__THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SEPTEMBER 28, 1924—PART 1. 19 FAIRFAX 10 OPEN - FAIR WEDNESDAY Fine Equestrian Display to Be Offered on Program Covering Three Days. With a number of well known strings of race horses already entered and many blue-ribbon entries sched- uled for the horse show, turf fans and horse lovers menerally are as- sured of an unusually fine equestrian exhibition at the eleventh annual Fairfax fair, which opens Wednesday on' the fair grounds at Fairfax, Court House, Vu. according to statéments of fair officials. Races will be held daily in the afternoon on the half-mile track owned by the Fairfax County Fair Association. The track has been given its finishing touches and stables and other building have been repaired and put into condition for the three- day meet. Several groups of sprinters will come to the Fairfax races direct from the Fredericksburg fair, just closing, it was announced last night by Clif- ton Laughlin, president of the fair association, and general manager of the fair. Mr. Laughlin is arranging personally for the races. C. N. Seltner has entered his popular string of runners, among which rac- ing fans will recognize such names as Arra-go-on, Bill Simons, Low Tide, Bal Rose, G Bonnet, 'and Little River. Seltner horses now are at Fred- ericksburg. Leith Bros. have entered Nonesuch, Sulphur, and one or two other track horses, now also at Fredericksburg. Old Gold, the speedster, owned by H. C. Avers of McLean, Va., will be at the barrier. and J. Horace Barnes of Fairfax will put his horse, Adnal, in_the steeplechase event The annual horse show is being ar- ranged by stler M. Palmer, Arling- ton County horseman, assisted by J. Horace Barnes and Edward R. Connor of Manassas. Among Washington horse owners who have entered show animals are Charles Carrico, who will have four or five saddle horses and hunters at the fale; George Mullin, with several riding horses and jumpers; Raymond Norton, Emory Galliher, Conrad Smith, the Jackson, the Point to Point Riding School, the Wardman Park Saddle Club and the Riding and Hunt Club. The last named club will have a team of hunters present, while the other entrants will show thoroughbred saddle horses, hunters, harness horses, ete. The veteran show horse, Bric-a- Brac, owned by Supt. Palmer, and which has not been exhibited in com- petition since walking off with the blue ribbons in the heavy-harness class at the National Capital horse show several ons ago, will be en- °d at the show this year. Bric-a- is a hackney stallion Mrs. D. N. Lee of Middleburg, whose horses won six firsts and four secon. at the National Capital horse show last spring. will show her string, as will E. L.

Knight, 2104 Eye street northwest, and William A. Gormley, 2413 Eight- eenth street northwest, second lieu- tenants of engineers, and Raymond M. Peak, 2839 Twenty-seventh street northwest, as first lieutenant of in- fantry. Lieuts. Knight and Gormley both hold commissions in the 121st Engineers, being commissioned from Company C, 1st Battalion, 121st En- gineers, and both are members of the C Company Association. Lieut. Peak is commander of the 29th Mili- tary Police Company. Many Na- tional Guardsmen hold reserve corps commissions, and Maj. Walter W. Burns, commanding the 260th Artil- lery, will establish a school at the Coast Artillery armory, foot of Sev- enth street southwest, within the next few weeks for the purpose of training commissioned and non-com- missioned officers for the 260th Ar- tillery and to fit them for commis- sions in the Officers’ Reserve Corps. Maj. Louis C. Brinton, senior Na- tional Guard instructor for the Dis- trict, will be in charge. The following training schedule for Tuesday night's imstruction of the 121st Engineers has been announced by Col. John W. Oehmann, command- ing: 8:15 to 8:45 p.m. close order drill, reference, training regulations 420-50; section '3, 8:45 to 9:15, guard mounting, training regulations 135-5, and from 9:15 to 9:45, engineering, including rigging and_knot making, reference Engineer Field Manual, pages 174 to 182. The recent plans to insure the Dis- trict guardsmen did not meet with favor by the guardsmen and the 121st Engineers, which was the first unit that the insurance company was to make efforts to insure, rejected the proposition. It is pointed out that in the States where the group insurance plan among guardsmen has been fol- lowed that the State bought the in- surance and furnished, or partly fur- nished, it to the men, but even though the District guardsmen felt that they were not being given the same ad- vantages as guardsmen from the States. The Veterans' Association of the old 3d District of Columbia Infantry met at the armory Friday night. The as- sociation had planned to have a re- union October 4, but due to the other public affairs that have been arranged for that date it was decided to post- pone it until later in the month Henry Loveless is commander, E. A Berlinsky, secretary, and Sergt. C. O. Howard, histortan. Sergt. Howard is compiling a history of the old 3d Dis- trict of Columbia Infantry and espe cially of those men who served ot the Mexican border. Reports from Camp Perry, Ohio, where the District National Guard rifle team is competing in the national rifle matches indicate that the Dis- trict guardsmen are giving a good account of themselves. Capt. H. H. Leizear has worked hard for many years to take to Camp Perry each year a rifle team that would do credit to the District, and after considerable personal expense and efforts he has obtained the interest of other National Guard officers and the enlisted men, and this year he was able to select for his team only the best men who had demonstrated their efficiency and it is well known in National Guard quarters that the success of this year's team is not due to accident or circumstances, but to hard intensive training by the team members. A foot ball team is being organiz- ed in Battery A, 260th Artillery. Capt. Louis F. Gosorn. commanding, is making efforts to organize teams in each battery of the 260th in order that interbattery games may be played and a regimental team select- ed for outside games this year. Lack of sufficient space for drill and instruction has made necessary a division in the drilling of the mem- bers of the Coast Artillery. Tuesday nights will be drill times for Bat- tery C, in command of Capt. John Hum? Bradford, dattery A, under Capt Louis F. sorn, and Battery B, un- der Capt. James D. Eggleston, will drill Wednesday night of each week. Even though the Naval Militia have vacated the armory at the foot of Seventh street, there is not yet enough room, and it was necessary to have two drill nights each week, instead of one, as formerly. Instruction for new recruits has been made more interesting and di- versified by the use of moving pic- tures showing the details of the drills and other work to be taken up by the companies. The moving pictures are being run by Serst. Charles F. Coanshawk. Interest is being manifested among the younger enlisted men of the Coast Artillery concerning the recent announcement that there will be one candidate designated to take the en- trance examination for the United States Military Academy at West Point. Some enlisted men from the National Guard will take this entrance examination and there will probably be.several applicants from the Coast Artillery in the compe- tition. A preliminary examination will be held between November 1 and 15. Prerequisites are that the applicant must be a member of a unit recox- nized by the Federal Government and must have served a year in the Na- tional Guard prior to July 1, 1925. The service need not necessarily be continuous. Former enlistments will be recognized. Age limits are 19 and 23. The applicant must be between these ages, and this requirement can in no wase be walved. The prelimi- nary examinations will be somewhat on the order of the Regular Army ex- aminations. The applicant obtaining the highest rating will then stand the examination for entrance to the United States Military Academy at ‘West Point.

N.W. pected the treaty will take the lines of other similar documents negotiated by Italy. General Secretary Olivetti of the in- dustrial confederation, the biggest business combine in the country, has just returned from a trip to German business centers. He went unofficially, but has reported his findings to Pre- mier Mussolini. Germany is fast regaining her old position in Italian markets. Her goods have been ousting the higher- priced American product in huge quartities. Stores which until re- cently were stocked with United States ironmongery are now filled with German goods. Italian business men explain that Germany displays a far greater knowledge of the Italian market and takes a much deeper interest in it than her American competitors. Itallans feel Americans dump what they think this country should have, while German firms make a real ef- fort to find out what they really de- sire. Italy, anxious for a market for her agricultural produce, means to glve German imports special facllities under the new treaty. in Germany a market for their prod ucts, cut off from the United State by prohibition. British industry, it i expected, will also feel the changa but not to the same extent as th United States. (Copyright, 192 Captain Is Transferred. Capt. Robert A.
