BY KOBERT HENRY.
Although she failed to share in
the championship awards, w. o.
Welch's Elzoro was the real star
OF the Indian Spring junior horse
show held yesterday on the Indian
Spring Valley Farm in nearby Mary
land for riders under 10 years of
age.
Competing in a slight drizzle and
with the footing none too good,
the 8-year-old mare, which four
weeks ago lost gangling foal when
dirt he had eaten killed him, cleared
a triple-bar jump that was 512 feet
high with spread of feet.
Open jumping has always been
tough around Washington, but old
timers were wondering when they
had seen such class as this one.
Starting at but 3l2 feet with the
usual 6-foot spread, the barriers
quickly went up as all but one of
the entries was clean.
Gradually two and three horses
dropped out in the ensuing jump
offs until the jumps were up to the
final notch. Black Caddy, owned
by Fred Hughes, jr., and ridden
by Frank Happy" Christmas, and
the winner were the only ones still
surviving. The little black horse,
which two weeks ago forced Mar
garet Cotters Rocksie to jump 6
feet 3 inches before the latter won
the knockdown- -and-out class at the
Washington show. then began to put
on one of his mo thank you" acts
and refused three times.
Second Stellar Victory.
Many expected Elzoro to do like
wise. SO menacing was the jump,
but with 15-year-old Mickey Magill
booting hard the chestnut astounded
all present by easily going over clean.
1t was the second consecutive triple
bar victory for the thoroughbred
mare this summer. as she also scored
hard-earned victory at the Manor
Club show three weeks back.
Black Caddy and Tahra, owned by
June Curran, put on stout battle
for championship honors, and while
the former managed to win two
blues and red, the gray 4-year-old
took leading honors with one tri-
umph and three second ribbons.
Tahra had to wait until the next
to the last class of the day before
breaking into the win column. With
Marian Curran, jr., in the saddle
the trim little mare scored over a
big field to capture the Corinthian.
held over the outside course Before
that she had finished second in the
hunter hacks, working hunters and
the bride path hacks to pile up IA
points, one more than Black Caddy.
The latter was entered in only
three classes, but twice was VIC
torious After getting second in
the triple-bar class he won the open
jumpers and the touch and out,
both of which necessitated jump
offs. Black Caddy also took time
out to give Amber Blick a quick
kick on the arm. which, luckily re-
suited in no broken bones for the
boy.
Currans Get Ribbons.
Marian Curran, jr.. starred In
the morning events when he won
both the good-hands class and the
open horsemanship event. June
Curran gained third to her brother
in the first and took the red ribbon
in the other.
