Program.

Unless there be a sudden reversion
Of feeling. Washington will have a
horse show next year and each year
thereafter.
This is the way horse owners Of the
District. visiting hunt club members
from Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsyl-
vania, and officials Of horse show as
sOciations in those and other States, feel
about this city as a place for a regular
date on the spring or fall bookings OF
horse shows.
n new place probably will have TO be
found for the holding OF the show In
spite OF the tan bark which was plentl-
fully spread about the ring, the dia-
mOnd and the greensward inside the
base lines at American League Park
were torn. up by the pounding feet OF
the horses. II is said the baseball
management is not DESTROYS OF being
compelled to completely make over the
baseball diamond once a year.
Nj. Hazen To Decide.
Just what steps the officials, who ran
Hashington's successful horse show.
will take is not known. Melvin c.
Hazen will have the task of locating
grounds for next years show.
Out of the fourteen events on the
closing days program, six were jump
ing. These did not include the exhibit
ton jump made by Miss katherine
Cherbonnier on RoustabOut. when the
animal broke his own -1cord of 8 feet
inches by a twO-i1ch margin, al
though he failed to equal the worlds
record.

Herman UlIman's Lord Golden, and
Mrs Potts Silver King, were among
the entries. They finished second and

HUNT Teams Score.
The event for hunt teams was one OF
the prett;est performances Of the two
days meeting. Four teams were en-
tered. There was one woman member
on two OF them. They were MTs. Potts,
NJ. I. II, of the Castle Hill Hunt Club,
and Miss OsgOOd, Of the WarrentOn
Hunt Club. With the exception Of Miss
OsgOod, ali who rode in this picturesque
event wore the brilliant pink coats. -
Mrs. Potts wore pink coat and black
skirt Miss Osgood wore a black riding
habit.
But It was the Fort Biyer cavalry
drin which was watched with perhaps
more interest than any other number on
the program.
