In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of - Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. OURTLAND H. SMITH will have a dispersal sale of his entire stable of thoroughbreds on Armistice day, Wednesday, November 11, at 10 a.m. at the Mid- dleburg Race Course, Middleburg, Va., the day of the Middleburg races. The sale will be of enormous”interest to | Korse-lovers all over this section of | “the country. Mr. Smith, of The Plains, Va., has long been a famous horseman of Vir- ginia and America. As a very young man he lived on his place, Hampton, near Alexandria, maintaining one of the best stables of show horses in the country, which he broke, schooled and rode himself, winning in all the important horse shows. In 1905 | “Courtie”—as he is known to his friends—sold his entire stable of 40 hunters and show horses at Madison Square Garden, in New York, averag- ing $1,500 each. At that time this was the most successful horse sale ever held in this country. Among his best known show horses were Lucy | Southerland, Ogonquit, Up to Date | and Garnet Ripple. Mr. Smith sold these mount be- cause he had become interested in steeplechasing and decided to turn | his attention entirely to jumping races. In this form of sport he ex- celled and was comsidered the best cross-country amateur jockey of | America. It was always a delight to | all who saw “Courtie” ride in jumping | races, with that determined set of his head, and see him come in to win. Among some of his best steeplechase horses were Pete Daily, Navajo, Sandy Creek, Rocket and others too numerous to mention. | For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. | Courtland H. Smith and their sons have lived on their beautiful estate, | Byrnely, at The Plains. Here they | have bred, raised and developed thor- oughbred hunters, and the Smiths are | always the best mounted in the field when they go out hunting with the ©Orange County Hounds. This section | of the hunting country is noted for good hunters, as the members of | Orange County Hunt spare no expense | in obtaining the best horses that can | be found for hunting foxes. Courtie will also be put up at auction three yearlings, four 2-year-olds, one 3- year-old and the balance thoroughly schooled hunters, having been hunted regularly with the Orange County Hounds. A complete set' of saddles, | bridles and other hunting tackle will be sold. Everything can be viewed at THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRID Byrnely farm, The .Plains, any day before the sale. Herrick-Merryman Sales Co. will be in charge of the sale and Lewis Mer- ryman, well known in all circles, will be on hand to conduct the sale: The first four horses that will be offered for sale are out of Ann Excellence, by King James out of Excellence by Plaudit. Ann Excel- lence was owned at one time by the late George Slater of Upperville. She was notgd as a steeplechaser and won 40 jumping ri for Mr. Slater. Ann Excelience is a great-granddaughter of Maggie B. B, who was this coun- try's greatest brood mare, as she was the dam of Iroquois, the only Ameri- can horse ever to win the English Derby. The horses that Mr. Smith is put- ting up for sale on November 11 are the best bunch of hunters in any other one stable in Virginia.
