Quality OvercOmes Quantity.
In opening day classes yesterday
exhibitors found that quality was
more important than quantity, each
OF the three double winners being
from stables that had three or fewer
horses entered. Rascal, winner of
the limited hunters and lightweight
hunters, is the sole entry of Mrs.
Austin Jennings of Wesport, Conn.
Huntley Glen, victor in the handicap
Jumpers and first phase of the three
day jumper event, is the only horse
being shown by Nancy Marie Shaw,
while Highland Ace, first in the
green hunters and suitable to be-
come hunters, is one of two repre-
senting C. M. Greer, jr.'s stable
from Upperville, Va.
The only other stable to earn two
blues was that of Mrs. George Watts
Hill of Durham, N. c., whose Bal
konian triumphed in the model
hunters and whose Inky won the
open working hunters. Mrs. Hills
other entry, Lucky Buck, failed to
score. The large stables of Mrs.
John Hay Whitney of Upperville
and Mr.. and Mrs. George P. Green
ha!gh of Berryville which scored
heavily last year, had little luck until
Billy Do, 1889 jumper champion, won
the open working hunters for the
Greenhalghs.
Other Stables Disappointed.
Two other strong strings which
were expected to account for numer-
Gus ribbons managed to land only
one blue between them. The stable
leased by Patricia Boiling from Mr..
and Mrs. Alvin Untermyer of Green
W1ch, Conn, was shut out. It's main
hopes, HeXameter and Illuminator,
so far have not appealed to the
hunter judges although both have
earned championships at the New
York National Show. The other
stable, owned by Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Haggin Perry of Gotham, Va, took
only one first when To Victory won
the open hunters. Other members
OF this usually successful outfit,
Scotchwood, Bo Bend, Demopohs
and Santa Claus, failed to garner
anything more than minor awards.
Local owners, who generally have
trouble winning in their own show,
were upheld early when Samuel
Bogley rode his Ringmaster to vic
tory in the warmup jumpers class
over most of the best jumpers quar-
tered at MeadoWbrook. 1t required
three extra rounds for Ringmaster
to win. He was forced into the
Jumpoffs by the Greenhalghs' Big
Boy. In another series of jump
offs Lisbeth Stieg's Hi Ho, one of
the main hopes of the hometowners,
bowed in the knockdown and out
to Lew Dunbar, owned by DR.. and
Mrs. Walter T. Kees of New York
City. Miss Bobbie Williams, who
rode the winner, suffered one of
the four falls of the day before win
ming. The only serious fall was
that OF Frank Christmas, who in
jured shoulder while schooling
U. S. Randle's Randle's Way.
Isolde and Cockade Score.
Other local winners were Mrs.
Richard H. Hawkins, jr.'s, Isolde.
which captured the local hunters.
and Capt. John Golfers Cav
Cockade, winner of the officers
jumping class.
Royalty II, owned by Robert S.
Waters of Johnstown, Pa, and one
OF the favorites for the hunter
championship, earned top honors in
the middle and heavyweight hunt
ers, with Mrs. Perry riding. The
