THE LIST OF PREMIUMS AWARDED Largest Attendance in the History ‘of the Association. PROGRAM IN DETAIL Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. FAIR GROUNDS, MANASSAS, Va., August 31, 1808, The third annual horse show of the Prince William Horsemen's Association came to a close this evening, after a most success- ful run of two days. The attendance today was considerably larger than that of yes- terday and aggregated nearly 4,000 persons, the largest patronage in the history of the association. Tho heat was terrific during tho morning session, but as evening drew on a refreshing breeze sprang up and cool- ed off the atmosphere to a great extent. Prof. Will A. Haley’s band was on the grounds early and furnished excellent mu- sic while the exhibitors and visitors were arriving. The grand stand was packed be- fore the arrival of the judges, and the rail- ing surrounding the exhibition ring was quickly occupied with anxious spectators. The 11 o‘clock train from Winchester, Va., brought down a crowd of nearly two hundred visitors, while the local train of the Southern railway running between the fair geounds and Manassas brought out large crowds on every trip. A large pro- portion of the spectators was made up of people from the surrounding country, who look upon this annual event as having made the town of Manassas famous as a horse center. Samuel Walter Taylor of New York was one of the judges in the sporting tandem class and the pony class. In the afternoon session he assisted Mr. Joseph Holloway, formerly of Chevy Chase, Md., in judging the jumping and saddle horses. Representative John Ryan, speaker of the Virginia house of delegates, was the guest of the directors of the association at to- day's session. At 10 o'clock the judges resumed the work of judging from the point where they left off on the program at the close of yes- terday’s session. Premiums Awarded.

The story of a war loan was interestingly told by Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Vanderlip yesterday at the session of th American Social Science Association at Sar- atoga, N. Y. “Gold and gunpowder,” Mr. Vanderlip said, “ are equal requisitions in modern warfare. A rich treasury and a potential ability to add almost without limit to its riches must have played a great part in robbing Spain's men and commanders of courage and hope, and must have been im- portant élements contributing to the down- fall of Spanish power. “To trace the financial problem which the war forced upon the country, to follow the “means devised by Congress which were brought into play, to record the triumph of war fnanciering—as complete in its way as the victories of the navy and army—is therefore an essential and important chap- ter of war history. “War expenditures jumped in a moment from nothing at all to a million and a quar- ter a day, and the resources had to be in- stantly provided. Not alone were the sud- den requirements of an expensive naval and military campaign met, the fleet doubled in numbers, fortifications strengthened, arma- ment purchased, empty war chests filled with ammunition, and an army of 200,000 men equipped and transported to the fteld. Provisions hd to be made for more than that. It was an indefinite problem the treasury had to face.” Of the bond issue, Mr. Vanderlip said: “If it had been possible to accept all the subscriptions aggregating $1,400,000,000, and those subscriptions had been paid for in currency, it would have taken seven-ninths of all the money in circulation; it would nave taken three times the entire amount of cash held in the 3,600 national banks of the country. Every subscription made by the syndicate, corporation, association, or firm, has been rejected, under the law the subscriptions of individuals were to be wiven preference over aggregated forms of wealth. The loan has been confined to the subscriptions of individuals in amounts of $4,500 and less, the law requiring that the humbler investors should be favored by providing that allotments should first be Tade to those individuals who had sub- scribed for the smallest amounts. “More than half of the loan, or more than $100,000,000, has gone to 230,000 peo- ple, each of whom subscribed for $500 or less. Fully 320,000 peopie applied for the bonds, or almost 100,000 more than the number of men enlisted for the war with Spain. “The department has never before under- taken so great a task as this floating of a strictly popular loan. In issuing $262,000,000 of bonds during the last administration the department had to deal with about 5,700 people. It has been quite a different thing to enter into relationship with 320,000 sub- seribers of the loan of 1898. More than 500 additional clerks were employed, most of whom are still at work. These were com- pensated out of the appropriation for the expense of the loan, which was one-tenth of 1 per cent, or $200,000, not a penny of which went as commissions. The expense of issuing $1,300,000,000 of bonds during the refunding operations from 1871 to 1879, being one-ha!f of 1 per cent, amounted to ‘more than $6,000,000. ———_+e+___ Gen. Lawton’s Death Roll.
