THE Fauquier-Loudoun polo team
l played a good fast game Sat-

the rain, was in fine condition; the
DAY was one of the loveliest of the
spring and every one enjoyed being
out and sitting around the sidelines
The Whites won over the Blues, in
cidentally, 81. Playing on the win

The team was to have played at
Lexington last Wednesday against the
v. NJ. 1. team, but was kept at home
by the heavy rain. The players were
all ready to get into their cars for
the trip at 1890 am. and the ponies
we're on their way in vans, when a
telephone call came from V. M. I.
saying it was raining too hard to play
The team gave up the trip and the
ponies we're reached somewhere on
the road by telephone and ordered
back home. However, the game will
be played at Lexington Wednesday.

On Airmail Week.
In passing through Hillsboro, in
Ioudoun County, Va. especially at
this time of year when the road is so
full of people going to Charles Town
to the races, you see many cars stop
to read marker on the main street of
the little village situated in the foot
hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains
which says-'This is the birthplace of
Susan Koerner Wright, April 80 1881
July 4, 1889 Mother of WILDER and
Orville Wright. inventors of the air.
=, plane. A notable woman who largely
guided and wisely inspired her sons to
their immortal discovery"
Last week Loudoun County. along
With the rest of the Nation celebrated
Airmail Week, but this county, one
of the Oldest in this part of the State
takes pride in its special stamp which
l. reads: "Loudoun County, Va.-Birth-
place of Susan Koerner Wright, mother
of the Wright brothers, May 1921"
|, Then the name of the LOudoun County
Post Office that cancels the airmail
stamp. The Hillsboro Post Office was
given a stamp a little different from
the rest with its name above the
Loudoun County.
Sd,ast week the number who stopped
to read the marker and to look at the
place where the mother of the Wright
brothers was born, increased each day,
and many motored there just to see the
place. The lovely, quiet little village
was decorated with flags and filled
with pride over its daughter. Susan
. Wright has been dead for 40 years, but
there are friends and relations living
nearby to tell stories of her.
More Twin Colts.
And now another interesting thing
has happened in Loudoun County, near
about twin thoroughbred colts foaled
on Mr.. William H. Lippscomb's Rasp-
berry Plain breeding establishment.
Inquiries about them have come to
me from all parts of the United States,
and their pictures. which were sent to
any number of papers, have been sent
back here to me from North, South,
East and West.
have just heard today about other
twin colts foaled at Mr.. David Rust's
breeding establishment near Leesburg,
which are still living; one colt is bay
and the other brown. but one is larger
and stronger than the other, whereas
the first twins I wrote of are about
the same size and both strong.
DR.. Howard and Dr. Drake, both of
Geesburg, were in attendance at the
births of both pairs of twins and DR..
Drake says that in over 80 years of
practice they are the only ones he has
seen live.
Vhe new twins are by Time Maker
out of Kinson. Their dam is a stake
winner, having won S54.560 for her
owner, Mr.. Frank A. Carreard of
Texas. who also owns Time Supply.
Mr.. Carreard sent his mare to Virginia
to be bred to Time Maker and the
twins are the result. They are get
ting stronger every day and are fed
cows milk several times during the
"a hours. I will have a picture of
them for publication in short while,
after they get strong on their legs.
Notes.
Mr.. Reiman Mcintosh, Mr.. and
Mrs. David Mcintosh and Mr.. De
OSurcey Wright Of Baltimore had
luncheon with Mr.. and Mrs Southgate
Morrison at Redgate Sunday, then
spent the afternoon motoring over the
country looking at horses-steeple-
chase prospects and hunters. Mrs.
Mcintosh wanted a good lady,s hunt
er. After seeing many around Lees
burg and Middleburg. they went home
by Warrenton. where they stopped
with Mr.. North Fletcher. Mrs. Will
liam Corcoran Eustis has closed her
Washington house and has come down
TO Virginia to her summer home,
Oatlands, near Leesburg. The place
Is 4ooking particularly lovely and the
garden is a mass of blooming flowers.
