hard riding Hamilton family from
Dunottar Pony Farm near Warren
ton overwhelmed its opposition in
the Stonelea Riding Academy horse
and pony show staged here today as
a benefit for the Fauquier County
Chapter of the Red Cross.
A small throng which braved in
termittent snow, sleet and rain to
witness the benefit saw Mrs. James
C. Hamilton and her four children
win both the horse and pony
championships and IA other ribbons,
including five blues, four seconds,
q third and four fourths.
Golondrina, veteran chestnut
fencer which took the champion
ship rosette in the horse division
for Mrs. Hamilton. was hard
pressed to do so by the reserve
champion, Mountain Music, a 2
year-old filly. and her 11-year-old
owner and rider, Nancy Marsh of
Washington, D. c., and Warrenton.
Mountain Music Faults.
Both mounts tied with nine points
during the running of the 14-class
program, which was put on by the
young riding pupils of Mildred
Gaines, owner of Stonelea Riding
Academy, when they learned the
Fauquier unit of the Red Cross
was hard put for funds to continue
Its activities. and two jump-offs
were necessary to decide the issue.
Both went cleanly the first time
around the four fences in the ring
course. but in the second jump-off
Mountain Music faulted at the first
fence to give the title to Mrs.
Hamilton's hunter.
Gray Knight, ridden throughout
the show by Mrs. Hamilton's g.
year-old son. James C. Hamil-
ton, jr,, lifted the pony title with IA
points. Another Hamilton entry,
Jock. tied with Bien Jolie, owned
by Mrs. Robert Winthrop's Grotten
Stables of Warrenton, for the re-
serve pony title with nine points,
but the reserve rosette finally went
to Bien Jolie on conformation.
Three other Hamilton children
Barry, years old, and Peggy
and Picken, both 11-took a hand
in their familys success and ac-
counted for a number of the ribbons
which went to Dunottar Farm.
Picken turned in blue with a fine
performance on her mothers Co.
londrina in the childrens hunters
class for horses over 142 hands.
Wilbur Sisters in Duel.
Two sisters. Jane and Elizabeth
Wilbur. fought it out in spirited
fashion for the blue in the touch
and-out class for horses and jumped
off twice before the former took the
top award with her own Glenora.
Elizabeth Wilbur was second on
Alex Calvert's PloW Boy, which is
just what its name signifies. A
percheron which tolls regularly IN
the fields, but whose jumping ability
earns him an occasional Saturday
off to fraternize with show ring
royalty. Plow Boy forced Glenora
to turn in a perfect round to beat
him in the second jumpof.
