Despite gale that had the crowd
chasing Ear and wide for hats, pro-
grams and numbers cards, the an
nual Middleburg Hunter Show went
off without a hitch here today on
the Glenwood Park estate of Daniel

able to stand out numerous doubles
were scored and almost all who COM
peted shared in the awards.
Primarily a show for hunters that
hunt each class it drew packed fields,
several events attracting as many
as 40 entries. Although the high
wind threatened to blow both horses
and riders off the course there were
no spills and, odd to relate, no re-
fusals. which may be record for
horse shows.
