best of the long and glorious Sc
ries." Forty-three classes were
run off in this meet, with hunter
classes averaging so entries each.
Winners at this event included

Nesbit and Mrs. W. c. Lang.
Leading pony rider of the show
was Peggy Keith, who, as Mrs.

: The Warrenton (Va.) horse
show is celebrating its golden an.
niversary over the Labor Day
week end, with a two-day mee'
scheduled for Sunday and Mon
day. Those remaining forecasters
of half a century ago who pre-
dicted that a show at Warrenton
would be a lasting success will be
proudly accepting the congratula-
tions of the horse show world or
those days.
The show was started in Sep
tember. 1899. by public-minded
citizens of the small community
and a ring was laid out in the
center of an open field. primitive
srandstand was erected, and the
FIRST annual Warrenton horse
show, destined to become world
famed as the Hunter Show OF
America" had its inception. The
show was q spontaneous success
A sporting journal of the day
reported: There is probably nc
sportier center on the Western
continent than the beautiful little
town of Warrenton. Everybody
there loves a horse and everybody
rides a horse. The manage
ment of the show was excellent in
every particular and the entries
Of the very highest class. So nu-
merous we're the entries that
classes had to be called early each
morning. About 5000 peo-
pie were present each day
the total population of Warrentor
being less than that number"
Improvements Made.
BY next year the capacity of the
srandstand was doubled and i'm
provements were made from time
to time as the popularity Of the
show increased. In September
1909, when the show held its 10th
annual event, the same journal re.
ported: 1T can be said without
hesitation that one of the great
est open-air shows of the South
took place in Warrenton
the two days exhibit was a recorc
breaker in every sense of the word.
The attendance for the two days
averaged 1000 people" Winner.
ut that show included such mem
orable names as Mrs. Allen Potts
Mrs. Julian Morris, Anne Royal,
G. H. Smith, Roger Bayly, Mr.

ship in 1880, and who 20 years be-
fore had tied for the national
title. only to lose 1t In a. playofi
to hts equally noted brother Alex.
Mac Smith also was the man
who won the rich Los Angeles
Open tournament four times, q
feat that such contemporaries OF
the late '20s and SOS as Walter
Hagen, Gene Sarazen and Tommy
Armour never were able to ac-
complish.
Yet Mac Smith. despite his sure
shots from the tee. his stylish
irons and carefully schooled per-
lection on the greens. never was
able to bag one Of the world s
major championships.
Regained His Strength.
He had been in so-so health for
the last year after serious heart
condition almost brought death
in 1947. He regained strength,
however, and at an age when
many competitors long since have
retired, played in the Los Angeles
Open-and shot in the mid-70s
for the first two rounds-last jan
uary.
His wife, who discovered that
death had overtaken old Mac,
said he had been troubled with
a slight cold recently. but ap-
peared all right otherwise.
The Smiths had lived here since
1885 when the old master became
resident professional for the Oak
mont Country club. a position he
held until semi-retirement from
teaching In 1916.
Mac Smith was golfers golfer,
particularly golfers of the old
school. and longtime friends con-
fided he was none too impressed
with some Of today's crop Of play
ers-the kind who hit 'em a mile
and then scramble to get down.
Immaculate in appearance, Mac
continued to wear his carefully
tailored knickerbocker attire in
play throughout the years when
plus fours were considered passe

the short pants came back into
vogue-and more amused at some
OF the flambouyant get-ups in the
ranks today.

I Macs attire reflected his game
. conservative, well disciplined
style that three times placed hin
within the top four, Of the British
open, twice within reach of the
United States crown, and the
winner Of innumerable local anc
sectional triumphs.
Born in Carnoustie, Scotland, he
came to the US. with his brothers
Alex, George. Willie and Jim, al
a teen-age lad. He was just ou1
OF his teens when he, Alex anc

ply, assistant United States at.
torney, read to the jury the
transcript of the defendants testi-
mony before a Federal grand jury
on March 16, 1948. a document
making its appearance for the first
time in either trial.
The transcript showed that Mr.
Hiss at that time admitted-as he
has never denied-that he knew
most of the men who later were
named by Mr.. Chambers as Mr..
Hiss fellow members of the Com
munist prewar underground in
Washington.
The grand jury asked Mr.. Hiss
about a series of persons, includ-
ing Mr.. Pressman, John Abt,
Nathan Witt, Henry Collins and
Harold Ware, and Mr.. Hiss said
he knew them, but not as Com
munists.
He denied that he ever gave I'M
authorized information to any of
them at any time.
This was more than four months
before Mr.. Chambers made his
charges before the House Commit
tee on Un-Amercian Activities. In
that grand jury hearing. Mr.. Hiss
also was asked about Mr.. Cham
bers, replying that he had been
asked about him before and did
not know him.
The morning session produced
the one sharp exchange between
prosecutor and defendant since
Mr.. Murphy began his cross
examination last week. This came
when Mr.. Hiss said he thought q
defense witness, Mr.. Martha Pope
q former maid of the Kisses, was
mistaken in saying she remem-
bered seeing Mr.. FRESHMAN ano

Mr.. Hiss said firmly that h
would continue to be both truth
full and responsive.

Dewey Reported Set
To Retire Temporarily,
Seek Presidency Sc
BY the Associated Prsss

NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-The
New York Times today said it is
likely that Gov. Dewey will retire
temporarily from public life at
the end of his present term as
Governor Of New York.
Warren Moscow. political writer
for the Times, said there are indi-
cations that Gov. Dewey will not
be a candidate for Governor in
1850 or for President in 1852, but
may come back into the presi-
Dental race in 1856 or 1860.
MIR. Dewey would be only 81
years old in 1856.
Mr.. Moscow said there were two
tangible developments" tending
to confirm the prediction.
One was an announcement from
Princeton University that Gov.
Dewey will deliver four lectures
on the American Political Sys-
tenn" there in February and April.
Plans to Be Elder Statesman"
The other was what the Times
called definite information" that
Gov. Dewey would appoint his
counsel, Charles D. Breitel. to the
Supreme Court of the first judi
cial district.
The Times said these moves in
dictate that Gov. Dewey is seeking
the role of party elder states
man. where he can comment on
public affairs without the re-
sponsibilities of Office, and that
he wants to take care of his close
associates in public Office before
ne steps down himself on Deem
Der 81. 1850.
The Times said the Breitel de-
cision was made with full knowl-
edge that Republican Party lead
ers would regard it as an unof-
fetal retirement announcement.
Even before that, Mr.. Moscow
said, the Dewey team" lost Elliott
v. Bell, who went into the pub
fishing business. and Lawrence E.
Walsh, assistant counsel, who was
made counsel Of the Public Service
Commission. All three have been
Dewey "braintrusters."
Chance to Boost Income.
Another clue was Gov. Dewey's
recent reply to John c. Higgins of
Portland, Greg. his 1948 Oregon
campaign manager. that he def
initely did not plan to run for
President in 1852. Asked if the
answer meant Mr.. Dewey would
never try again, the Governors
Office said the question applied
only to 1852 and so did the
answer. Gov. Dewey declined
further comment.
The Times said that even If he
won reelection as Governor in
1850 he would be out Of office two
years before the 1856 presidential
race, and that a spell of private
life would give him a chance to|
boost his income as a lawyer. Gov
Dewey has held public positions
with comparatively low salaries
during most OF his adult life.
The story said that the Gov
ernor could not reasonably ex-
pect consideration at the 1881
convention. Nor could he be ex-
pected to drop his own ambition
to be President"
The Princeton lectures will be
sponsored by the universities
Woodrow Wilson School of Pub
lie and International Affairs. The |
subject of the first two Dewey
talks will be can the American
system preserve freedom in a So
cialist world"
At Albany. James c. Hagerty
the Governors press secretary,
replied mo comment" when ques-
toned about the Times predic-
ton that Gov. Dewey would retire
temporarily from public life or the
report that the Governor would
appoint Mr.. Breitel to the State
Supreme Court. !
