Some Think Course Too Stiff
The smart hunting and racing set
paid their annual visit to Baltimore
last Saturday for the MARYLAND Hunt
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1935-05-01

Some concede that the four
mile course is too long, that the
jumps are too severe, or that
post and rail fences can prop
erly be replaced by brush. Actu.
ally, compared with the killed
and manned horses and riders
in brush steeplechaSes, the COM
parison would favor the Mary
land event. A horse to cross
this country successfully must
have qualities of a good hunter,
to which must be added indomi-
table courage, endurance and
speed. Incidentally, the great
Steeplechase course at Aintree
is almost four and a half miles,
and it has survived since 1881.
Many parties will precede the
Virginia Cup race on Saturday,
on the various estates in the
vicinity of the course, a region
famed for it's beauty; and still
others will gather at the North
Wales Club, where a gala
luncheon is to be held.
