Show Is CoIorfuI
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

the 18th holding OF the Montsom-
cry County Horse Show on the farm
Of r. A. Barnsley, near Olney, Nd,
yesterday. The famous six and four
horse teams with their brass-trim-
med harnesses, waving plumes and
tinkling bells, drawing great, newly
painted farm wagons, were out in
colorful competition. Montgomery
County is unique in that 1t is one Of
two counties in the country where
teams are guided by one rein, called
a jerk line. as they were In Colonial
days.
Thirty-flve hundred spectators
crowded around the spacious arena
saw Ralph Leishear's bespangled
entry put through maneuvers that
would rival crack horse-drawn
battery Of artillery to win the fea-
tured six-horse team driving con-
test. Sharing top driving honors
was George Jones, who won the
four-horse team driving competition.
Paige Brothers and w. H. Wagner
won a majority OF the featured
breeding classes. Joe Harris. r. p,
Nicholson, Warren Howes, Mahlon
Kirk and j. M. Howes also had en-
tries that were high in the ribbons.
Martin Victor on Cateer.
The hunter, jumper and pony
classes, which in this show are Of
secondary importance to the breed
ing contest, were well filled with
entries Of some of the best stables
of the Capital area. The high spot
of the day in the open jumper Sec
ton came when 1t. Dave Martin OF
the Navy Air Force, home on leave,
rode his national triple bar cham
pion, Cateer, to victory in the knock
down-and-out. Mrs. Lee Counsel
mans beautiful jumping mare,
Kristi, sired by the great Black
Caddy, and ridden by Jane Blount,
won the junior hunters and the
hunter hacks. Pat Adams Three
Feathers, was perhaps the highest
point winner with victories In the
open saddle, ladies' hunters second
in the punior hunter, and third ir.
hunter hacks.
Ballantrae Double Winner.
Ballantrae Farm had two winners
in Aristocrat, which took the open
hunters, and Ballantrae Boy which,
teamed with Aristocrat, turned in a
faultless round to win the blue in
the pairs of hunters.
Topping the flve-gaited field was
Warner Humphreys Primrose Prin-
cess, a housekeeping grey which,
under her owners hand, took first
honors in the fiye-gaited saddle and
the driving class.
