TREDERICKSB Va, May
- 80. Edwin Vaughans Sir
Greystone, a mist grey son of
Sir Greysteel-Sourgrass. had
long lead in the rare for champion
ship honors OF the third annual
Fredericksburg Horse Show as the
second days competition began. The
first section Of 81 classes for hunters,
jumpers and saddle horses was run
| of yesterday before sizable crowd.
Sir Greystone marked up pair
OF blues in the divisions for hunter
hacks and green hunters, was second
among the lightweights and third In
the model judging. Many thought
the sleek progeny of Maryland's great
racing sire would wind up on top
in the lightweight class also. but
after protracted deliberstion the
Judges. Otto Furr of Middleburg and
Estler M Palmer of Barefoot, iinalIy
pinned the blue on Miss Elizabeth
Nesbit's Cathode Ray, a noted ring
star on the Virginia circuit several
seasons past.
Glasses were not especially large
here and consequently every one ex-
pected the schedule to run along like
house afire. 1t did. Like an asbestos
. house. Interminable parleys over the
lightweight ribbons were frequent, the
judges at times seeming 10 ask the
leading horses To do everything but
sit up and beg before awarding them
rosetres. Nevertheless the languid de-
cisions had one great virtue-they
were right. Few denied that Sir Grey
stone was the top hunter of the day.
that Miss Marjorie Lee Mcleod of
Bethesda. Md, outcIassed the Saddlers
with her brilliant Gulf Breeze and that
Miss Ellie Wood Keith was the best
child rider on the grounds These
were the most significant pronounce
meDLs OF the initial meeting and they
met with popular favor.
Two other owners from The Wash
ineton sector joined Miss Mcleod on
the honor list here. They were Miss
Margaret Co,ter, whose Rocksie won
two third places, and W. Carlton
Eacho, who captured a second and
third with his good horse Drill.
