In Near Flood
TorrentiuI Rain All But
Makes Swimming Meet
Of Horse, Pony Show
BY ROBERT HENRY,
Star Stan Correspondent.

6lileu as q morse snow, Jne 1Ourtn
annual Leny Manor exhibition near
here today turned out to be more
like swimming meet when tor
rental rain left horses, riders and
spectators Drawing small rivers and
kree-deep mud.
Starting under cloudy skies, the
show strictly for juniors and post
poned from last week because of
threatening weather and muddy
grounds, had a good sized crowd
which gradually dwindled as rain
began to fall. Shortly before recess
the skies gave way and the riders
and fans began to shed much of
their attire.
1t was not long before many Of the
exhibitors were riding in swimming
trunks as the onlookers ran around
In their bare feet, soaked to the skin.
Efforts of vans to vacate the
grounds proved futile until enter
prising farmers came to the rescue
with horses and mules, which some
how hauled them onto the main
road half a mile away.
Victorian III Stars.
The Springsbury Farms Victorian
II, pony champion here the past
two years, and ridden by 9-year-old
Jack Lee Payne. proved consistent
performer in both fast and sloppy
going as he won classes before and
during the doWnpour. The little
chestnut was in five events and won
all of them.
Well known to District fans for
his sensational jumping at the
Washington show in June, Victorian
had to clear 40 jumps, many at 31a
feet, before he could conquer Liza
Jane, owned by Mrs. James Hamil-
ton, and we'll ridden by 6-year-old
Barry Hamilton, in the touch-and-
out number. He also won the pony
hunter hack, pony handy hunters,
pony jumping and the pony stake
class.
Mrs. Hamiltons Colandrina, A.
year-old chestnut mare which has
won several blues in various Vir-
ginia shows this year, continued to
score when the judges pinned her
in the open to all class for horses
and the hunter hacks, ridden both
times by Mrs. William Haggin Perry
Black Caddy Second.
Mrs. Perry also rode her giant
Santa Claus to triumph in the
touch-and-out class for horses. The
Ill hands high bay was forced to
jump off twice with Black Caddy,
owned and ridden by Fred Hughes,
jr., of Washington Black Caddy
also finished second after a jump
of against Fenton NJ Fadeley's
Skippy, ridden by Lisbeth Steig, in
the handy hunters.
Santa Claus, ultimate horse cham
pion of the show, later won the
knock down and out over 5 feet
after a jump-of with Skippy. With
mud and water up to the compete
tors knees, the winner never fall
tered as he responded to the urg-
ing of his fair rider. Gold Star,
owned by G. B. Catlett of WASH
ington took third and Black Caddy
fourth.
Despite the treacherous going,
there were no falls.
The show, proceeds of which will
go to the Fauguier County Hospital
was judged by Ellie Wood, Page
Keith and Evelyn Thompson.
