NINA, BOSTON'S DAUGHTER Charlotte's Spring Haces?Foxhal 2:19 3-4?Dyer's Stable?Wick ' ham, Son of Wlllful-Per- ' cherons at Leesburg. ' The Virginia clroult of h'orso shows for 1003 will bo tho most important lh its' history, as the list of prizes and trophte** has been much enlarged, while the ex? hibits promise to bo moro numerous and of a higher oios^ truvn during previous years, The hor?e ?how Is now probably the most popular fad In tho South, an8 as a consoquonco, 'breeders, .owners and exhibitors are alive to the domanda of tho occasion, and there has been a mnrkod lmprovomotit on all sides. At a recent meeting of; the Virginia Horso Associa? tion In Washington, tweh'e organizations1 woro represented, and the followng schedule of dat?e were arranged: Lees burg, Juno 3d, 4th? Upporvllle, June 10th, 11th? Culpoper, July 3d, 4th; Manassns, July 21st, 22cl; Orange, July 28th, 20th; Front Royal, August'Bth, 0th; Berryvlllo, August 12th, 13th; Harrlsonburg. August 10th, 20th;. Warren ton, August 20th, 27th; Charlottesvllle, Soptombor 2d, 3d; Lynch burg, October 7th, 10th; Richmond, Octo? ber 12th 17th. This schedule was arranged by J, T, Anderson, president of the Rlchmonil Horse Show; Charles W. Smith, or War* ronton, and Charles Mulllkon, of Borry vllle, and it was unanimously adopted by the dolegatos, with the amendment offered by J. J. Davles, of Manassns, that within fifteen days tho irarious horse show organizations may have other days of tho same week allotted to thorn, If so doslrotl. The Virginia Horso Show Cir? cuit Includes a larger number of asso? ciations than any similar organlznlon in existence, certainly In any one State, nnd what Is better still Increases In Impor? tance? annually. Bach, yoar great show horses are devolopod, while tho Impetus given to brooding hunters and jumpers has beon mnrkod. A wonderful family Is that which traces to Nina, tho famous daughter of Boston and Imp. Frolicsome Fnnny, who was foaled In 1848 and died thirty-one y*nrs Inter at the late Major Thomas W. bos woll's Bulldeltl farm, formerly the best, known probably of Virginia breeding es? tablishments. The blood of Nina has bred on with remarkable success through both sons and daughters, nnd particularly to the latter, ono of? the most notablo In? stances being that of Sayonara, by Geor^o ICInnoy, dam Sunbeam, by Imp. Leaming? ton, Sunbeam was bred by Major Dos well, her dam being Ecliptic, by Eclipse, nnd she on Nina? Referring to Sayonara, an exchange says: One of the greatest bargains picked up by a thoroughbred breeder In ' a long timo Is the broodmare Sayonara, by/ George Klnney, dam Sunbnam, by Imp. Leamington, now one of the most highly prized stud matrons of Milton Young's famous McGrathlana farm, Lexington, Ky. Sayonara Is the dam of tho Hying Huntressa, which, fllyy won nine races last season? Mr, Young bought Sayonara for the small sum of $40 at tho closing out sale of Norvln T. Harris' Hurst bourne stud at Loulsn'Ille, sovernt years ago. Five thousand dollars would nett buy her to-day. Sayonara was purchased jus"? a year before the Breeders' Protective Association began Its extensive ofle'ra tlons. Had she been sold a year later sho would most likely have boell T?si forever to the breeding world. " ? Secretary Junltis H. Harden, of the .Mecklenburg Fair Association, Charlotte, N.

This horso has ? trotting record of 2:19 3-1, but has shown trial miles bettor than 2:15 nnd fractions at a very much faster clip.
