days ago from New York with
a party of friends, including Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Davis of Middleburg,
Mrs. Coleman of Philadelphia and
Mrs Coleman's two sons. They will
spend a month in Hungary, where
they have taken a castle for the bird
shooting.
Each member of the party will en-
deavor to shoot 5000 birds. If they
should fail to do this, they will either
have to get some one to help them
kill their quota or pay the man from
whom they rent the castle for the
birds that they do not shoot. Miss
Noland will be back in America Sep
tember S, and on September Z has
arranged to give a large dance at Fox
croft in honor of her niece, Miss
Charlotte holland Smith of Baltimore.
Virginia and Maryland social circles
will be quite deserted for the month
of August by all horse people, as every
one who possibly can is planning to
spend some time at Saratoga for the
racing season. Some will 90 for the
entire month, others 60 for two weeks,
a week, or even week end is very
exciting.
Among the many leaving for the
Spa are Mr.. and Mrs. William Street,
of Warrenton. Mr.. Street, will run
some of the good steeplechasers which
he trains. John Bosley of Maryland
is at Saratoga with his string of
steeplechasers. Arthur White of
Middleburg, who is now in Chicago,
will be there. Two of his steeple-
chase horses that are we'll known and
have been winners of many races are
Spinach and Daniel SCOT.
Admiral and Mrs. Gary T. Grayson
will leave their Virginia estate, near
Upperville. where they have been
spending the Summer, for Saratoga
early in August. Admiral Grayson's
sale of yearlings will be August l3.
William H. Lipscomb of neesburg and
Washington leaves this week for Sara
toga Springs, accompanied by his
daughter, Miss Helen Lipscomb, and
son, Ross Lipscomb. Mr.. Lipscomb's
sale of yearlings is the same night as
Admiral Grayson's.
Mr.. Lipscomb, who has been M. F.
H. of the Loudoun Hunt for several
years, recently resigned, and Judge j.
R. H. Alexander of Leesburg was elect
ed master at meeting held on Satur-
day night. Members of the hunt were
reluctant to see Mr.. Lipscomb leave
the position, as he has been most
I,,t
were delighted when our sporting
Judge" accepted the honor. Mr.. Lips
comb was then elected president of the
club. Judge Alexander has always
been a devotee of horses, and even
with the heavy duties of his judgShip
takes time to follow hounds during
the hunting season and shows his
hunters in many Virginia horse shows
during the Summer.
The Judge" is one of the best judges
of horses in Virginia, and is often asked
to decide the good classes of our horse
shows
Mr. and Mrs. Charles v. B. Cush-
man are moving into their place, Wind
sor, this week, and after getting things
arranged there they will go to Saratoga
for the racing Mr.. and Mrs. H. Rozier
Dulany of Oakley, near Upperville, are
always seen at Saratoga in August. Mr..
Dulany may not 60 this season, due to
an illness in the Spring. But Mrs. Du-
lany and her son, H. Rozier Dulany,
jr, and Miss Susan Carter of Rich

middle of August, when they will be
at Saratoga for a week.
MIR. David N. Rust, jr., leaves for
Saratoga today, and is taking his
daughter, Miss Mary Rust, and son,
David Rust, Sd. 1t is interesting and
thrilling to be at this famous watering
place, at the end of July, and to see
this otherwise dead and sleepy little
city of about $4,000 persons awaken for
the month of August to become the
gayest place in the world with $4,000
crowded into every available crack and
corner. AS the thousands arrive by
shining motors, or small cars, by trains,
on boats, in busses, trucks, or vans,
bringing every class imaginable, excite
ment runs high. There is so much to
do from 6 am, when you go to the
track to see the good ones work, until
after the sales at night, you have looked
at and seen sold so many beautiful
specimens of thoroughbred horses that
you are all mixed up.
Mr.. George Bull, president of the
Saratoga Racing Association, has been
there for weeks, seeing that the beau
tiful track and the surrounding
grounds are in order, and on opening
the several houses that he has filled
with many guests for the entire month.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry McComb Bangs
and Miss Cynthia Bangs of New York
and Middleburg will be among Mr..
Bulls guests for August.
