CULPEPER, Va, July 5.-Manley
w. Carter of Orange, Va, one of the
best known sportSmen in the State
and master of Mr. Carter's hounds,
a famous fox-hunting pack. yesterday
brought to the annual Culpeper horse
show and races two young thorough
bredS of championship promise as
the exhibition ran off the flrst inning
of it's two-dsy session.
Before a horse-loving crowd which
refused to wilt in the glaring Mid
summer sun, CarterS sleek, full
bodied chestnut, Sir Coma, carried off
a pair of important blues while his
Stablemate. Crotan, turned in a series
of performances worthy of the best
young jumpers on the Virginia show
circuit.
Runners and Jumpers Compete.
In accord with its perennial tradi-
ton. which has always catered to
every type of horse flesh, the Cul-
pepper program included a number of
saddle classes and full flVe-race
card of competition for runners and
jumpers.
From the standpoint o. the die
hards who cling to old names and
histories, one of the most exciting
events of the day was the defeat of
Mrs. D. N Lees Broken Glass in the
heavyWeight hunter division. Often
dubbed the finest type that ever
walked into a Virginia show ring,
Broken Glass was left entirely out
of the ribbons in a contest which
went to Mrs. Fay Ingalls, gray Jump
ing Jack
The judges of hunter classes today
were Melvin c. Hazen of Washington
and Otto Fur of MiddlebWg, Va.
In addition to supplying one of the
chief arbiters of the proceedings, the
district equine contingent sent down
a number of ribbon winners. Mr.
and Mrs. Vernon G. Owen captured
the top honors in the ladies' saddle
class with their sturdy performer,
Jack Lightning. Miss Marjorie Nc
Leod was second with her Gulf
Breeze.
Brush Event Exciting.
There were no names reminiscent
of the great turf tradition on the
racing program today, but the four
fiat trials and one over brush never
theless added zest to the afternoons
amusement. Particularly exciting
was the final event, 212 miles over
brush, in which NJ. H. Everhart's s
Fluttering closed CALAMITY to defeat
Mrs. A. S. BOWman's Show Boat in
