The United States Olympic riders
made a belated return to top form
and earned a hollow victory over the
Invading Chilean horsemen yesterday
afternoon as the most spectacular
horse show in the history of WASH
ington came to a close in Rock Creek
Park.
With the Chileans already assured
Of the inter American team trophy by
virtue of their two consecutive trl-
umphs on the opening days OF the
meeting, the Americans suddenly came
to life and managed to save them-
selves from a white-Washlng. botn
teams really were at the peak in the
final contest. their respective scores
being 8 faults for the United States
and II for Chile. Those totals were
far below the averages set in the ini-
trial sessions (the United States had 62
Saturday, and conquerors and van
uuished we're really separated by only
one knock-down on the towering in
ternational course.
Don Clean Over Route.
The North Americans quickly estab-
lished their lead when the veteran
Don went clean over the route and
Ugly, the most consistent horse on
the team during the show. under the
handling of Capt. c. w. A. Raguse,
displaced only one fence. Dakota
then had moderately bad turn of the
ring with II faults, but old Ansonla,
tired after a gruelling competition IN
which he won the individual military
trophy for the day. nevertheless
fought it out every inch of the way
when his chance came and completed
the distance with single mistake.
That left the United States with the
three best horses responsible for only
faults.
The first hint that the Americans
were pulling out of their slump came
in the individual contest early in the
afternoon. The crowd of 5000 saw
them qualify four horses by clean
performances in that event. ana
healthy cheer went up when Ansonia
eased out the Chilean horse Salltre
by four-fifths of a second in the
jump-off. Ansonia and Capt. c. G.
Jadwin had been relegated to the
might-have- -beens the day before
when Capt Eduardo Yanez and
Xysme topped them by one-fifth OF
a second. and the taste of revenge
was therefore doubly sweet.
Promise Better Performance.
In the team class. the North
Americans showed plainly they will
have much to say about the disposi-
ton of honors when they join the
Chilean, French, Irish, Canadian and
Dutch teams in international argu-
ment at Madison Square Garden a
week from tomorrow Their horses
seemed fresher and better acclimated
and the riders we're driven by an
obvious desire to redeem themselves.
Between the individual and the
team battles yesterday. the crowd was
privileged to witness one of the most
remarkable demonstrations of horse
manship ever revealed in any ring.
That was given by Maj. Hiram E.
Tuttle on his dressage horse Vast a
thoroughbred which he first put
through its intricate PAGES in the
regular manner and then repeated
while controlling the horse only by
single silken thread attached to the
bits With that thread Of goSSan1er
alone to guide him. Vast was carried
through the Olympic routine of
dressage movements and completed
the entire performance without even
straining the fiber!
The Whitney hunters from Llangol-
len Stables continued their winning
streak in those divisions yesterday.
Kinprillis captured both the ladies
and Corinthian classes. while Spring
Hope and Two Leggins picked up a
few minor awards here and there.
