the trains, in buggies and automo-
biles and other conveyances, and
there was considerable life in
the town all day. The purses were
large ard attractive and some blood

for them.
The judges were George A. Hol-
derness of Tarboro; w. H. Dali, Jr.,
of Greenville; A. Paul Kitchin and
N. A. Riddick, of Scotland Neck,

men and we'll versed in the rules of
