perfect day for their luncheon,

thersburg Club on May 26th. The
beautiful spacious home of Mrs.

Remember the story we ran May
20 about T. T. Motifs star steeple-
chaser Floating Isle" winning the
Charles Lanier Appleton Memorial
Race at Belmont Park, May IA,
and bringing gold trophy and
$4,000 to Sandy Spring?
Well, it seems there is quite a
story in the big gold trophy. The
first inscription on it says that il
was presented to the winner of a
"main" in Wales, in 1735, accord
ing to Mrs. E. ]. McSherry, and
its subsequent history has been full
of big" names. 1t is of geld, about
two feet tall, lavishly decorated
with carvings of grapes, and on the
top of the cover stands an ami
mated looking figure of a game
cock. This trophy may be retained
until some other owner wins it.
FLOATING Isle" tried to win it
twice before, and each time missed
by inches, being second to elk
ridge" in 1945, and to Burma
Road" in 1916.
Another trophy also goes to the
winner of the Appleton Memorial
race. MI. Mott will retain perma-
nent possession of a handwrought
silver bowl, made by famous
Scottish artisan in 1929.
Miss Judy johnson of Sandy
Spring is the proud trainer of the
