the blue yesterday in the Corinthian
class at the third annual Rock Creek
benefit horse show. and by virtue of
that maneuver cinched the cham
pionship tri-color in warmly con-
tested days sport for hunters and
jumpers.
Prior to the Corinthian, Rocksie
had divided victory with her fathers
Golden Glory in the pair event,
snatched off a minor ribbon or two,
but otherwise stood behind George
Plummers King Dominant and Miss
Gladys Hobermans Sun Di, each the
winner of three classes during the
day. When the final lineup came,
however, the judges decided that
Rocksie outpointed the other eligibles
on ability, quality, conformation and
manners, the characteristics which
determined the pinning of the rosette.
Costumes Have Wide Range.
However brilliant and exciting the
work of the hometown fencers yes

lime and the ridiculous. Mr.. and
Mrs. Vernon G. Owen, neatly wrapped
in the frills. ruffles, mustachios and
gadgets of a merrier day, drove their
own rig to triumph in this division,
while the second award went to Mrs.
OLeary. practical lady who guides
her buggy through Washington every
day and dropped in yesterday to show
the amateur talent thing or two.
The award for the best comic get-up
was pinned on Mrs. Alice Berry of
Rockville and Mrs. William Hanson
of Washington, who appeared with

a horse and enormous amounts of
blackface makeup.
Since Rocksie, Sun Di and King
Dominant accounted for nine blues
among them, only a few odds and
ends were left over for participants in
the four remaining adult classes. The
most important of these was ensnared
by Fenton Fadely when he made a
clever round of the trick handy hunter
