Rocksie Is Winner.
The greatest thrill of yesterdays
events was provided by Rocksie's s
victory in the featured knock down
and out, with his accomplished
owner, Margret Cotter, up. In this
class were the greatest open jumpers
In the East and, as could be ex-
pected, it required a jump-off before
the issue was settled. Star women
riders took the first three places.
Following Rocksie and Miss Cotter
in second place was Marina, ridden
by Clair Briggs Third went to
Capt. Darcy, owned by Gordon
Wright and ridden by Marion
Loucks of New York. The fourth
ribbon went to Mrs M. E. Whitney's
Bonne Mutt, ridden by Roland
Ridgeway.
Already a duel for the hunter
championships is developing be-
tween J. North Fletcher's Troop,
the only entry from Mr.. Fletcher's
stable, and Inky and Balkonian of
the Quail's Roost Stable of Mr..
and Mrs. George Watts Hill. But
as The Bear, one of the stars
from Mrs. M. E. Whitney's Llangol-
len stables, also has taken a blue
ribbon, the handsome 8-year-old
chestnut gelding may repeat his
tri-color triumph of last week at
the Gallopade Horse Show.
