W|THHACK POINTS
Score Over Rusty, Jumper,
Decided Upset at Fort
Myer Horse Show.

The string of "dark-horse" cham
pions In local equestrian meets gained
one more member yesterday at the
annual Fort Myer exhibition. when
Capt. Leslie Carter's Dream Girl was
declared the grand champion of the
day. with the Fort Myer Horse Show
teams Rusty in reserve. Upsets have
been rather the rule around the near
by circuit this season, but Dream
Girls victory was all the more
startling because majority OF the
championship points were gained in
hack classes. Rusty, always q good
jumper. earned his score in open
jumping classes. as was to be ex-
pected, but it was rather startling to
find this one able to outperform the
prestige horses like Clipped Wings,
Sandy and Sir Conrad
While an Unexpectedly small crowd
gathered in the natural amphitheater
where this meet always is held, Dream
Girl piled up the winning total OF
points with victories in the ladies
hack and road hack divisions and a
triumph in the hunt team event
shared with Maj A. w. Roffe on
Clipped Wings and Capt. John Meade
on Dansoux.
Rusty's hours Of glory were in the
test for n-commissioned Officers.
where Sergt William Toston rode the
veteran to the blue, and in the final
open jumping class. where Capt
Trapnell was in the saddle to defeat
the foremost jumpers on the grounds.
Jinwich Derrymore Star.
Occasional rains throughout the
day and bad footing perhaps ex-
planned the lack Of consistency which
prevented any OF the hunters from
knocking over the tri-color honors, but
at least Miss Jane KRONER. daughter
Of Col. Leon B. KRONER, the former
chief of cavalry. had the. satisfaction
of ticking off the ribbons repeatedly
with her fathers Jinwich and the
Army's Derrymore, both Of which she
handled cleverly. She rode into the
winners circle only once. that time
in the working hunter class. which
was unQuestionably the stiffest trial of
the day and probably the hardest class
of the sort ever contested here, but
that single victory had an added taste
of sweetness, because JinWich won the
same class at the same show two
years ago. In addition to that ribbon
she garnered third in the hunter hack
event and second and third in the
open hunter class.
