Hunter Championship at
Fort Myer.

n ISIS MARGARET HILLS
M QUESTIONABLE won the hunt
wv er grand championship Of
l93637 In the Fort Myer in
door horse show series as the last Of
those events came to close last
night. while the open jumping cham
pionship went to Lieut.. Frank S.
Henry on the Fort Myer Horse Show
teams Clipped Wings.
Miss Hill, for several years one Of
the outstanding junior riders In Vir-
ginia and Washington shows, entered
the final Fort Myer exhibition leading
her nearest competitor by a small
margin. Before the end OF the eve
ming the margin had been widened,
leaving Fenton M. Fadeley's Lacque"
Lady and Charles Carricos Recall tiec
for second honors. Recall finally woi
the reserve award on the toss of
coin.
Lieut.. Henry's victory with ClippC
Wings likewise was no surprise, f
the seasoned brown mare is a mag
nificent fencer when going in to
form, and the recent riding hall show
have been some of her best Secont
to Clipped Wings was a valiant little
black horse named Smoky, owned by
Maj. Frank L. Whitaker, who takes
postmans holiday and rides in horse
shows when he is not managing such
important affairs as the inter-Amer-
ican meet here and the annual out
door series staged by the Riding and
Hunt Club.
Honors Scattered.
A LTHOUGH every class was we'll
filled, q sizable audience turned
out ana tie competition was keen
throughout, last nights session ac-
tually made no tremendous change in
the status Of the top horses Honors
were literally scattered about among
entries that had not, many of them,
been particularly distinguished in the
earlier meets, while QUESTIONABLE and
Clipped Wings put in their decisive
licks by garnering few extra ribbons
OF every color from yellow to blue
Perhaps the outstanding occurrences
Of the evening were the extraordinary
performance Capt. K G.. Hoge turned
in with Broomfleld, jumper that ap-
peared to be tough one to handle, but,
nevertheless, beat the best of the
other horses; and the sensationally
smooth and graceful showing made by
Mrs. M. Robert Guggenheim's Dark
Dancer, flawlessly ridden by Mrs. Ce-
leste Van Lennep Of Philadelphia
Dark Dancer showed a large entry
field just what road hack should be-
and Mrs. Van Lennep, who formerly
owned the horse, gave an equally con-
vincing exhibition Of the way In which
one should be ridden.
