M Young horses from the
v stables Of DR.. Lewis M. Al
4 4 len and Mrs. John Hay
Whitney, the two most prominent
exhibitors in Virginia, dominated the
opening day Of the thirteenth annual
Middleburg Horse Show this after
noon before q relatively small crowd.
Postponed from Wednesday because
of inclement weather, the initial
events we're run of in a typical Fall
atmosphere, with tweeds and top
coats in evidence everywhere. The
outstanding contender for honors from
DR.. Aliens stable was his Clifton's
Trump, q black son Of Cog Gaulois,
that first bowed to Mrs. Whitney's
famed youngster Mickle in the di-
vision for thoroughbred 3-year -olds,
then defeated that one and all the
good half-breds also in the open class
for 3-year- -olds. Mrs. Whitney also
had the winner OF the handicap jump
in her Cherry Red.
Spring Miss Performance.
A MOTHER outstanding performer
Of the day was the Rittioor
Bros Spring Miss, which lasted
through q strenuous series Of jump
offs to take the touch and out test,
and then returned to capture sec
ond among the women's hunters. The
blue in the latter classification went
to Miss Charlotte Noland, joint M. r.
H. of the Middleburg hounds and
mistress of Foxcroft School, riding
her own sturdy bay Wealthy.
One bad spill marred the day when
Shirley Payne. who rides for Mrs.
D. N. Lee, sustained fractured leg
as q mount fell on him in the 3-year-
old open class.
AS is frequently the case around
the shows in this district, Ernest Red
mon Of the home town forces sent

ings are to be held tomorrow morn
