father. About eighty years ago they
were sold out of the Smith family and
James p Smith has but recently con-
cluded the deal for their purchase.
Great preparations are being made for
the Culpeper horse show on the grounds
outside of Culpeper. A large and up-to-
date stable has been built for the further
accommodation of the many horses that
have been entered. and a substantial ad-
dition is being built to the grandstand,
as the present one, though unusually
capacious proved last year inadequate
to accommodate the crowds. The show
this year will be July and 4, the usual
dates, and numbers of fine horses from
all parts of Virginia Charleston, w.
Va; Baltimore and Kentucky have al
ready been entered. The fiat racing.
which the formation of these grounds
permits, always proves most attractive,
as well as the steeplechase, with which
the days program always concludes.
