The bars were raised to feet
inches and Gratchino was the first
to try. but the height was too great
for the little mare. which failed on
three attempts. Cateer also missed
on his three tries. In fact, neither
of these two horses came near their
previous height of feet. 1t was
now up to Sport Marvel. He had
been a hunter and only recently
was entered in open jumping events
Tommy Cook, his rider, never before
had plloted a horse to such heights
After pulling two bars on the first
try. Sport made two beautiful jumps,
clearing 7 feet each time, and being
the only horse to do so a second
time, but he grazed the top bar
enough to bring it down.
The three jumpers were too tired
for further effort and the purse
was divided
1t was a great day for the U. S.
RandR stable. Besides the showing
of Sport Marvel, his brilliant hunter
Gee Ray Bee won the conformation
hunter championship with 17I2
points over Ramos, owned by Eileen
Brent of Richmond, Va. with Is
points. Troop, also Of the Randle
stables, which has been reserve
champion in the last five shows in
which he entered. finally came into
his own to take the working hunter
championship with ID points. Mr..
and Mrs. Martin Vogels Hylo Ladd,
Gordon Wright's Sieve Bloom, and
Donald Hostetters Mahme tied for
the reserve with II points each.
They tossed and Sieve Bloom took
the honor.
Troop Wins Coveted Trophy.
Then, what many consider the
highest honor of the day, the Robby
Robie Trophy, awarded annually to
the horse having the greatest num-
Der of points in all classes in this
show, was presented to Troop, which
had 33 points. his nearest rival being
his stablemate, Gee Ray Bee,
with 2612.
The New York horses. which we're
we'll in the lead for the jumper
championship at the close of events
Saturday afternoon, couldn't keep
up the pace and had to bow to the
local timber toppers. 1t was Mr.. and
Mrs. Sam Bogley's Ringmaster,
making probably his last appearance
in the show ring for some time, since
his owner is going into the Coast
Guard, that STAYED off the threat
by winning both the jumper sweep
stake and the go-as-you-please,
raising his points TO IS. enough to
win the tricolor, over Mrs William
Watchers Tops1 with liz.
The Junior championship. carry
ing with it the Sungleam Trophy,
presented by Angelina J. Carrabelli
to the horse or pony scoring the

Fox, ridden by the owner.

Martins Cateer, with the owner up,
and Gratchino, ridden by his owner,
Mickey Magill, were the trio that
tied for a record which probably will
stand for some time.
Nine Of the greatest open jumpers
in America or any other land were
entered in the event which simply
was called a high Jump contest, but
turned out to be the most amazing
fencing combat in America horse
show history.
All Clear First Height.
At the first try the complete entry
list of nine horses, Sport Marvel,
Cateer and Gratchino, Randles Way
with Owner Joe PohZehl up; King
Rock, ridden by Margaret Cotter;
Ringmaster, piloted by Sam Bogley;
Lew Dunbar of New York, ridden by
Gordon Wright; Thunder Boy, an
other New York entry, ridden by
Gordon Wright, and r. A. F., owned
by Edythe Bleakney and ridden by
Joe Green, cleared the one jump in
the center of the ring set at feet.
Il practically was an unheard OF feat
for so many horses to clear such a
height in one try.
But the second phase of the con-
test was even more astounding when
the bar at feet was cleared by
eight of the nine competitors on the
first try and by the ninth, King
Rock. with two tries. With the bar
raised to 61s feet, Ringmaster went
out after three attempts, and Thun-
der Boy, the giant horse from New
York. also passed out of the picture
on his third trial. Sport Marvel,
R. A. F.. King Rock, Randle's Way
and Lew Dunbar cleared this height
in one try. Gratchino went over on
his third and Cateer SCARED over on
his second trip This left seven OF
the original nine still in the contest,
all of them having accomplished the
6l2-foot height.
Succeeds on Third Try.
With the bar at 7 feet. the crowd
went wild. sensing new record in
the making. Sport Marvel, which
had been jumping in better form
than any of the other contestants,
was the first to jump. The beautiful
brown gelding missed on his first
try and the crowd groaned. Again
he attempted the height and again
he knocked down the top rail. He
had one more chance, and Tommy
Cook. his rider, made the most OF 1t
as the crowd sat tense. Tommy
brought his mount up in easy space
eating strides as though he were
taking but a 4-foot jump. Up scared
the great gelding and sailed over the
barrier with 2 inches to spare. 1t
was a record for the Capital area.
Next came Gratchino. game
little black mare but 1872 hands
high. Twice Mickey Magill tried
to put Gratchino over and failed.
On the third attempt his heels
scraped along the barrier, but the
top bar stayed in place.
David Martin OH his gray gelding,
Cateer, got a big hand as he en-
tered the ring. The triple-bar
champion rushed at the Jump, as is
his way, gathered himself for
mighty spring. and slid over the
bar on his first attempt.
R. A. F.. Lew Dunbar, Randle's
Way and King Rock all failed after
three trials.
