F|RENzE RED TAPE
WINS HUNT TROPHY.
Guggenheim Entry Moves
Higher in Race for Top
HonorS.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.


orally conceded to be one of the
most magniflcently-form fencers in
America, the brown son of Coo
Gaulois, by virtue of that important
victory, moved a notch higher in the
nip-and-tuck battle now being Waged
for championship honors in the most
significant of WaShington's many
horse shows.
Whatever the rail birds may have
had to say about the change in Red
Tapes jumping form since he left the
stable of Dr. Lewis Allen and Joined
the Firenze string. the handsome fel-
low could not be denied in conforma-
ton judging yesterday. The arbiters
of quality, bone and substance unhes-
itatingly placed the veteran above
such highly-regarded animals as Mrs.
Ellsworth Augustus Mayring and
Sand Den, Miss Helen Bedfords
Woodfellow and others simply bris-
Ting with class In the thorough
bred hunter division, old Tape came
to himself over the fences also, and
annexed another blue to his credit
toward the coveted tricolor that will
be pinned this afternoon when the
meeting ends.
Other Stables Gain Prestige.
The day was not, however, a pure
walkaway for the Guggenheim inter-
ests. Both the Augustus and Bed
ford stables, leading contenders in
the hunter and jumper end of the
show. added further to their prestige.
Sand Den won a hotly-fought open
working hunter class for the former
owner, while Miss Bedford did her
own riding to clinch the Corinthian
blue. Perhaps to her surprise, that
desirable honor fell to her Grayarno,
performer customarily rated below
his famed stable mate, WoOdfelloW.
The horses representing Ray S.
Shoemaker, another owner whose
string is both populouS and powerful,
also acquitted themselves well, the
smooth -actioned Our Way winning a
test for green hunters 4 years old and
under-one of the toughest divisions
OF the program at this meeting.
In the open jumping tussles, no
single stable garnered lions share
of the Spoils, although Mrs. Guggen-
helms Firenze Gaylady, an enormous
roam with huge leap in her heart,
undoubtedly gave the crowd its big
geSt thrills in capturing the triple
bar Jump. Bean Beetle, owned by
Miss Betty Couzens of Washington,
struck impressive stride at the close
of the day to take the modified
Olympia event, class which seems
more or less ready-made for Army
horses but baff1ed them yesterday.
Children Dominate Morning.
Throughout the forenoon, the pro-
ceedings we're in the hands of score
of skillful child riders who, as usual.
demonstrated horSemen are born as
well as made. Tiny Ann Clay Bayly
outshone all other juvenile Jocks
under II years of age, while the star
of the 12-to-l6 sector was Margaret
Hill, lass who has been among the
best since she first put leg over
saddle. While these two rode away
with more blue ribbons than any OF
the others, they were by no means
the sole recipients of applause and
laurels during the pony tests. Rob-
ert Palmer, Mary Jay, Edna Roth,
Stanley Greene II and half dozen
of their fellows rang the bell in more
than one class and exhibited their
customary deftness both in hack
events and over the jumps.
