vision, with Capt. Thomas Trap
nell up.
Another star of the show was
petite Jane Kroner, daughter OF
Gen. Leon Kroner, retiring CHIEF
of U. S. cavalry. Miss Kroner
started show ring competition in
January of 1887 and prior to that
time had taken little interest in
horses, despite her fathers pro
fession. Duty had never landed
General Kromer's family in either
of the two great Army riding cen
terS-Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley. But now that the general
is going to retire and live perma
nently in Washington, Miss
KRONER plans to devote a great
deal of time off from her job as
secretary at King-Smith School to
competitive riding.
CLEAN-CUT FASHION
Riding her fathers horse, jim
wich, Miss Kroner took the work
ing hunters event, over the stiff
and confusing 21-jump outside
course, away from such seasoned
Army performers as Clipped Wings
and Red Cloud. Her pace was not
fast, but JinWich carried her over
in honest, clean-cut fashion.
The Arlny's outside course is gen
orally something to marvel at and
yesterdays layout was no excep-
ton. One of the hurdles was a
huge Sunken oil barrel Surmounted
by a rail held upright by brick
posts. Another jump featured
railroad ties piled over three feet
high, as solid an obstacle as would
ever be found in a hunting field,
and q perfect hurdle if you are
accustomed to taking your morn
ing canter down by the railroad
yards.
Capt. Henri Leubbermann took
faultand-out honors on the
veteran Sandy, whose one good eye
is worth two Of many another
jumpers. Open hunters ribbon
went to Miss Isabella Harris
Dandy Jim, ridden by Gardner
Mailman; and Rusty, the reserve
champion, won the open jumping
contest in the heavy going with
out jumpoff.
BAND PLAYS
Capt. Isaac Kits and American
Lady skipped about in their pre-
else dressage exhibition in the
feature of the afternoon, with the
Army Band as accompaniSt. Capt.
George Milholland described each
maneuver, as it was executed, for
the laymen present over the loud
speaker and wound up his nara
tive chit-chat with:
Ladies and gentlemen,
want you to note one unusual
thing about this performance
both Captain Kits and Amer
lean Lady are exactly the same
age-19."
