days. That shadow of a champion
ship which We mentioned In q news
dispatch, turned out, however, really
to be a shadow. 1t seems the Orange
men were not dishing out champion
ships Their show ended abruptly
with the hunt teams, and left Capt.
Guilty Sark and his cronies to fight
out the question of supreme honors.
Said fighting was done in the rain
OF course, as the show ended in its
traditional rainstorm, which comes
along every Saeson on the final after
noon and settles the dust. For years
every one thought this was arranged
by the committee. but yesterday it
was obvious the cloudburst came of
its own accord-too soon.
To get back to Mr.. Carriers young
horses. Which are the talk of the tan
bark these days, two of them he
brought along from the yearling stage
Sir Coma and Crotan. Fadeless was
purchased from Ernest Redmon. Since
they began to make the rounds to-
gether. their sleek middles shining
side by side when" the ribbon line-ups
we're called. at least thousand people
have remarked, What a beautiful
hunt team they would make"
1t seems the thousand and one will
get their wishes. The three have been
sold. Buyer undisclosed. Price a Sc
cret. but rumored to be in five figures
Mr.. Carter says they are sold, and
that he has leased them for the show
season himself.
ORANGE was satisfactory from
~ the standpoint of crowd, horses
and judging. but like others on
the Virginia circuit this year seemed
to lack that je ne sais quot which
once made these little county con-
tests comparable to the great shows
Of New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey.
There were scores of pleasant hap
peningS. but one stood out above all
others-the unflinching courage of
Elizabeth NeSbit, who, handicapped
by past injuries from an automobile
accident, took two bad spills, but
came up smiling and game every
time. Her refusal to surrender the
sport of showing. the odds being what
they are, has made Miss Nesbit one
Of the most popular exhibitors In all

every one has turned a deaf ear to
any mention of building-even now
conditions are cnly slightly better,
although one insurance concern is
studying builders plans for $780,

around four years, waiting an in
