BY Half Length; Scores
With Comedienne
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.


T. Beatty Brown, gentleman rider
of Middleburg, Va. won the Red
land Bowl on MoWgli, Mrs. Cromp-
ton Smiths great croSs-country
gelding, and repeated to take the
heavyweight point-to-point on his
own Comedienne at the Redland
Hunts point-to-point races yeSter-
day on the farm of Harry Blunt,
jr., near Olney. Md.
About 100 hardy souls braved
a foot of snow underfoot and
lowering skies above to witness the
running of the four-race card.
What had promised to be large
entry in each race was considerably
cut by owners refusing to run their
prize hunters over terrain made
treacherous by weather conditions.
The Terpenning Cup pair race.
which opened the program, was
Walkover for Windsor Boy, owned
and ridden by Hazel Welsh, teamed
with Big Boy, owned and ridden by
E. B. Mcintyre. who went over the
course without opposition in l3 min
utes, 80 seconds.
Spectacular Victory.
The Redland Bowl Jared better.
A larger proportion OF original
entries braved the elements to try
for a win of this notable trophy.
MoWgli came back this year To a
spectacular win by half length
over Port Law, ridden by Thomas T.
HtrF
Mott, ST. Last year Mrs. Smiths
young gelding, ridden by Mr:
Crompton Smith. came to grlef
when well in the lead, through an
accident due to an attempt to eVade
another rider coming in the OPP
poSite direction.
Crompton Smith, one OF the
greatest steeplechase riders IN
America. was not able to ride today
because of a recent tonslllectomy.
Brown. however. was an able sub
stitute. He kept well off the pace
in the early part of the race, but
moved up gradually to be well
toward the front about mile from
the finish, where it was evident that
who was setting the pace, and
MoWgli.
Scores in Good Time.
While it might not have had any
particular effect on the result.
Tommy Mott. jr's mount slipped
badly coming down the hill and
Brown. one of the shrewdest cross
country riders in this section, took
quick advantage of his opponents
misfortune to make his run at this
point. Forging TO the front, MoWgh
never again was headed and won
his race by a length. but with
plenty of foot to spare. in the good
time of 10 minutes 7 seconds.
In third place was Thomas T.
Motifs Play Pal, ridden by Judy
johnson Fourth place went to
Nancy Hannah's Gone away, ridden
by the owner.
Forced to ride a second choice.
Mrs. Frank J. McSherry was
mounted on The Fox an ancient
horse that followers claim is the
oldest in competition. Before the
race Gerald B. Webb inspected the
old chargers teeth and declared he
must be at least 40 years old Be
that as it may, at the end of the
race The Fox was well up in front
and forcing the winners to do their
best.
Coincidence Takes Race.
In the heavyweight race there
were plenty of scratches and only
two horses faced the starter-Leap
Year, owned by Thomas T. Mott. ST..
and ridden by Judy Johnson. and
/ Comedienne. owned and ridden by
T Beatty Brown. This appeared
to be a nice winter ride for the two
opponents. who leisurely sauntered
over the course until the last mile,
when they made a race of it,
Coincidence winning by two lengths.
The gap hunters race was won
by Thomas T Mott. sr.. riding Bill
Second was David Martin riding
Nanette.
