Young Horse Though!
To Need Only Gain
In Heft 10 Star
D. G. Entries Score One
Of Their Rare Wins
In Hunter Division
Ry ROBERT HENRY.

Usually when Washington horses
invade Maryland or Virginia show
rings they are odds-on favorites to
return with open jumper laurels,
but little to show for their efforts
in hunter classes. This was re-
versed yesterday when the fourth
annual Marlborough Hunt Horse
Show came to a close at the Marl-
boro (Md0 Fair Grounds.
Hunter champion was Mrs. N. H.
McDowell's inexperienced thorough
bred, Dunstar, and reserve was Ed
die Talbert's young He'll Try, both
Of Washington. The jumper title
and reserve went to High Boy, owned
by Hammond Welsh and w. O.
Wekh's Elizora, respectively, both
Southern Maryland entries.
Few of Washington's open horses
were entered, mainly because the
recent show at Meadowbrook left
them unfit for competition. Such
winners as Black Cady Hi Ho and
Lady Jack were absent and this left
the division wide open. A disap-
pointing entry from around Marl-
boro also paved the way for Dis
trict competitors to shine in the
hunter division.
Dunstar Surprises Owner.
No one was more surprised than
Mrs. Mcdowell, who claims to be
one Of the few grandmothers show
ing, that Dunstar took the hunter
title. Dunstar, q Virginia-bred son
Of Dmlin-Star Emerald, which Mrs.
Mcdowell traded a few months ago
for Modern Melody, saw action on
the race track when q youngster,
and like most former runners is
greatly In need Of weight. The fact
that two such expert judges as Otto
Furr and CORTLAND Smith of Mid
dleburg fancied Dunstar has given
Mrs. Mcdowell confidence that when
the horse gains IS pounds or so he'll
be winner anywhere. Mild exercise,
mostly walking, is expected to take
care Of the weight problem.
Winner of three blues in Satur-
days opening classes when ridden
by Mrs. McDowell's daughter Elaine,
Dunstar managed to take only one
second ribbon yesterday in the open
hunters, which 1t. Comdr. w. j.
Lees Bolter won. Elaine was cram
ming for exams yesterday and could
not ride, so Mrs. Mcdowell handled
the champion in his only two hunter
classes.
Bolter, with 1t. Comdr. Lee
riding, retired the Marlborough
Hunt Trophy with his third straight
victory in the class restricted to
members of the hunt. Competition
in this class reached a new low,
for only one or two of those entered
have shown anything noteworthy.
Bolter came back later to win the
open hunters over q slightly better
field.
Another Washington horse took
two f1rsts when Mrs. Richard Haw-
kins, jr.'s Isolde won the green
hunters with his owner up and the
scurry class with Talbert UP. High
Boy could earn only third in the
latter class after winning the open
jumpers sweepstakes and the touch
and out when ridden by Mickey
Magill. The two points picked up
in the scurry broke deadlock be-
tween High Boy and Ellzora for
the jumper title, the final score
being IA points to IL.
The best jumping of the day was
In the triple bar, which went to Paul
Weimert's Donomar after two extra
rounds. Ellzora was second here
and also second in the sweepstakes.
