CULPEPER, Va, July 6.-Another
day of splendid performances and
enthusiastic crowds marked the con-
Guiding day of the most successful
meet over held by the Culpeper Horse
Show and Racing Association. Maj.
Writings Jack Dempsey. true to his
name, fought for honors and won
them, getting the blue ribbon in
Green hunters. handy hunters and
military classes. In lightweight
hunters the honors went to Walter
B. Bowers Keldblend, beautiful
hunter, which already has won a
championship this year in a Brooklyn
show. Mrs. d. N. Lees jumper, Hin
doc Dance. won the blue ribbon in
,the ladies hunters class, which was
one OF the most interesting OF the
days program, with the owner riding,
and both horse and rider received an
ovation from the grandstand.
Pony Jumpers.
A picturesque class, and one which
made especial appeal to the crowd,
was the ponies jumping contest. in
which the small animals, ridden by
their young owners, took jumps OF
three feet. Lad. owned and ridden by
Turner Rust Ratrie, was again the
winner in this, repeating his vic
tories of last year.
In the races for Culpeper and ad
joining counties horses, Mystery Girl
was again the winner, and Carl M.
Feltner's Low Tide showed that the
tide comes in ahead of good many
good horses in the second race.
The mile dash, twice around the
track, was the most exciting race,
Sir Mortimer got away in the lead.
which he kept until half way around
and was then passed by the favorlte,
Racket, who had been a close second
all the way. But in the last round.
just as the field thundered into the
home stretch, Dalrose forged ahead
and won.
In the steeplechase, Ben Hampshire
lost his jockey at the last jump, but
finished the race with the other
horses. His rider was slightly in
jjured.
