UPPERVHLE, Va, June 1l.-Miss
Charlotte Noland, mistress Of the IA
NOUS Foxcroft School for girls, came
away from this historic show grounds,
reputedly the scene of Americas first
real horse show, with a grand cham
pionship yesterday afternoon, an
honor earned by horse that is as
honest as the day is long. When the
tricolor of Virginia prestige was pinned
on Miss Noland's Rokeby, many
heart in the stands quickened its pulse,
for the good gray hunter has made
reputation afield as we'll as in the ring,
having carried Miss Noland many
time across the Middleburg country in
the performance Of her duties as Joint
M. F. H. there.
Nijinsky Reserve Winner.
Reserve to Rokeby was Mrs. John
B. Anderson's Nijinsky. another horse
that has been knocking at the door
consistently whenever exhibited around
the Old Dominion circuit.
In all other respects the closing day
of this great meet at Grafton Hall
was n.c:s =. less routine, although it
was considerably frightened in one
fashion by the fact that Fenton
Fadely of Washington won the touch
and out class with his Lacquer Lady,
q mare that had foaled so recently
she had to bring along her colt in the
trailer with her yesterday.
whitney Team Beaten.
As usual the horses that were
prominent on opening day, when most
of the classes are devoted to green
hunters, faded when the competition
brought out the more seasoned per-
formers but another twist was added
to the scoring when Mrs. George
Greenhalgh's hunt team won the class
for teams Of three horses, knocking
over the long running string of VIC
tories earned by Mrs. John Hay Whit
ney's teams. The Llangollen outfit
from the Whitney barn could do no
better than third yesterday, which
may or may not have been due to the
fact that Mrs. Whitney has gone
Hollywood and had most Of her top
hunters shipped to California.
