last-Minute Entries
Are Needed 10 Fill
Show al Myer
Horsemen Shun Contests
Tomorrow as Mounts
School Poorly

Pre-show schooling and a SLOW
filling entry list indicate the horse
show scheduled to start at 7:30
o'clock tomorrow night at Fort Myer
should be as successful as the two
earlier affairs of the winter series
when practice rounds reached a new
low and the majority of exhibitors
waited until the last minute before
filing entries.
Although the deadline for naming
mounts is tonight at midnight, only
few exhibitors have come through
with their starting fees and unless
there is a sharp reversal of form
in tonight's schooling session over
that of last night it will require
unusual optimism on the part OF
owners and riders to kick in.
However, show regulars have a
never-say-die spirit. This was re-
vealed last night when nearly 70
horses were sent through their PAGES
two or three times in an effort to
bring out latent ability.
Student Practice Poor.
Arlington Hall girls, who are lead
ing the student team jumping COM
petition by half a point over Univer-
sity of Maryland riders, did not show
to advantage in practice. Graham
Latimer and Jean Holden had rough
trips over the jumps that will make
up the course with their mounts,
Lady Valorous and Ocean Breeze.
Sally Seward, one of the better
Arlington Hall riders, finally took
charge of Lady Valorous and using
whip as persuader sent the young
mare around in greatly improved
form.
Fritz Kleemann, Arlington Hall
riding instructor, is planning to give
the hunter division exhibitors a sur
prise when he rides Cagliari in the
road hack class. This mare, i'm
ported from Europe and a full sister
to Cronus, winner of the interna-
tional dressage class at the last
Olympic games, has been shown up
North for the past six years.
Marlboro Men to Ride.
Two riders from Marlboro, Md
were on hand last night and each
has designs on a ribbon or two. Hal
Clagett and Ladder Mackall, who
usually devote their riding time to
hunting, have entered Black Knight
and Negrita.
While the civilian mounts were
badly off form, most of the Army
horses made an excellent showing
Gay Cockade, owned by Capt. John
Collier, was close to top form, and
Smacko, last years jumping cham
pion, whipped around the course
without mishap.
So far, only one judge has been
selected-Maj. Gen. Guy v. Henry
Nothing has been heard from B. S
Wing of Monkton. Md, who has
been invited to oficiate with Maj
