Never has a Washington Horse
Show opened more auspiciously than
this years which Is being held
across the river at Arlington Park,
and for the beneft of the Red Cross.

II was q wonderful panorama
OF Washington that one saw from
the grand stand-the whole sweep
OF the river. from the Capitol and
the War College up taking in the
Monument and the White House,
and then on to the river to George
town with the University Building
CroRning the heights; and close at
hand Arlington. and Fort Myer with
Its tall radio towers. All this by
simply turning ones head and all
in its new spring finery at its finest.
Down in the ring, and in the pad
dock the best horses from all up
and down the country side claimed
attention, while overhead the aero
planes swooped and whirled and
circled. and turned somersaults,
and generally cut hair-raising ca
pers. And the attention Of the
smart world that had motored out
to pay homage to the horse was
at least divided. In fact there were
time when the aeros seemed to be
gettiag most Of 1t.
With everybody wandering around
visiting everybody else it is a bit
hard to say who's In which oox'
