Star Staff CORRESPONDENT,

AVS My Olc guess WHICH QOfBe
will win the championship when
the 14th annual Rappahannock
County Horse Show closes here to-
night, for when the final classes
opened this morning honors were
well distributed.
Chances that a 3-year-old would
repeat the victory Of Robert s.
Waters Royalty I'd, 3-year-old win
ner two years ago and champion also
last year. was possible. what with
Mrs. D. N. Lees handsome chestnut
colt, Spanish Spear. claiming two
blues after yesterdays opening.
Ridden by Aubrey Fishback. the son
of Espino first won the green hunt
ers and later the hunter hacks.
While these two classes count only
half toward the title, there is no
belittling the fact that he won them
and that the judges have marked
him down as a good one.
Quality Abundant.
There is plenty of quality here,
especially in the hunter division.
Among the better ones included in
the IS conformation performers are
Royalty, recent Upperville cham
pion; DR.. L. M. Aliens Clifton's
Lad. Culpeper titlist: Speed Demon,
another good one in Mrs. Lees stable
and winner of the Arlington Hall
tri-color; Mrs. M. E. Whitney's Bon
Diable. Spring Hope, The Bear and
Airy Spirit, Mrs. George Watt Hills
Balkonian and Inky. winner of the
Washington show title, and Betty
Couzens Repulsion. All are very
much in the running although only
Repulsion, Balkonian and Royalty
won blues yesterday. Mrs. w. Hag-
gin Perry's recent purchase, Village
Miss, winner of the brood mares
class, also might get the top award
Competition in the jumping
classes promises to be stiff although
one of the Districts main hopes,
Skippy Stieg's Hi Ho, suffered an
injury before the show started and
will be on the sidelines. The chest
nut mare hurt a leg vanning to
the grounds. Miss Stieg, however
probably will ride Black Caddy OF
1t. Fred Huges, jr., who might
not be able to leave Fort Belvoir
where he is stationed. Caddy was
in one open class yesterday and
spoiled a good round with a hit
at the next to last fence.
Huntley Glen Formidable.
There are five open jumping
events today and the horse to beat
is Mrs. Perry's Huntley Glen
jumper champion at Washington
while showing for Nancy Marie
Shaw of Uniontown, Pa. Huntley
yesterday won the open hunters. ir
which performance only counted
Third in this class was H. H. Butz
Hobo, triple winner last year.
Several District horses have
chances for taking headlines in the
jumper events. as the Old Dominion
entrants are more concerned with
the hunter awards. Among these il
Mr.. and Mrs. Gardner Hallman's
Lady Jack, winner of the sky
scraper class at the Washington
show in May, when she topped
feet. Mrs. Lee, however, might star
in both divisions as she has entered
Clover Seed in all of the open
events. including the knock down
and out, which last year went to
5l2 feet with Hobo the victor.
Clover Seed took the triple bar
event at Culpeper recently after
four extra rounds. If he's in form
he should give Huntley Glen, Black
Caddy, Lady Jack, Hobo and the
rest ample trouble.
