CROUP 8p?smodIc Croup Infrequently relievedbyenoam&rtonaf' VICKS T VAPORUB i . . i. r.?~^g!T^gWgaBBBggggl Camden'Horses Again Winners in Show Camden horses showed up well at the Charleston horse show held Friday and Saturday. George T. l.ittle, of Camden again vame in for a num-' ber of wins and brought back trophies jand cash prizes totaling over three hundred dollar*. The News and Courier in telling of Tha Clansman winning the hign honors says: "The likelihood is that the judge* decision on first place was mime! diate, but they faced a tusk tor I fecund and third and fourth in this | evenly matched and high class lield. Minona Queen, a bay filly from George T. Little's stables, was finally awarded second place. The third place ribbon went to Lain! o' Goshen owned by Mr. Uelknap, and fourth to IVuvjnes Noble Belle, a mare owned by Mrs. Virgina C. Walthour. "The Clansman, which won the Savannah show championship sweepI stakes last week, was entered in one other event, that for three-gaited saddle and harness horses, but in this In- broke several times under harness I to mar his performance, and first I place went to Minona Queen, which I gave a smooth and beautiful performance in every phase of this mixed J event." The same paper also has the following to say of Mr. George H. Dunnell and his horses: J "The veteran Skipper, of Fort Moultrie, whose age is estimated from eighteen to twenty years, outjumped a classy hurdling field in the open jumpers' event, to win it and a huge ovation from the crowd. The popular gray, by- Corpl, Walton, gave the only absolutely smooth performance, and was the only horse who I cleared everything without a knock. George H. Dunnell, a veteran owner and rider of jumpers, who won the open jumps here last year, had another line leaper in Somebody, and J still another in Guess. He rode both of them. Somebody went over every barrier smoothly in his first round, but when he was sent over again as the judges checked up, he took the second bar with him, and this left j Skipper with the ordy perfect performance. Somebody got second place. King Edward touched the bar on the first round and lost out, disappointing many admirers." Craig Clyburn who rode Mr. Gittie's entries was given the sobriquet 1 of "Riding Deacon" by the army men present, and the same Charleston paper pays tribute to his riding* in the following language: "Craig Clyburn, veteran manager and rider for George T. Little, of Camden, cume in for much praise in the classes in which he rode. He is the father of young Mr. Clyburn, the 17-year-old rider for George H. Dunnell, also of Camden.'

Saturdays s-how saw him win second flve-gaited saddle horse with Minona Queen; open ftve-gaited saddle horse class, Battery Box took first; open roadster class saw Melody win first; three-gaited sweepstakes championship was won by Clansman, belonging to Miss Sheftall, with Minona Queen coming second; fivegaited sweepstakes was won by Pasty Piuitt, belonging to Mrs. Ruus, BatI tery Box took third place; in open halter .class, A1 Tas took ftrst place while Minona Queen took fourth.
