Young Stanley Green. I'd, and his
champion gray pony, Queen of Sheba,
almost invincible combination around
the Virginia and Maryland show cir
cults for the last few years, stepped
into the limelight again this morning
as the junior riders had their inning
at the National Capital Horse Show.
The Leesburg youth really Jared bet
ter than his horse today, for he cap
tured the trophy for children over IL
and under 16 years, while the Queen
merely provided transportation in this
class and later had to bow to some of
the coming juvenile talent ir the
events for saddle ponies and pony
jumpers.
Family Strain Strong.
Tine family strain ran strong in the
competitions today. practically every
rider being chip OF some well-known
equine block. The list of exhibitors
included such names as Mary Blunt,
daughter of the one-time master of
the Riding and Hunt Club hounds;
Miss Douglas Padgett, daughter of a
prominent Maryland sportsman; Miss
Jean Arnold, who boasts a polo-play-
ing father and hunting mother; little
Reuters, RothS, Palmers, Hoffmans
and others from notable sporting fam
lilies in Virginia and Maryland.
No matter how badly beleaguered 1t
may be by bad weather In the OPEN
ing days, the National Capital in
variably manages to draw a pleasant
Saturday. This season a more auspi-
cious day could not have been ar
ranged. A sizable crowd strolled into
the sunlit grounds by 10 O'Clock, when
the first class began, and as each hour
passed scores more were joining them
for look at the pony rides. the mar
ionette shows, the puppies and novel;
ties displayed under the management
Of the Junior League.
Jumpers to Perform.
This afternoon two major stakes of
$500 each, for hunters and jumpers,
the vivid hunt team class, the working
hunter sweepstakes and other major
trials were to bring the meeting to
a close.
