n YEVER was the value OF cOmpe-
tent horse show publicity dem
" onStrated more forcibly than
L at the Chevy Chase exhibition
last Saturday at the Meadowbrook
Club. It's interests in the hands of a
manager who knows what's what. the
Chevy Chase meeting drew the largest
crowd ever to attend purely routine
week end affair since the club course
had gala opening.
Also present were exhibitors who
seldom travel out of their own baili-
wickS for ring activity, and the usual
contingents Of friends who like to fol-
low the horses they know.
The presence of some 1,5o0 specta-
tors at a show which was oStensibly
just another chestnut in relation 20
the Fall program may stir laggard
thoughts in the minds of those man
ayers who decided some years ago that
they were doing the press a great
favor in issuing any information what
soever about forthcoming or current
exhibitions.
People go to the movies, the wres-
ting matches, the fights and horse
shows they hear about. From the
standpoint of all concerned. the more
present, the merrier. And Jack Allen
staged a merry afternoon of sport
Saturday.
A MONG the most joyful were Turner
Wiltshire, whose gray Satingle
won the grand championship: Jim An
drews. winner Of the reserve with
Kippema, and the George Plummers,
who saw their youngster King Dom
inant continue with his winning ways.
Satingle, son Of The Satrap-Sur-
cingle, almost hit the tri-color mark
at the Loudoun Hunt show last Spring,
and again performed cleverly to win
the Berryville Corinthian over an i'm
posing array Of opposition. The most
striking thing about this 6-year-old,
however, is not his show ring work,
but the marked hunting qualities, the
manners, way of going and obvious
courage, which stamp him horse any
one would like to take into the field.
VIRTUALLY all the news this week
comes in briefs. A few Of them:
Redland Hunt holds sway this Sat-
urday on the Rockville fair grounds.
There will be II classes, with the
hunters and jumpers rated entirely on
performance. An outside course Is
being constructed. Bravo for Red
land.
Reminding you again that William
du Pont, jr., has set September 81, a
week from Saturday. as the date Of his
Fair Hills race meeting. The course
is twin cousin Of the English Grand
National. Good amateur steeple-
chasing.
Better tune up your plane if you
want to attend Fair Hills and then
get down to Donerail. KY, where DR.
Ogden M. Edwards, jr., will entertain
Sunday, the 22d, for horsey folk in
terested in looking over his 1884 crop
of yearlings. DR.. Edwards Walnut
Hall Farm is the most famous breed
ing ground of trotting and pacing
stock in the world. The youngsters on
exhibition will be sold in New York
in November. Buffet lunch from 2
until 4 o'clock. Better 60.
How about some clubbing news from
these hunt secretaries? How are your
hounds working? How often do they
60 out In the informal season? Are
there many foxes in Loudoun, Fau-
quier, Howard, Montgomery Counties
this season? ANY kills yet? 'Fess up.
