horses quartered in Madison Square
Garden once again are proving to
the equestrian world that the Old
Dominion bows to no other section
in the development OF top-ranking
performers.
While the Mexican Army received
the National Horse Show gallefy's
acclaim for cutting out the pace in
the international military team
class. Pamuck. from the Charlottes-
vile barn of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Renwick, was hailed today for tax
ing one of the toughest hunter COM

His triumph firmly established

of the strongest, if not the strongest,
contingents competing in this 5Sth
renewal of the United States osit-
standing ring exhibition.

Virginia group is constant threat
in any jumping competition, for 1t
came closely after two other out
standing Old Dominion triumphs in
the nationals opening session-that
of Capt. David Wagstaff's Enter
prise. from Fort Myer, in the big
Bowman challenge cup class, and
the win by Chatter Chat in the
thoroughbred hunter event.
Pamuck Triumphs Over 3S.
Chatter Chat, now owned by Mrs.
Ellsworth Augustus of Willoughby,
Ohio. was reared by Mrs. Cary Jack
son at Keswick. Va, and it has been
under the handling of the Abe
marie County woman that the hand
some chestnut gelding has produced
the best results.
But to get back to Pamuck. whose
blue ribbon performance gave the
entries from the District of Column
bis-Marylsnd-Virg area a total
of five major and secondary awards
yesterday. the 6-year-old son Of
Sweep All-Mary Marvin took the
verdict over 80 Of the top hunters

ranean stalls.
Two Of his conquered rivals in the
hunter class staged for the Frank
Melville, jr., Memorial challenge
trophy were former national cham
pions Illuminator. which won the
tricolor for Mrs. Alvin Unternlyer

Chatter Chat. winner for Mrs

best scores made in the nationals
hunter classes this year. Second

Buhl of Crosse Point, Mich, while
third and fourth went to Lady

Newcomer to Show Ring.
The victory of Pamuck came as a
surprise, for the Renwick entry is a
virtual stranger to show ring COM
petition. True, he won the cham
pionship at the Pennington. Va.
hunt show last month. but he is bet
ter known as working hunter and
a family horse and is seldom seen
except behind the Pennington
hounds.
He was purchased three years ago
from George Humphreys Of Cleve-
land, Ohio, through Claude Garden,
an agent at Harrisonburg. Va. and
at the time was regarded as an un-
ruly thoroughbred with little prom
ise as hunter prospect.
Since passing into the Renwicks'
hands. however, he has hunted well,
has had good success in five chances
in the show ring and has become the
pet and favorite mount of the Rem
wicks' 12-year-old daughter, Bar
bara Bla gcien Renwick.
