BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

The Redland Hunt point-to-point
races, which each spring usher in
the annual croSs-country season, get
under way at o'clock Saturday
from the farm of Harry Blunt, jr,
near .Laytonsville, Md. The Red
lands four-race card generally is
packed with enough thrills and un-
expected happenings to satisfy the
most rabid cross-country fan and
this years running should be no ex-
ception with its entry of top-fight
get-there- -and-back hunters.
The featured event of the day will
be the better -than-4-mile scramble
for the Redland Bowl and from the
class of horses entered each year il
seems it is being regarded as one of
| the choicest pieces of silverware on
which a horseman can have his
name engraved. Among the out
| standing endurance horses that are
| out for this grueling race are: Bal
leray, an entry of the Duhallow
Farm to be ridden either by Miss
Mary Maxwell or William Guile;
| Cheyenne, one of the best chassers
in this locality, to be ridden by
Owner Mrs. Robin Reddick Hunt;
Port Law, owned and to be mounted
| by Tom Mott, jr., and another Mott
horse, the much disputed Play Pal,
to be ridden by Judy Johnson.

Mowgi, Crompton Smiths grand
youngster, that had long lead in
last years race when the mare
! Jumped wide to avoid another horse
and came down injuring her owner
rider, is entered and will be ridden
by Beatty Brown of Middleburg.
Nancy Hanna. capable racing secre-
tary of the Redland Hunt, will be

Thomson will ride Kitty Kar, and
Mrs. Frank j. McSherry, who came
to grief in last years event, is trying

up Another great horse that is ex-
pected to be taking the fences in
this race is Monte R., Louis A. Ran
dall's grand timber-topper veteran

Spectators Given Break.
The course for this years effort is
one which gives the spectators a
clear view of the entire race and is
up hill and down dale over blue glass
fields the entire distance. There IS
not one chicken coop on the course,
but the barriers all are natural rail
fences. 1t really seems that the
club has gone back to the old
fashioned point-to-point in that it
is simply a race to one point and
back, picking your own course going
your own way. The only flags are
those which mark the fences.
The heavyweight race, next IN
Importance to the bowl, has good
field, in which the most prominent
are: Beatty Browns big Connie
dian, Leapyear, owned and to be
ridden by Tom Mott, sr.; Frank
Billiards Flying Charger, with Paul
Wimert up, and Bucephalus, owned
by William La Sale, who will ride
his entry.
Another Promising Race.
The Terpenning Cup pair race has
some likely couples entered, among
them Bill Mackey on Mack and
Blair Richards on Tim; Miss Max
wells entry from the Duhollow
Farm, and Big Boy and Body Guard
to be ridden, respectively, by E. B.
Mcintyre and Mrs. Charles Smith.
The judges will be Stedman Pres
colt, Lacy Shaw, DR.. Benjamin Perry
and Edward johnson of Garden City,
N. Y. The clerk of scales, 1t. G. J..
Freeman, announces that each
; owner will be responsible for the
weight his rider will carry, in other
words bring your own lead.
