Win Own Show
End Deadlock With Two
Other Teams to Lond
Decisive Victory

Tied with two other school teams
going into the featured Landon
School Perpetual Trophy class, the
Landon team won that event to add
IS points and thus gather top honors
in their annual horse show at Edge
moor, Md, yesterday with a score
of 81.
A good sized crowd of parents and
students witnessed an excellent ex-
hibition, notable for its keen COM
petition and the extra large list of
entries, totaling more than 225
With strong sun beating on the
gathering the show, recognized by
the American Horse Show Associa-
ton, proved one of the best school
affairs ever held hereabout.
BY winning the Perpetual Trophy
for the second straight year Landon
took permanent possession of the
Masters Trophy which goes to the
team gaining the highest number of
points in the show.
Landon Strong in Crisis.
Arlington Hall Junior College, Ar
lington, Va, and the National
Cathedral, like Landon, had won
two classes before the final event.
Landon had prevailed in the A. S.
P. c. A. horsemanShip and junior
horsemanship classes to place it in
a deadlock with Arlington Hall,
which had scored in the touch and
out and the jumping class for riders
under 10 years of age. National
Cathedral also picked up points
| by winning the A. S. P. C. A. good
hands and the junior hunt events.
However, when the decisive trophy
class was finished the Landon four
easily took first with mere 6l2
faults. Arlington Halls girl riders
we're second with l2la faults and thus
| gained 10 points to be runnerS-up
in the final standing. National
Cathedral was unable to add to its
point score in this class but never
theless gained third honors with the
points already won.
Margaret Hill, a Cathedral stu
dent we'll known around local show
rings, carried away individual hon
ors when she rode her versatile
QUESTIONABLE to victory over 43
other riders in the junior hunt class
and scored in the good hands event
over a large field. The latter vic
tory made Miss Hill eligible to COM
pete in the championship good
hands class at the National Horse
Show in New York next fall.
Fadeley Also Eligible.
Mercer Fadeley, 13-year-old Lam
don student, also became eligible
for national recognition when he
trlumphed in the A. S. P. C. A.
horsemanship event, the champion
ship finals of which also will be held
at the New York show. Young
Fadeley placed in the jumping class
for students under 10 and gained
third In the touch and out class
and junior horsemanship.
Sally Seward gained a hard
earned victory in the touch and out
in jump-off with five others. An
other jump-off found little Eliza
beth Marsh of Alice Deal School,
Jackie Warren of Bethesda Chevy
Chase, and Fadeley going around
the ring three times before Miss
Marsh could take second place.
Miss Warren managed to do a bit
better than Fadeley and took third
place.
