SOCIETY At THE HORSE SHOW
Fashionable Washington Not Slow to
Pay Him Homage at Annual
Exhibit

Under a canopy of bright skies his
majesty, King Horse, held sway in
Washington for the greater part OF
horse show week, the occasion being
the second annual exhibit of the Ma
tional Capital Horse Show association.
Fashionable Washington was not slow
to pay him due homage, and the
flower-bedecked grandstand and
boxes, as well as the sawdust prom
enade around the ring, were thronged
each day from shortly after noon until
well-nigh to o'clock.
An inspiring musical program was
furnished each afternoon, the musi-

Meyer Band and the Engineer Ban6

Some exceptionally smart spring
feminine toilettes made their debut
in the boxes and grandstand each day

Neat!

A Washington man called upon a
charming but homely woman, who had
not long before had her portrait paint
ed. The artist had done his work well,
from a friendly point Of view, and the
lady was correspondingly pleased.
She was not, however, so blind as not
to see that the portrait was, as one
might say, a trifle "idealized.'
As she exhibited it to her caller she
said: What do you think of It? Has
not the artist rather flattered me?"
The visitor looked at the picture,
then at the lady, and with an eloquent
sigh answered: "Ah, my dear lady,
how could painter sit in your com
pany and not fatter you?"

DR.. HATFIeLD's CANDIDACY.

Dr. Hatfield. president OF the senate,
and candidate for the Republican nom
ination for governor. is a distinguished
visitor in the city. Dr. Hatfield comes
from the extreme southern section OF
the state. and naturally has not an
extensive acquaintance with the PEG.
pie in the northern Panhandle. on
the occasion Of a former visit some
months ago. he made a very favorable
impression upon a large number OF
people who met him. Some time since
the lntelligencer published excerpts
from the platform on which Dr. Hat
field appeals to the voters in West
Virginia.
He favors the employment OF con
victs on state and county roads.
He favors special amendments to
the criminal code. permitting youthful
offenders 10 be sentenced 20 employ

electorate. The same condition OF af-
fairs prevailed in Pennsylvania. where
less than one-thlrd OF the Republican
vote was cast. Even in the Ohio
county primary. after n spirited con
test. the vote was only about SOC, Of
the total. To Elorify primaries OF
this kind as decisive indications OF
popular will. is neither fair nor honest.
A small. active and noisy minority can

easily as in mass conventions or else

be an important factor in the result.
