Three Girls
To Vie At
HorseShOW

and the announcement Will De
gladly received that three of the
best girl riders on the Pacific
coast will compete this year. The
announcement is made by II. G..
Brown, director in charge. They
are Miss Doris McCleaye, Miss
Margaret Ellen Douty and Miss
Elizabeth Bacon, the last two
from Portland and the first from
Victoria, B. @.
Miss McCleave has been one of
the most beloved riders Of the
state show for several seasons and
is always greeted with cheers
when she enters the arena. Miss
Douty will be remembered as the
small rider who sustained a bad
fall last year when her mount
stumbled while taking a hurdle.
All three of them have distin-
guished themselves in the horse
show ring Of the Pacific Interna-
tional Livestock exposition in
former years and their brilliant
equestrianism has never failed to
win generous applause, accentu-
ated because Of the youth of the
three feminine riders.
Margaret Ellen Douty, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs f. A. Douty,
is but a slip of a girl, the young
est and smallest of the three, and
last year she was second to Miss
Elizabeth Bacon in the riding
contest for women. Miss Douty
will ride the new imported Irish
hunter. Gray Leg, which was
brought to Portland from Vir-
ginia this summer. She and her
sister, Miss Roberta Douty, will
also show Mountain Missile, new
five gated horse, and Sunbright, |
fine three gated saddler; also |
their two smaller horses, Wynona |
and lone.
Miss Elizabeth Bacon is one of |
the best known young women
riders of the show ring and has
shown horses in dozen differ
ent states. She is considered the
best rider in this part of the coun-
try, especially over the jumps,
and at Salem will show the string
of horses to be entered by H. M.
Kerron and other Portlanders.
Miss Doris McCleave from Vic
toria, B. c., rides for her father,
James McCleave, owner of large
string of show horses, and Miss
McCleave is known by every one
who has seen horse show here
abouts within the last few years.
She began riding at shows at the
age of IL years and in the early
days of the North Portland show
was one of the chief attractions
According to Director Browne
these three fine riders will all be
In the ring together, showing i
hunters and jumpers, several diff
ferent times during the week of /
the show, and their competition :
will be one OF the interesting
parts.
This year, says Mr.. Browne, the i,
show will be bigger and of better r
quality than ever before. The
fine horses owned by Mrs, Wayne !
w. Keyes of Tacoma will be
there, as will also be practically
all OF the show horses owned by
Portland persons.
Another big feature Of the
show will be the driving contest
for six in hand draft teams, in t
which several of the finest driv- t
ers of the state will pilot six t
horses each around the ring for t
the 800 prize, to be paid for the I
best out of the three exhibitions. t
