From looking the foals over
! went up to see the horse show
horses. OF course every one
knows the grey hunt team. The
Grey Knight, Bon Diable and
Two LegginS and that big Irish
grey horse, Kin Prillis. But I
also looked over the three-year-
olds that will be in the show
ring this season for the first
time. There are five of them
and their names are: First
Knight, a chestnut; Glory Rose,
9 bay; June Bird, another bay;
Aire Spirit, a grey, and Gay, q
lovely chestnut that looks to
me like the best in the bunch.
These will start their career in
the ring the beginning Of the
season at the National Horse
Show in Washington in May.
I went on around the other
side Of the lovely horseshoe
shaped stable and came upon
first Easter Hero, that lovely
chestnut Grand National horse,
% famous, with the twisted
shoe that hangs by the door of
bis stall, the shoe that kept
him from winning that Grand
National race for his owner,
Jock Whitney. Easter Hero is
the lovelieSt horse I ever saw.
Next to him is Dusty Foot, an
ether English horse, who has
yun in the Grand National.
Next in line came Ucello, Jock
Whitney's hunter, who won
FIRST in a class in the Middle
burg Hunter Trials last month.
Then Spring Hope, who won re-
eerve championship in the Up
Rerville Horse Show last year.
Nobody'S Fool, another good
show horse, is five years old.
Hopeful Jim, a six-year-old, Is
also good in the ring.
A French horse named Cy-
press Dea Beau, that will go in
da show ring. Poulette, four
fear-old; Wallop, a four-year-
Old: Lovers Leap, a lovely black
4our-year-old, to show the first
time this season.
1oro, a four-year-old, that won
many ribbons last year as q
hree-year-old and great things
are expected Of her this year. :.
Bad Luck, a five-year-old show
horse, looks good.

@1t, that Mrs. whitney thinks
me best hunter she has. Baby,
