The program shows there will ho over 15<> entries in the twenty clasps. ' ['his U a large, number i for "so early 'a show. Naturally the Cumden horse show, is a hunter spe<. ;alty, t 'amdgn be in it in the cream of the hunting lands, but there are .saddle classes for horses of three-gaits, ' vvalk, t iot and canter in - classes lor under and over 15.2 hands. In these ' classes performance will count 60 i per cent and ^confirmation 10 per cent. There is also a class for pairs of horses and road hacks. A children's class practically comes under the saddle division, which gives the saddle classes pretty fair opportunity to please all those interested in saddle horses. The polo classes will entertain more than usual interest. With polo at its height just now and two teams battling for supremacy, it is only natural that polo lovers will watch with keenest interest the outcome of these classes! The Little Man, a handsome bay gelding owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gerard S. Smith, of Brooklyn, N. Y., I and champion at the National Horse Show, New York, last November, looms up as a probable winner.

Lightweight, middle and heavyweight hunters are bringing out some of the best hunters in this section of the state. It is also expected that a number of entries will come in frotp Charleston. Summerville and other parts alpng the eastern shore of the state. Pairs of hunters, handy hunters loom up large. The jumper sweepstakes, the touch-and-out and scurry jump are down to provide the thrills, which they will no doubt do, if some of the young lady riders attempt to compete wvih the men-folks and that is what happens in Camden. Those who have entered horses are: Wayside Stables, Liftduff; Ward C. Belcher. King Cole. Zuni Guam and Emperor. Mrs. Dwivtht Partridge, popular M. F.
