The horse show at Stuyve-
SAINT School at Warrenton Fri
day was a huge success and
witnessed by a large crowd.
The Alumni class was very in
teresting and a great many Of
the old boys took part and rode
well.
This class was won by Ben
Marshall, of Baltimore, one Of
the most popular boys in the
whole community ever to go to
this school. Edward Barker,
Of Warrenton, was second and
Barry Hall, of Middleburg, was
third. The hunt teams, an
other good class, was won by
Mrs. Robert Winmill and her
two daughters. MI. and Mrs.
King gave a large dinner party
for the alumni (about so of
them came) on Friday night
and afterwards there was a
most enjoyable dance given at
EtuyVeSant School.
The Junior League horse
show at Lynchburg last Satur-
day was an outstanding sue
cess. The league made well over
o $1,000 on this show and
great many good horses n ON
all over the country were en-
tered. Mrs. Cary Jackson, Of

her horses there and did well,
rs did Mr.. Jack Rinehart. V.

class, touch and out, thorough
bred saddle class, pairs of hunt"

that of Mrs. Cary Jackson were
features of the show and
caused no end of admiration.
Chatter Chat, belonging to Mrs.
Ellsworth Augustus, won many
ribbons and the championship.
Mrs. Ellie Wood Keith and lit
tie Ellie Wood Keith were very
much missed at this show, but
Mrs. Keith injured her b ck
and is laid up for a while. Her
many friends miss this excep-

hope to see her ride soon again.
This horse show was carried
out beautifully and is improv'
ing each year. There were many
horses from Lynchburg there.
Riding is getting more popular
