From RondIe's Way

by 1t. Comdr. William Justice Lee
and eXpertly ridden by Charles Car
rico outlasted group of sturdy op-
ponents to win the featured triple
bar class in the Washington Horse
Show at the Meadowbrook Saddle
Club.
So tough was the competition
that the winning horse was forced
into three jumpoffs before taking
the blue ribbon. With the bars
spread 10 feet, Bolter repeated his
three earlier rounds to make a
faultless performance after it seemed
the class might last far into the
night
The final jumpoff was narrowed
down to the ultimate victor and
~, S. Randle's Randles Way, ridden
by William Washburn. However,
the Fairfax representative hit the
first of the two barriers and had to
be content with second place Hi
Ho, owned and ridden by Lisbeth
Steig, took third ribbon on the
toss of coin from Pat OMalley,
owned by Charles Lang of Baltimore
and ridden by James Marsh.
Six Tied After First Round.
After the initial round, six horses
were tied, three of them ridden by
young girls from the District Mar
garet Hill, riding despite an in
jured leg, had two clean rounds
with Just Charming before going
out. Rocksie, ridden by his owner,
Margaret Cotter, made a question:
able touch at the first fence and also
went out Miss Steig and Hi-Ho
had a hind tick at the first fence
before winning the toss that gave
them third place.
The show will end today with the
awarding of championship ribbons
in three divisions Also on the pro-
gram. which starts at l o'clock. are
five stake classes in as many divi-
sions. The costume class, postponed
from yesterday, and the skyscraper
class also will feature the closing
performances.
Favored by better weather than
that which kept Fridays attend
ance down to minimum, yester-
days events attracted about 1000
fans. Members of the Junior
League. taking full advantage of
Nthe improved conditions, were here,
there and everywhere selling hot
and cold drinks to eager customers.
Miss Warren Injured.
The only injury of the show was
suffered by young Jacqueline War
ren, daughter of Monroe Warren,
prominent local real estate opera
tor, when she was thrown heavily
while competing in the junior
sweepstake class early in the after
room. Miss Warren was rushed to
Emergency Hospital. where she was
reported to have suffered broken
left ankle.
Continuing their runaway in the
hunters classes, horses from Vir-
ginia never missed beat as they
scored right and left to completely
dominate the show. Already far in
advance of other exhibitors, Mrs.
John Hay Whitneys imposing string
caught the judges eyes repeatedly
and apparently have lock on both
the working hunters and conforma-
ton championships.
Paced by Two Leggins, hand
some gray horse, the Upperville
outfit stretched their victories to
six as Bon Diable assisted his con-
sistent stablemate with a triumph
in the National Capital Trophy
and the Corinthian class when
ridden by Miss Cotter. Two Leg
gins, victor in three events opening
day, took a blue in the working
hunters and a third in both the
green hunters and the Corinthian
class.
Springsbury Entries Score.
The Springsbury Farm from
Berryville also kept up their success
in the hunter division when they
scored in junior jumpers and jump
ing ponies with the pint-sized
Victorian I'd, which was the hero
OF the morning classes for junior
riders. The stable came back in
the afternoon to win the green
also capture several minor prizes.
Billy Do, another Springbury hope,
improved his second place position
of the first day in the three-day
jumper event to win that class.
The consistent brown horse now
leads on points for the class which
will have its final phase this after
noon. Billy Do has eight points,
five more than his closest COM
petitor, Sandy, of the Fort Myer
Horse Show team.
Although from State known
mostly for its hunters, Billy Do also
leads with eight points for the open
jumper championship, with several
important classes to be decided this
afternoon. All of the Berryville
horses points have been won in the
three-day jumper event. Three
others are tied for second with five
points each. They are Sly Portia,
Bolter and Santa Claus, which failed
to live up to his great reputation
yesterday.
The saddle horse division enabled
the New York owned Trillora Farm
to further their lead when Midday
Son, triple winner Friday won the
three-gaited class for mare or geld
ings The triumph marked the
eighth blue won by the stable in
two days as Modern Rouge and
Gypsey Princess had scored earlier
