This affair Is set for March 20 and
on the following Saturday things will

On the next Saturday, April 3, the
scene will shift to Maryland, where

and the week after that, still In

Horse Show and innumerable other
choice morsels for the lusty appetites
Of equestrian fans.
MAY I, in passing, congratulate Miss
AA Margaret Hill on the hunter
grand championship won by her CUES
tionaire In the Fort Myer indoor series
this Winter, and offer similar felicita-
tions to Lieut.. Frank s. Henry for the
jumper tn-color won by Clipped Wings.
Both these horses have rather appeal
ing histories, for QUESTIONABLE was
formerly exhibited by Miss Hills
mother, Mrs William G. Hill, and
the old campaigner still does himself
proud after passing into the hands Of
one Of the finest young riders In this
sector. Clipped Wings, on the other
hand, was more or less Of a caston
from the Fort Myer horse show team
when Lieut.. Henry took her over, and
since that day he has made the mare
into . superb performer, equal to the
best in international competition when
in top form.
And. on further reflection, 1t is
especially pleasing to see what may be
described as homemade and owner
ridden horses take away the goblets,
platters and other expensive hardware

to do something about regulating the

that insists upon running the boxing
