Yesterdays Manor Hunt Horse
Show, held on Brook Johns farm
near Norbeck. Md, attracted large
number of riders who expected to
use the exhibition as Warmup for
the Washington show this Friday,
Saturday and Sunday. They got the
Warmup all right and a good deal
more, besides. For the show brought
out competition galore, not to men
ton a large, pleased crowd.
Several classes found a number
of horses jumping off before the
ribbons were awarded, but the best
of the lot was the triple-bar class,
always pleasing to spectators.
Ell ZirO Consistent.
After the first round four horses
were tied for first, so they jumped
off. Lisbeth Steig and her Hi-Ho,
and DR.. Joseph Whitebread's Sergt.
Murphy. ridden by Marian Curran,
could not quite make the grade and
went out. This left w. o. Welsh S
Ell Ziro, ridden by young Mickey
Magill and Black Caddy, with
Owner Fred Hughes, jr. up, to fight
it out, and the former once again
had perfect round to win. Black
Caddy misjudged the final jump
and took second.
The knock down and out class
also called for a jump-off, this time
between nine entries. Four of this
number still were clean, so they tried
again. Lady Jack, owned and rid
den by Gardner Hallnan, was the
only one able to clear the bars,
ranging from S feet to 51a feet.
Elizabeth Lyons Croquos, which
later won the Manor Club Trophy,
and ridden by Arnold Daley, had
the next best performance to gain
second place, ahead of Miss Steig's
Hi-Ho
After losing the tough triple-b bar
class, Mr.. Hughes and Black Caddy
had to work doubly hard to win the
handy hunters event Following a
snappy round which had the ear
marks of victory, they had to come
back and do it all over again be-
cause the judges had failed to get
their number. However the second
try was as good as the first and
they took the blue Several horses
ruined otherwise clever rounds on
the barrel jump and got the gate.
Lady Jack Scores Twice.
The ladies' hunters class, judged
strictly on performance, was an
other class requiring a jump-of
Lady Jack, this time ridden by Mrs.
Hallman, went in her best style to
score over Fair Laun, owned and
ridden by young Jackie Warren.
The Corinthian class attracted a
big field with the riders attired In
full hunting costume, and was won
by John the Baptist, veteran show
ring star, owned and ridden by Mrs.
Lawrence w. Robert. Dorothy Lee
Counselman. riding her Nancy
Steele. was awarded the red ribbon.
A 1-mile fiat race and a 2-mile
steeplechase rounded out the card
and both ended up photo-fnish
style. Last Revue. owned by Mr..
John and ridden by Jockey Pat
terson, successfully STAYED off a
strong stretch drive by Moon
Hunter, warm tip, to win the first
by head. The brush race went to
Worthful. which followed the hot
early pace of Battalion, took the
lead, lost it and then came again
to just beat out Monty, owned and
ridden by Louis Randall.
