entered and ridden by Captain
Woodbury. F. Pride. won the blue in
the bitterly contested handicap
class for green hunters.
British Ponies Win
The army's entries in the polo
class. however, went down to de
feat before the superb ponies enter
ed by Brig. Gen, Keppil Bethel, of
the British Embassy. The ponies,
bred and schooled in Canada, wer.
brought down last fall by Gen. Be-
thell to be Ridden in local polo
games The general. however, has
been unable to ride the greater part
of the winter and yesterday was the
FIRST time many Washington horse
men had seen his ponies. The little
animals had been nnsuallly we'll
trained and displayed a skill that
completely outshone the American
entries. Yorkshire Lass" ridden by
her trainer. John Prestage, gave a
brilliant performance and while
yielding the blue to her stable mate,
Punch was regarded in the
Judges stand as easily the finest
pony on the field.
A picturesque bit OF color was
lent to yesterdays show by the
brilliant jackets of the riders in
the Corinthian and hunt team class.
In the latter the blue went to the
Du Pont team, composed of Nancy
Pansy, Foxcatcher and Hexagon.
Nancy Pansy was easily the victor
In the Corinthian, giving a hundred
per cent performance. The red rib
bon in the Corinthian went to
Woodcock, he beautiful 4-year-old
belonging TO Waugh Glascook, of
Mt. Airy Farms.
Troops Give Fire Drill
The program of jumping was
varied toward the end Of the after
noon by an exhibition hre-driIl by
Troop L of the Third Calvery. The
troopers rode their mounts through
a blazing circle of fire to the tune
of a volley OF blank cartridges
hred under the horses feet. The ex-
cellent training of the army horse
stood the test and not one animal
faltered.
Much criticism was heard in the
judges stand OF the police horses
shown in the annual grill of the
local mounted police. 1t was stated
by experts that a large majority
| of the animals were unfit for the
purposes for which they we're used
and the suggestion was made tha,
the city either furnish suitable
mounts for the police or require
that measured up to the standard.
the men themselves to buy horses
No criticism was made, however
of the really beautiful animal rid
den by the winner of the blue
ribbon in the police horse class
General Pershing Joined the
Judges in the stand during the
afternoon and presented the cups
and ribbons to the victors in sew
eral classes. The general was es-
peeially interested in the class for
artillery horses and personally in
spected the magnificent entries in
that class. His attention from the
artillery horses was distracted for
a few moments by the Roman race
staged by the troopers from Fort
Myer. and a part of the daily
program. Leaving the horses he
was inspecting, the general ran up
the short flight of steps to the
top of the judges stand that he
might better view the race.
