Horace Moffetts Miss Pat was
awarded the grand championship at
the 49th annual Upperville Colt and
Pony Show held on the historic
Grafton Farms near here.
Performing before distinguished
crowd gathered around the we'll
shaded ring, often called the most
beautiful in the country, the 4-Year-
old daughter of Espino continued
her success of Friday, when she won
four blue ribbons. Today she cap
tured three more ribbons, including
a blue, that left her far in advance
OF her nearest rival.
Ridden by Tommy Cook and Ellie
Wood Keith. the chestnut youngSter
finished second to Mrs. John Hay
Whitney's Two Leggins in the light
weight hunters and then beat a
packed field in the ladies hunters,
with Miss Keith up. Miss Pat also
picked up fourth prize in the color

The latter class afforded the best
Jumping of the show. Although the
entry hist was small compared with
the other classes the quality was
first class. After the original round
four horses were left TO jump OIL
for the blue. The jumps went up
to 4i2 feet and NijinSky and the
rSpringsbury Farms Billy Do. jump
er champion at the Washington
show, still were clear.
Billy Do, ridden by Shirly Payne,
was the first to try the four jumps,
two at 5 feet, in the second jump

round. Nijinsky sailed over the
first three jumps in good style, but
rushed the last and lost out when
he hit hard
