MUNCIE HORSE SHOW JULY 31 Sixth Annual Hor*? Show At .Muncie July 31, August 1 Muncie. July 10- The sixth an nual Muncie fair horse show will ' be held at the fair grounds in Muncie. Saturday afternoon and even ing. July 31, and on Sunday after- , noon. August 1. just preceding the i opening of the 85th Muncie fair | A. Ball, president of th* fair board, has appointed Mrs. Wm H Ball chairman of the horse show committee and Seward B Price secretary. This committee has organized a horse show program of thirty classes. The bill includes classes for three galted and fivegaited saddle horses, hunters and jumpers, saddle ponies, horsemanship. and Arabians. The Muncie show has grown in six years from a small invitation show at Orchard Lawn to an op-! en show, which for the last two years has had more than one hun-j deed horses from forty stables in seven states. Mrs. Wm. H. Ball, chairman, reports that most of the ’ exhibitors who were in Muncie in 1936 are planning to return and that a number of new stables will be represented. Among the reservations already made by popular exhibitors are , the entries of Mrs. W. J. Harvie and her daughters. Margaret and Judy, of Huntington. We’st Virginia. Mrs. Harvie is known in more than twenty states for her brilliant riding of the Irish bred open jumper. Tennis Ball. Her daughters, Margaret and Judy, are proving themselves good pupils and they both have nice thoroughbred hunt--1 ers to show in 1937. Last year Judy, at eight years of age, jumped the twelve hundred pound Tennis Ball in exhibition jumps. This summer, at nine years of age, she rides her own thoroughbred hunter in open competition with the best of riders. Miss Margaret has : two thoroughbred hunters which she will show in both the hunter and juniper classes. The Harvie horses make their first show at the SIO,OOO Lexington, Kentucky show and will ship from there to Muncie, where they will rest a week before the Muni cie fair horse show opens. A stable which will offer strong competition to the Harvie horses is that assembled by Dr P. O. Bonham and his sons, Max and Chester, of the Algonquin riding club in Indianapolis. This stable includes Irish, a heavyweight Irish hunter, owned by Mr. J. S. Williams; Grey Knight, a near twin though American bred, owned by Fred Sharp; Mount Adams, a brown thoroughbred middleweight, owned by Miss Lucy Kaufman; and Dr. Bonham's open jumper, Safe Home. o * activities of* ADAMS COUNTY 4-H CLUBS Monmouth Rooters The Monmouth Rooters' 4-H Club met in the Monmouth ’Gym on July 6.
