everything for delicious lunch.
We had our lunch up in the Of
ficials' room and met lots Of
friends and were waited on by
the Junior League girls, who
are most efficient and charming.
If you want a good lunch and
good time go out there for lunch
on Friday and Saturday.
When we got back to the show
ring, the crowds had begun to
come and the grandstand and
all the grounds were filled with
people-all dressed up and look.
ing just too smart.
The next class, modified
Olympia for hunters over jumps,
performance only to count, was
won by Quicksilver-that good
hunter belonging to Miss Julia
Whiting and ridden by Stanley
Green. Quicksilver always wins
these open classes with his care
full and remarkable way Of
jumping. His win caused great
applause as he is a favorite al
ways. Second in this class went
to Apple Jack, owned by C.
Emery Galliher. Third to flash,
another noted jumper from the
Ft. Myer show team, and fourth
to Squire, that veteran of horse
shows, ridden by Lieut., G., w.
Bennett.
The next class, green hunt

was an excellent class with 20
entries and was won by Spring
Hope, an entry Of Mrs. Jock
Whitney's, ridden by Blakely
Lodge. Second was Sand Man,
ridden by Mrs. Cary jackson,
owned by Mrs. Ellsworth Au-
gustuS, and third was First
Knight, Whitney horse, rid
den by Blakely Lodge. Wallop,
another one of Mrs. Whitney's
horses. gave Blakely a bad fall
in this class and seemed to
step on him, but he soon got
up and was helped from the
ring.
Just at this point the clouds
that had begun to gather burst
into the most awful thunder
storm-a regular cloudburst,
that sent everyone flying to
cover, running hats and spring
frocks of those who were not
fast on the run. The wind
ripped all the lovely flags and
bunting off the grandstand
and created havoc with every
thing. Of course 1t took a
horse show to bring the first
thunderstorm of the season.
Thunderstorms and horse
shows just seem to go together.
After over an hours storm
class 26 was called-qualified or
green hunters, middleweight and
heavyweight. In came Blakely
Lodge Gin spite of his falD on
Bon Diable, one of Mrs. Whit
ney's greys to win the blue with

rows, third for Marokan, Mrs.
Guggenheim.
This was one of the best
shows that I have ever seen,
and I am looking forward to
the rest OF it. There were
many pretty girls. One Of the
loveliest was Miss Dorothy Will
ling Randolph, who was asked
to go in the ring and present
some of the ribbons and cups.
Mrs. Hubert Quinter presented
the plate given by Gait & Bros.
