Lusby Brothers Duel
Sbices Minute Mems
Flashy Horse Show
By LARRY LAWRENCE.

by LAhhY- LAWhENCE.
T'hirty-five hundred equestrian
fans, undaunted by showers, threat
ened and actual, made up an enthu-
siastic gallery which was treated to
a diversified and interesting horse
show sponsored by 935th Company
Maryland Minute Men, held at Col
Riggs estate, Hyattsville, Md, yes
terday.
Senator Wayne Morse's Spice of
Life won his second championship
in row by taking the tricolor in
the saddle class division, which was
decided on points won in two classes.
The Oregon stallion was placed Sec
ond in both events, which gave him
6 points, one-point margin over A.
@. Hargreaves Plair Fair McDon-
aid, which won the five-gaited class.
Honors Are Well Divided.
Ribbons were so equally divided
In the jumper division that four
leapers were tied for the champion
ship: Roger Groves Dandy, Mrs
Robert Herman's Bella Bruna, E. F.
Kellams' Watch Me, Pfc. Bobby
Lees Bonne File and Roger Groves
Mr.. Taylor. Rather than a pro-
tracted jump-off, the judges re-
sorted to the unusual plan of bas-
ing the award on conformation
Bonne File got the nod of the ar
biters. The Lee entry was ridden
by Gardner Hallman, who seems to
be the rider that can get the best
out of the liver-colored jumper. Re-
serve was bestowed on E. F. Kel-
lam's Watch Me, ridden throughout
the show by Warren Dellinger.
Lusby Brothers Stage Duel.
The high spot of the day was the
exciting triple bar, in which was
staged battle between two BROTH
ers, Arnold and Tommy Lusby. 1t
took four jump-offs for pint-sized
Tommy, riding Rogers Groves Mr..
Taylor, to best Arnold, aboard Suit
land Stables RH Wings.
Little Claire Taylor did a noble
job with her big jumping pony,
Baby. She won the pony class with
such ease that she tried for bigger
game by entering the warmup
against the best open jumpers in
the arena. Wee Claire remained in
the running long enough to take
the 12-hand Baby for a clear round
over 4-foot jumps. Some fan,
thrilled by Baby's performance, gave
an additional prize of $40 to the
talented pony's owner. Summaries:
