Mr. w. $. Ray OF Asheville. will
havo In his string six horses that will
represent Greenville in the South
Carolina shows they are all winners
at the past shows. both in South Car
olina and in Kentucky. probably the
best known OF these horses will be
Wellington, owned by Mrs. Il. T..
Mills OF Greenville. Wellington Is an
year old brown gelding. and will
be shown In the heavy harness class
es only. He was first shown in the
South by Mr.. ID. ~. Mccullough of
Atlanta, and was not defeated at any
OF the shows where he was shown
Since being purchased by Mrs Mills,
no has been shown for two years at
the Greenville show, and has not been
defeated In his classes, being twice
winner OF the Bankers Challenge
Cup. n beautiful trophy costing
$3.50. Wellington is a brown gelding
standing l5.3 hands high; has 2.30
speed. Is perfectly sound. and the
only thing that he is afraid OF, is that
one will say whoa, and he won't hear
IL. lie is now in the pink OF condi-
ton and will be heard from in the
local classes through the circuit.
Nicholo. a bay stallion, owned by
Hon. J. A. Mccullough, the president
81 the Greenville Horse show, will be
cut for the honors in the roadster
classes, he Is q wonderful horse in
many respects; has worked mile in
AIS on a half mile track. and when
II comes to speed ne has II to burn.
Wait until Mr.. Ray sets him 20 going
then the fur will fly. Nicholo was
returned the champion of the last
Greenville show In the harness class
CO and he easily defeated all comers.
For the five-gaited horses. Mr.. Ray
will show, Jack O'Lantern, "a bay Ave-
gated gelding. that has won blues
here I'm this State and also in Ken
tucky. He is the property OF Mr.. r.
~s As""iey, A0 a. hoisc VI iots VI sttpS,
both In the rack and trot; coed in
HE slow gaits, and will make any
saddle horse that beats him work
awful hard. They can't make a mis-
take when they have Jack 10 beat,
for he does not make them.
Mr.. Ray has also a green fine har-
ta inc
out OF hackney maze that Is going
To be very troublesome to all OF the
line harness horses. He Is q golden
chestnut. standing 1872 and has the
step and air OF a real show horse. He
will like all the peayino saddle
horses. get better with age. He is a
three-year old.
Other horses will be included in the
stable. probably another gated horse.
q runabout horse. and another road
horse. that has won all over Ken
lucky: and also two champions here
In the South. This is the one that
you will have to watch.
For the local classes Mr.. Rays
stable will De as good as the best. but
will not. OF course. be up To the class
Of somo OF the northern stables that
are expected to- show through the cir
cult.
Everything points TO the shows be-
ing the greatest that have ever been
held In tho South. Cooperation will
make the South Carolina circuit and
give this State more real advertising
to the class OF people that we wish
To attract than anything else.
