crowd of spec
tators to the fair grounds and the
ladies contributed their full quota to
the attendance, and in addition to
those who occupied the boxes the
grandstand was comfortably filed,
the whole forming a picture as
charming as the splendid horses in
the show rings. Some wore hats and
some wore none, but all were beauti
fully gowned and dazzling in their
beauty. Hundreds of electric lights
converted The night into garish Gay,
and this with the soul-melting
strains of mnsic,the lovely women and
spirited, prancing horses made up a
scene that was intoxicating in it's
brilliancy,
The first number on the program
was the Grand Champion Equestrian
Contest. 1t began with parade OF
fourteen couples led by Miss Mary
Brooks and Mr.. Clarence Joyce. The
superb horsemanship displayed by the
riders was at once a revelation and
An inspiration. The ladies sat their
horses perfectly, and in their chic rid
ing costumes lent an indescribable
charm to the already brilliant scene
of which they were the center, Maury
county people certainly know how to
ride the women no less than the
men. That all in this champion class
acquitted themselves Handsomely in
the skill with which. they handled
their mounts was evidenced by the
length Of time required for the judges
to reach a decision.
The judges we're T. A. Hayes, OF
Lynchburg, J. o. Baber, of Gallatin,
and w. H. Grissim, of Lebanon
Under the rules governing the con-
test no decision is possible till sa.ur-
day night, when the last ride OF the
series will be given. The judges who
voted on the initial contest last night
will be succeeded by other Judges at
the second contest Thursday night,
and they in turn will be displaced by
an entirely different set Of judges
Saturday night, when the winners
will be announced.
The second number was for gentle
men drivers to single runabouts.
There we're seven entries and Smith
Thomas was the judge. The winner
of first was JEFF Mckenzie, Of Gala
tin, who exhibited a very smart high
stopper with locked tail. Mr.. Nc
Kemie handled his horse with the

WERE DROWNED In
THE FIRE ROOM
THAT WAS THE FATE OF THE
THREE MEN ON THE NORTH
DAKOTA.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, Sept 81
According to men landing at Old Point
Comfort from the battleships, the
three men who met death aboard the
North Dakota yesterday were not kill
ed by the explosion of oil, as at first
but were drowned when
fire room No. 13 was flooded to pre-
vent the spread of the flames and the
explosion of the magazine located just
over the fire. The bodies were reoov-
cred when the compartment was
pumped out.
That the fatalities were so few is
due to the heroism of many of the
crew, who, it is said, fought their
way into the flames to drag out their
injured snipmates.

WHY FEAR LIGHTNINGY

"A contemporary asks, "Why are 81
many people brave under all other cir.
cumstances. so deathly afraid of tbun.
der and lightning?' 1t is not becauso
lightning is so dangerous. for it isn,,
half as dangerous as going out of the
mousse on an icy morning, walking down
the cellar stairs, or a hundred other
things we do every day without a
thought of personal harm. More Moo
pie are killed each year by falling build
ing material, more die from fright
than are killed by lightning. The Cen.
sus Bureau shows only 100 people killed
by lightning in this entire country dur
ing the year 1906, and only 80 of these
people were killed in the cities. Heat
and sun killed 1853 during the same wear.
2OS died from cold and freezing. and
= so were drowned. During the preva-
lence of the recent hot wave several
deaths were caused by lightning in diff
ierent parts of the country, while hun
dreds died from heat. Alexandra Ca
