2e Flower First Over Heavy Going in Wrenon Hunts PotoP Race

Cutting Trophy
Winner Fences CIeunly
All Way; Sans Souei
Third to Finish
By LARRY LAWRENCE.

by LARRY LAW WhENCE.
WARRENTON. Va, March 15.-
Before a crowd of more than
1000 crosse country enthusiasts, Red
Flower, owned and ably ridden by
Francis T. Green of Warrenton,
outsprinted her field to win the
individuals race for the Mary
Converse Cutting trophy of the
Warrenton Hunts eighth annual
point-to-point meet held today at
Woodburne, the estate of Mrs. F.
w. Dorman.
In the good time of 81 minutes
431s seconds, the 9-year-old mare
defeated the favorite, Mrs. Crompton
Smiths brilliant Mowgli, ridden by
Crompton Smith, in one of the most
stirring last half-mileS of any War
renton point to- point race.
Red Flower fenced cleanly
throughout the race and set a
singing pace over the heavy course.
She was followed closely by Dick
kirkpatrick, jr., riding Sans Souci
that eventually finished third,
Thomas Mott, jr., on Port Law and
Mrs. D. j. Hunt on Cheyenne. Also
IN the first flight were E. Gardner
Prime riding Mischief and Mary
Maxwell on Flitaway.
Red Flower Underrated.
This race was decided as much by
the wits of the riders as by the
gameness and foot of the horses.
Smiths friends felt that he held
Red Flower too cheaply and started
his rush for the finish too late to
overtake the daughter of Queens
Guild-Beautiful Flower.
There may be something in that
contention, for Smith once owned
Red Flower and, by his own adm1s-
sion, didn't think much of todays
winner, selling her for the proven
bial song. Though ridden by one of
Americas S greatest cross-country rid
ers and rapidly closing the gap,
Mowgli couldn't quite make it.
In the last third of the race, Mrs.
Hunt, the former Robin Riddick OF
Washington, came to grief at fence
when both she and her mount went
down. Though a rein was broken,
Mrs. Hunt continued the race as
best she could until with little con-
troll of her horse she went down in
a bog and did not finish.
Prime also came cropper in one
of the numerous mud holes on the
course, but finished.
Team Race Is Close.
In the team race, Mrs. Robert Peel
of WarWickshire, England, riding
Troubador, and Lucie Duer, riding
Loops, finished two seconds ahead
of Mrs. Robert Winmill on Rosette,
one of last years team winners, and
Albert Pope Hinckley, up on Sky
Knees. In third place were Mildred
Gaines riding Amory S. Carhart's s
Tiff Miller and J. E. Triplett riding
Hinckley's May Day. Mrs. George S.
Sloan on Wood Nymph and Mrs.
Douglas Prime on Pixie finished
fourth.
The heavyweight event went to
Capt. Dick Kirkpatrick on Memo.
