Surprisingly, Mrs. John Hay Whit
ney's horses. usually the whole story
at Washington, never figured promi-
nently. Nevertheless she had the
horses here, and that makes for a
better show. too.
No object in running down

Their entry fees, the quality of their

marrow and backbone Of any meet.
But it was good to see that none
Of them copped the whole cake, and
every owner truly interested in horse
shows as sporting proposition will
admit that such q condition Is ex-
tremely healthy for the game.
BY the way, you might want to
recall that the hunter and jumper
judges who pinned the ribbons as
above applauded were M. Roy jack
son, M. F. H.; Henry Bell, and Col.
w. w. Dorr. For the saddle horses
and harness animals, Col. A. S.
Thompson Of Kentucky.
New Outside Course Needed.
Now for the very small, but nec-
essary, grippe. The Washington horse
show should have new outside course
Since that parking space at the east
side of the ring Is of no practical
value cars should be forbidden to use
it, the outside course swung clear out
to the road that leads down to the
stables.
Fences in the course should be
stone wall, post and rail, chicken coop,
maybe one pole jump and an Aiken
or two, the idea being to give the
horses something akin to the OBJ
stacles they meet In the hunting field.
Present course Is too short,
does not in any way approxi-
mate q true hunter test.
And that Is absolutely our last dour
word about the show. Except for that
one feature it was a whale of sue
cess, promising even PALMER days for
the future>of our big annual outdoor
spring festival of the horse.

MEYERS NEW CAR

INDIANAPOLIS, May 13.-Louis
Meyer, the quiet Californian who three
times has seen the checkered flag of
victory wave in his face at the In
dianapolis Motor Speedway, is "tickled
to death" with the way his brand
new $4,000 racing creation per-
formed in its first appearance on the
local track yesterday.
"I've got to make some changes, Of
course" he said as he started work
again on the low-slung, black and
white speedster, construction of which
has occupied his time continuously for
months.
New Car Rated Best Job"
Meyer, who has won more money
and travelled more miles at the In
dianapolis course than any other
driver. just loafed around yesterday
for few laps and then he brought
the car back into his downtown ga
rage.
Railbirds at the track were quick
to decide Louis car is one Of the
most beautiful Jobs ever to be brought
to the Speedway.
Expects New Track Mark.
Meyer thinks it will take speed
Of from 116 to lib miles an hour
to win the big race. Last year when
Wilbur Shaw OF Indianapolis won in
record-breaking time, the speed was
113.5 miles an hour.
This will be the 11th 500-mile race
in which Meyer has competed. He
rode to victory in 1928, 1888 and 1896.

at the Meadowbrook Club, almost
everybody was moaning, groaning and
looking unhappy about various short
comings of the meet. This season
everything practically was filled with
sweetness and light, even your CORE
spondent being unable to discover
more than one major point on which
to raise thriving howl.
Happiest of the many pleas
ant circumstances surrounding
this years show was the fact
that the ribbons were spread out
all over the place in almost
every division.
Only in the roadster classes was one
horse able to exercise q monopoly on
the blues and even there R. c.
Flanery's handsome black gelding
Worthy Forbes had to give way to an
other competitor when the roadster
horses were exhibited under saddle
rather than in harness.
Furthermore 1t might be pointed out
that the roadster events were by way
Of being an exhibition, intended to
interest local horsemen in the type,
to give the crowd pleasure and build
a foundation for more classes Of this
sort in the future.
Ribbons Well Scattered.
OF course, there had to be cham
pions and repeat winners among every
type of jallopy showing at Meadow
brook, for it is impossible to get even
a lot Of poker players together with
out somebody popping up with an un-
due percentage of winning hands.
But this year no one could howl that
the big stables were swamping COM
petitors and that everybody who didn't
happen to own IS hunters or jumpers,
a raft Of grooms and an estate in Vir-
ginia, complete with hot and cold
running genealogy, might as well have
stayed at home.
Checking over the championships,
for example, we find that Mr.. and
Mrs. Alvin Untermeyer had exactly
three horses listed In the catalogue
(of which only two were exhibited,
unless we missed something), yet they
won the hunter grand championship
with Hexameter, which also was the
top blue ribbon winner of the four
days, and took the working hunter
stake with Cinelli.
Howard g. Haf1ener, owner of the
reserve hunter champion, BODY E., had
one horse in the show. -
C. v. Henkel, jr., sent .
single jumper named Red Sails
from his stable at Statesville,
N. c., and won the $500 open
stake ~ well - the Jumper tri-
color. q
1t. John Pugh, who owns the re-
serve jumper champion. Sir Conrad,
had no other horse on the grounds.
8. M. Ross. owner Of the handsome
mare, Star Of Them AL. that took
the $3.50 f1ve-gaited championship,
had two horses to carry his colors
against the best opposition the big
barns could produce.
This list could be extended rather
Indefinitely for time and again the
small owners hit the winners circle
OF course, some that sent only . few
horses to the meet had many. many
more at home, but at least the awards
were distributed last week so that the
crowds interest did not nag merely
because the same stable and the same
horse kept on winning and winning
and winning.
Healthy Condition for Game.

One Of the good things about the
advancing salt water season is the
number Of trout coming in with the
regular hardhead catches down in

catches are confined almost exclu-
sively to croakers, but this year the
trout have come along with them in
about a 1-to-6 ratio and they are not
all of them puny things either.
Yellow-fins of from / to pounds,
with a few slightly over that mark,
