CULPEPER SHOW
Elizabeth Nesbit's Entry
Jumps SkiIIfuIIy-Sir
Coma Second.
BY ROBERT b. PHILLIPS, JR.


Elizabeth Nesbit,s lightweight chestnut
Cathode Ray, many times a blue rib
bon winner in an illustrious show ring
career won the grand championship
Of the Culpeper tanbark exhibition to-
day as the two-day event rounded
out its annual session here. Un-
beaten in the two most important
classes of the day, Cathode Ray piled
up a neat margin in points over Man
ley w. Carter's Sir Coma, the 3-year-
old sensation of the show, which was
awarded the reserve tri-color.
Cathode Ray jumped skillfully and
displayed extraordinary manners to
capture the ladies' hunter and Cor
inthian events this afternoon. both
of them rated as top trials of the
final competition. With the owner
in the saddle, the son of Omar
Khayam-Fairy Ray proved himself
outstanding at every turn of the
course.
Fluttering Repeats Triumph.
The four fat races and lone steeple-
chase this afternoon proved more or
less foregone conclusions, as most of
the bangtails which ran in the OPEN
ing contests were on hand again. M.
H. Everhart's Fluttering repeated a
flrst-day feat in winning once more
the PA mile jumping race over brush,
conquering Oscar Beach's Cautious
Lena in a hand gallop after the lat
ter had been ridden out too hard in
the early running.
Miss Marjorie Lee Mcleod of
Washington showed her good saddle
horse Gulf Breeze to an easy victory
in the only class for that type today,
reversing the tables on Vernon G.
Owens Jack Lightning, which had
been placed on top when the two met
in yesterdays divisions.
