MAYAB'S PERFORMANCES
AT JUMPS BRILLIANT
Valiente Rolls on Lieut.. Joaquin
Chagoya After Skidding at
Hog Back.

BY the law Of averages and the
normal expectations of able sportsmen
the United States Army riders were
set to shine forth this afternoon as
the Inter-American Horse Show went
into its third day at the Meadowbrook
Hunt Club on East-West Highway. On
the opening days, the Chilean Army
riders first stole the limelight with
their team victory Of Thursday after
noon, and yesterday the Mexican
Army's Mayab won the individual in
ternational championship.
In each instance the gentlemen from
North America finished in the runner
up slot, and the constituents are now
fully prepared to see some results from |
the red, white and blue boys. They |
are to have their opportunity in the
resumption of the three-day team
competition, wherein the score now
stands Chile faults, the United
States III and the Mexicans 31s.. AS
for the man-to-man warfare implicit |
in the individual officers jumping, that
is permanently a matter of history, |
and rather exciting history at that.
Mayab Better in Jump p-off.
Mayab made a clean score over the
lethal obstacles set up for the captains
and majors and lieutenants yesterday.
and the United States Army's Blackie
did likewise. In the jump-off Mayab
showed the better time, possibly due to
the fact that Capt. Amuary Quiroz had
the privilege Of jumping second and
comparing times. but the entire story
was not told in victory. The class pro-
duced more mean falls and near falls
than any that has been seen in these
parts IN many a year.
The worst came to Lieut.. Joaquin
Chagoya of Mexico when he was rid
ing Valiente. His mount skidded be-
meath the hog-back jump, fell on him,
rolled back and forth across his body
twice. stood up and stepped on the
PROSTATE boy and then walked away.
Chagoya. game as a fighting cock,
jumped to his feet, remounted and fin
ished the course. albeit he was stunned
and groggy when he came to the pad
dock again.
AS for the hunter classes in the
second session, they amounted more
or less to the familiar story of Whitney
triumph, the LlangoIlen Stables win
ming the hunt team event, the model
hunters and three out Of four ribbons
in the ladies' division. In the latter,
however. the blue was denied Liz"
Whitney by a magnificent perform
ance turned in by Mrs. j. E. Barker's
Hard Lines. The mistress of Llangol-
len had her consolation, nevertheless,
in the second won by First Knight, the
third pinned on Two Lesgins and
Spring Hopes fourth place.
Lieut.. Luis Perez, among the best
Of the Chileans, was kept out of to-
days events by cracked thumb and
| badly bruised side he suffered yes
| terday in a fall, which famed his
mount. Xisne. A substitute will ap-
pear for him today in the interna-
tional military team jumping, but he
may return to the show tomorrow.
Hunt Teams Set Over.
According to the original plans of
the Horse Show Committee. the pro-
gram each day was to wind up with
bright parade of hunting horses and
| pink coated riders. That notion so far
has proved snare and a deluSion.
The hunt teams we're set over from
Thursday to Friday because of dark
ness. and once again yesterday the
Corinthian had to be postponed for
the same reason. The last of Fridays
schedule was the jumper sweepstake,
in which the United States Army's
Dakota beat a competent lot of civilian
and military horses. Fenton Fade
ley's Laquer Lady was second, Mar
garet Cotter's Rocksie third and the
Chilean Army's Toqui fourth.
The program today is:
Corinthian class, / pm.
Hunter class open to local horses.
Interstate civilian team jumping.
Handy jumpers.
Dressage horse exhibition.
International military team jump
ing.
Hunter sweepstake.
