Ideal Autumn weather prevailed. A crowd of 1,000 attended. Interest was shown by the farmers in the surrounding section whose fathers and grandfathers were in Gien. Lee's army. Twenty-one of the | 23 living Confederate veterans in Lou- dn:m and Fauquier Counties were pres- ent. The invitation hunt opened the day, | starting at 10:30 a.m. with the Middle- ;hurz hounds, D. C. Sands, M. F. H, leading the way. A field of over 100 riders followed |the pack. These included representa- tives of practically all of the Virginia hunts, visitors from New York, Wash- ington, Richmond, Philadelphia, and even one rider from far-away Australia. A fox was started in the second field after the hunt began. This was car- ried a good short run when another was started, and after a short run was denned. The hunters came in at 12 o'clock. when a dog-and-hound show was held. The following were winners in the dog show: Heaviest dog, St. Bernard, Mrs. Henry W. Frost; best dog in show, Lucy, & fox hound owned by D. C.| Sands of Middleburg; biggest dog in | show, & great dane owned by Mrs. Paul | Abbott of New York: best fox hound bitch, Lucy, owned by D. C. Sands; best fox hound dog, Tuck, owned by Middleburg Hunt Club; best Pekingese dog, owned by Miss Anne Leith, Mid- dleburg, and best police dog, Junior, Frost Anderson, The Plains. The feature of the day’s show was a hunter trial over natural country about two and one-half miles, which carried a | first prize of $100. Judges for this were Mrs. Thomas Summerville of Montpe- lier, Va., and Mrs. Fletcher Harper of the Orange County Hunt Club. Prizes were: PFirst, Lapingo, owned by Harry Worcester Smith of Worcester, Mass., and ridden by Loule Leith; 'second, Harvey, owned and ridden by Mrs. Robert 'C.

The association explained the local conditions in the following statement: | - “Following_the recent drastic reac- tion on the New York Stock Exchange | there have been recurrent rumors that | curtailed purchasing power had brought about a condition of depression in the Washington automotive trade. These | rumors are emphatically denied, and as the best possible corroboration of that denial the Washington Automotive Trade Association offers figures cover- ing new and used car registrations in the District of Columbig, for several significant_periods. “The official record shows that for the period from July 1 to November 10, 1928, exactly 7,195 new cars were registered in the District of Columbia.
