display in the opening class, arriv-
ing as the junp-offs were In prog
ress, but the Second Family stayed
almost to the end and seemed to get
a kick out of it. AS If prearranged,
the nastiest spill of the night took
place right under their eyes wher
Black Beauty stumbled at the first
hurdle in the jumper scurry class
and threw 1t. Buckingham over her
head. AS the brown mare seemed
to fall over the lieutenant's pros
trate body, Mr.. Wallace impulsively
rose with the 1899 other patrons
only to be relieved when Bucking-
ham rolled clear.
This class, incidentally, produced
the hardest riding of the night with
contestants racing against time as
well as faults. In the end, Capt.
Don Vars, astride High Time. beat
Sam, Bogley, up on Ring Master,
by tenth of a second, although the
latter had the crowd shrieking at
his daredevil tactics TOO fast! Too
FAST" they started yelling as Bogley
took off, and He'll kill himself!
He can't keep it up" as he kept
going. But like Don Vars and
Hughes on Black Caddy, Bogley fin
ished without a fault and only Don
Vars greater speed licked him.
Kristi Is Big Surprise.
The biggest surprise came when
Kristi, the 4-year-old daughter of
Black Caddy which had been COM
pletely ignored in the pre-show dis
cussion, beat 80 well-known mounts
including Abdication, Post Meridian
and First Night, which finished sec
ond, third and fourth. Kristi
owned by Mrs. Lee Counselman, was
ridden by Micky Magill.
Although the women's team beat
the mems in their closing mixed
jumping class. 8 faults to II, it fin
ished on the short end Of the two
night competition in which total
scores counted. Inasmuch as the
men outscored their fair opponents,
1872 to 3ola the first night, they
ended II points ahead.
