LUST- OF ENTRIES LARGE

and tlest of ?oulh Will Ue There.
Fine La.ly Riders Who Will
Sho.v Their Horses.
(Special to Tho Tlmes-DIspatch.)
LYNCHBURG, VA., September 2S.
j A peep at the list of entiles to the events
Of the Lynchburg Horse snow discloses
the largest and most brilliant line of
entries that has over been seen in this
section o? tbe State. There are four hun?
dred and nine, all told, and so large Is the
list that the association found It neces?
sary, and to-day gave rush orders tor
the building of twenty-five new box stalls
to accommodate the crowded entry list.
The size of the strings and the equality
of tho Individual horses coming Is beyond
the management's most sanguine hope..
That tho furor over Horso Shows Is ?
feever ln Virginia Is shown by the fact
that despite the constant and continued
Interest ln the dozen Virginia Horso
Shows already given this season, the
epirit Is stronger, and Lynchburg will
have three times as many horses hero
as last year.
Especially notlceablo is the fact evi-'
denced In the Lynchburg list that the
northern people are joining with tho
southern people in the sport. Mrs. John
Gerken, of New York, who schools hoc
own horses, will bring a seloct string
to Lynchburg from her stables, bringing
the horses that she, herself, always rides
and drives at Bryn Mawr, Madison
Square Garden und Newport. Virginia
horsemen will see hern for the first time
the Gerken horses, Lady Dainty and Pe?
troleum. Brandon and Belmar, News?
.boy and Shopgirl.
FINE STRINGS.
Among the other exhibitors are Mr.
and Mrs. Courtland ?. Smith, with Up-to
Date, Tip-Top, Chappie Lee and Lucy
Sutherland.
H. C. Beattie, Richmond, makes twenty
?entries, all hunters. ,
Maxwell Wyeth is very strong -with his
tfctring. Including David Hamm and Lord
Algy.
Garber and Garber, Rocklngham, come
- -with a magnificent string of harness
horses.1
Mr. Courtlandt H. Smith, with a string
of forty from the Brockton, Mass., Horse
Show, enters this lot at tbe Lynchburg
show, from which he goes to Kansas
City. This is one of the largest strings
In America.
Mr. Julian Morris brings twenty hunters
and Jumpers.
The Judges who will decide the award?
ing of the prizes are men of natlonnl
note ln horse circles. They nre Mr. Wil?
liam H. Collier, Mr. George B. Hulme, A.
Butler Duncan and Mr. Charles Pfizer,
Jr.. mnster Essex (Long Island) hounds;
? Mr. Stuart Dlffenderffer and Mr. Arthur
Ghicheifcter, Philadelphia.
LADY RIDERS.
Up at Newport a fortnight ago those
' cliff-dwellers thought themselves lucky
with one lady rider. Here Is a list of
horsewomen who are easily equal to any
in the- country, whether It be In mounts
on hunters or showing their horses before
the wheels. Some of ihe noted horse
. women who will ride or drive their own
horses at the Lynchburg show are Miss
Gertrude Skelton, Richmond; Miss Henry,
Winchester; Mrs. Nannie Langhorne
Shaw, Albemarle; Mrs. Blair Johnson and
Mrs. F. A. B. Portman. Warrenton; Miss
Daniels, Culpeper; Miss Langhorne,
j Lynchburg.
Dr. F. D. Owsley and Chlswell D. Lang?
horne, C. Vf. Smith, Julian Morris. Vf. E.
Eoing, Mrs. Gerken, Mrs. Blair Johnson,
J. W. and J. B. McComb swell the list
with their hunters and saddle horse
?strings, so that "the saddler," easily the
Idol in the public eye, will be seen very
much ln evidence during the 7th, 8th, Dtii
and 10th of October In Lynchburg.

EXCITING RACE
Mr. T. B. Doswell Shoots Rob?
ber Ten Times and Re?
captures Stolen Horse.
(Special to The Tlmies-Dlspatch.)
DOSWELL?, VA., September 28.?An ex?
citing horse race between Mr. T. B.? Dos?
well nnd a horse thief occurred early
this morning. The stolen horse was re?
covered, but the thief escaped. ? lleet
footcd horse, the property of a tenant
on the Bullfield farm, was stolen early
this morning by a strange white, man,
who rode to the yard of Mr. Bernard Dos?
well and inquired of his wife whether
they had nny horses for sale. After
being informed in the negative tlio stran?
ger departed. Shortly after the theft was
reported, and Mr. Doswell, attired in his
night clothes only, set out In? pursuit,
armed with a shotgun. Overtaking the
escaping thief, Mr. Doswell commanded
him to halt, threatening to shoot if he
did not obey. Tho man calmly beckoned
him to follow and rode on.
Mr. Doswell shot four times while both
horses wore running at their best speed,
but failed to stop t??? thief. After getting
another supply of shells he again pur?
sued.
For about eight miles the race contin?
ued, and during the time ten shots had
been flred Into the man's back at close
range without any apparent effect. As a
hist effort to stop him a boy got along?
side nnd attempted to grab him. The
thief slid down on tho opposite side,
pulled off the halter and ran off. Two
more shots were flrecV Into him, and yet
without effect, It seems probable that the
man was eltber clothe?! In bullet-proof
garments,or wns Insane and disregarded
his Injuries.
The horse was shot and had been run
so rapidly that It will bo useless if It
does not die. The thief Is described ns
being about twenty years of nge, medium
height, clean shaven, with dark hair. He
woro a felt hat resembling those worn
in tlio army. When last seen he was
traveling in the direction of Hanover
Courthouse.

Linens You Can Trust.
When you find an item you can trust you have gone a long way towards being

To satisfy folks in Linens has long been a success with us;
People believe in our Linens because long acquaintance with these particular makes
has proved every excellence and made certain all that we claim ?for them.
To-day?aside from their absolute purity, perfect bleaching and great durability?
we point to the fact that the proverbial beauty of designs in former gatherings is wholly
eclipsed by the present exquisite showing.
Take, for example, these pieces, on display, for your polished table; made ot finest
pure linen, with hand-made Dutch torchon; made to shape?no seams?and inserted in

tion on beholding them? y
Then there arc Montmelleck embroideries, drawn-work and damask pieces in scarfs,
squares, circles and ovals, and scores of odd patterns that go to make the assortment
complete, But the principal strength, where most usefulness is found and much money
saving is possible, is amongst the
Towels, Damasks and Napkins,
of which we mention some unusually attractive numbers below:
