horsemen have been heard to
say that something must be
done about the small horse show sit

that a plethora of small exhibits, some
OF them mismdnaged, hurt the sport
as a whole; that the solution would
lie in the formation of a league or
association to control minor meets as
larger ones are handled by the Ma

Virginia Horse Show Association.
These talkative gentlemen were kind

cusslons, and it was more or less
through some mismanagement OF dates
and hours for which l was responsible
that the plan for forming horse show
league fell through.
Well, this Saturday, day after
tomorrow, I will pay through
the nose.

shows within easy motoring distance

muddle may bring to pass. After the
scattering Of horses and spectators and
interest that undoubtedly will result
from this conflict of dates. the little
fellows who like to give a show for
their own amazement should come
forward voluntarily pleading for an
association to safeguard them against
cutting one another's throats in this
careless fashion.
