HORSE SHOW OPENS
AT MILITARY POST
Mailed Knights in PIumeS
Thrill Spectators at Fort
Myer Riding Hall.

Like characters from a novel by Sir
Walter Scott, two knights in mail and
flowing plumes sat facing each other
at opposite ends of medieval jouSting
field in the Fort Myer riding hall this
afternoon.
Two long wooden lances trailed grace
fully at rest as they sat Stiffly erect on
restless chargers. In the galleries
around them sat hundreds of men and
fair ladies, thrilled with the splendor
of tournament day.
Suddenly trumpet call sounded and
the horses galloped down the lists. In
midfield they met and each knight
reeled as his lance splintered against
his rivals shield. They diSmounted and
continued the fight on foot until one
knight went down and was carried
away on litter by his attendants.
Greeted by Tourney Queen.
The victor remounted and rode
around the field until he reached the
point in the gallery where sat the tour
ney's queen, Mrs. j. w. Cunningham,
wife of major at the post. There
he received the plaudits of the throng
and a smile from the satin-slippered
queen.
And so the Army post opened its
annual society horse show, one of the
gala events of the local season.
All seats had been sold in advance
for this afternoons performance and
the show tonight, which opens at 8:l5
o'clock. The interval between the two
shows will be filled with a round of
teas at the homes of the officers, fol-
lowed by dancing tonight.

Gen. Summerall, chief of staff, were
| among the patrons of the event. Other
| boxes in the large riding hall were re-
| served for leaders of official and diplo-
matte society.
Society Children in Fancy Ride.

ment the program called for a fancy
ride by society children of Washington
| and vicinity. Other events were a polo
| quadrille by Washington debutantes and
tandem ride in which girls viii ride
one horse, driving another in front.
Among the participants in these events

Austrian Minister.
The program also included jumping
ride to hounds and Sheik ride by
members of Troop e in full desert re-
gala. Troop E was also booked for an

through window into the riding hall.

"KEYsToNE" DEMOLISHED
Small Park Triangle on Connecti-
cut Avenue to Be Remodeled.

Its symmetrical position as the park
keystone unbalanced by the widening
of Connecticut avenue, circular con-
crete fountain in the small park tri-
angle at Connecticut avenue and @
street has been demolished by order
of the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, incidental to immediate
remodeling of the park.
With the widening Of Connecticut
avenue a realignment of the eastern
side of the triangle was neceSsitated,
the coping line being shifted six feet to
the west. This displacement unbalanced
the key portion of the fountain, CEN
trally situated at the base of the tri-
angle. The Connecticut avenue coping,
as compared with the Twentieth street
coping, was several feet nearer the
fountain basin.
Remodeling plans include a surround
ing tIox hedge, an intersecting walk at
the base of the triangle, two flower beds,
tree planting and public drinking
fountain. Construction work will begin
Immediately.
