The kids took the spotlight out on
the East-West Highway yesterday a
the third semi-annuL Chevy Chase
horse show, = 2-day affair. opened be-
fore an enthusiastic gathering In
which were parents Of many Of the
youngsters performing.
In . setting remindful of q country
fair junior day brought forth boys
and girls Of every description riding
their oddly assorted ponies with the
skill Of tried and true veterans, balks,
spills and varied mishaps notwith-
standing.
Carrying away top honors was Billy
Harris riding his famous jumper Patsy
Sweeping through the junior jump
ers, handy jumpers and touch and out
classes the bay mare was awarded the
Junior championship. In the touch
and out class Patsy had to 60 around
twice before gaining the blue ribbon
over Sam Agnew's 3-year-old filly
Kitty Wee. which was competing In
her first show. Brown Bonnet, rid
den by Sam Nash, failed In the jump
on and took third prize.
Ponies Prove Popular.
st. Patrick, owned. and ridden by
Carroll Curran, and reserve to Patsy
won the hacks and hunters class with
Kitty Wee again taking second prize
Modern Melody, owned by Mrs. N. H
Mcdowell and ridden by her dauph-
ter Elaine, beat st. Patrick In the
road hacks class. with Eddie Talbert
astride his Golden Glow showing
Ponies OF the vest pocket size proved
extra popular with the audience A,
they bounced their little riders around
the spacious. vell-groomed ring. The
IL hands and under saddle class went
10 Pinto with 7-year-old George Bau-
man handling the reins. The same
size jumping event went to Star Buddy
with little Harvey Lusby riding like a
cowboy.
The 2-furlong pony race for riders
under IA years Of age proved a run
away for Mrs. E. r. Routt's sturdy
locking Valiant with Ralph Kirk,
brother Of the big-ti jockey, Woody
Kirk. whooping his mount on to q
10-length triumph. Beaten but un-
daunted came Hubert Kleinpeter III
on his Trotter, barely "nosing" out
George Bauman and Pinto by five
lengths.
Disqualified for Cutting Flag.
The race for ponies not exceeding
14.2 hands and riders under is proved
a stirring struggle from flag fall to
finish. The II speedsters tore away
from the gate as one and with each
Jockey" plying the whip with au-
thority it was not until the turn was
reached could Rathbourne's Rascal
ridden by Dean Rathbourne, jr., draw
away to q slight lead.
Snooks, with little Stanley Fentress
in the saddle, was charging up fast
at this point but seeing = mass OF
pony flesh directly before him decided
that the shortest was the quickest way
home and quickly picked up several
lengths by cutting the nag and draw.
ing away to . thrilling win. How.
ever, the judges decided that that
was a bit revolutionary and disquali-
fed the couple, awarding the race tc
Rathbourne's Rascal. Stanley could
not quite get" the judges point and
when last seen wore a very dismayed
| look.
The show will end this afternoon
with 10 classes, touch and out, ladies
hunters, triple bar and "skyscraper'
numbers being among the most i'm
portant.
