Jane Kroner Scores
In ; Of 6 Events
With JinWich
Riding and Hunt Plate
Won by Robin Riddick,
Plotting Cheyenne
By ROBERT HENRY.


Feminine riders, although COM
pletely outnumbered, stole the show
completely yesterday at the Potomac
Hunt hunter trials in Bradley Hills.
Md, when the entire siX-event card
fell to members of the so-called
weaker sex. Sharing individual hon.
ors were Jane KRONER and her horse
Jinwich and Robin Riddick and the
thoroughbred Cheyenne.
Miss Kroner, who has been riding
less than three years. scored three
times when the judges decided she
and her 11-year-old hunter were
practically faultless as they went
around the rolling nine lump course
OF IL miles. In one of these classes
they shared glory with Mrs. N. H.
Mcdowell and her daughter, Elaine
Mcdowell, when the trio easily won
the Potomac Plate for teams.
Miss Riddick and her mount Chey-
emma. who few weeks ago scored
thrilling victory in the Dunboyne
Challenge Cup point-to-point race,
stopped the two-year winning streak
of Margaret Sanderson and her gray
hunter Poussin in the Riding and
Hunt Club Plate, when they put up
a perfect exhibition to score at the
expense of Battalion, ridden by w.
G. Hanson.
Fine Performances Amaze.
Miss Sanderson, who had hopes OF
retiring the winners trophy IN this
feature. did not perform up to ex-
pectations. due. mainly. to mlshap
to her mount Friday while schooling
for the trials.
A large crowd at the meet was
surprised by the exceptionally good
performances, which, except for one
or two slight mishaps, were above
average. Miss Sanderson came a
cropper when Royal Bette refused
a fence in the Junior Plate, and 1t.
John Hines. riding Bumper, momen-
tarilv lost the course when compel
ing in the Masters Plate.
The Jinwich- Kroner combination
started its winning ways in the
Chevy Chase Plate, class they had
finished second in. last year. jim
vich. an easy going chestnut son OF
Bv lingo, never left the issue In
doubt. The horse repeated the round
In the Masters Plate to score over
10 others.
Trials End Great Season.
The Junior Plate, which attracted
eight riders under l8 years OF age,
including the former winners, Miss
Sanderson and Margaret Hill, pro-
vided a mild upset when Elaine Nc
Dovell rode her Gay Melody to vic
tory.
Showing the same cooperation
that won the pair race at the recent
point-to-point meet, Mrs. Loeb Shu-
maker. on Locket, and Mrs. Earnest
L. Smith, on Seagram. beat nine
other couples in the Montgomery
County Plate.
The trials brought to close the
Potomac Hunts most successful
season in several years. The judges,
Mai. Gen. John K. Herr, Harvey
Ladev and DR.. A. C.. Randolph,
declared the course the finest they
ever had seen. 1t had everything
one would expect to meet in the
regular hunting field.
