Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1951-09-13

seen Eli Leishear show his white
stallion and hear Dick Janney care
fully explain which was the horse
and which was Eli?
There's one thing which has not
changed = Dicks flow of chatter
and his apt remarks keep the
crowd amused during dull moments
and make the show like no other.
A highlight of the day came dur
ing the parade when all directors,
past and present, We're driven
around the ring in a two horse
wagon and later photographed.
There's Elsie" said Mahlon Kirk,
nudging Robert H. Miller, Jr., sec
rotary of the show. MAKE this
good story" shouted Bob. We do
not dare try to name all the direc-
tors-we'd be sure to leave some
out. We will let a news story take
care of the show while we visit
around the ring.
Mahlon later told US that his
wife, Eleanor, who is the Sentinel
correspondent for Sandy Spring
neighborhood, would soon be back
from a trip to Europe. Deb Id
dings Wilson did a good job SUBJ
shutting. Eleanor will probably
have some tall tales to tell-seems
she stood the rough crossing well,
despite the antics of the 1,020-foot
Queen Mary, which was said to
have stood on her head at times.
Around the ring we encountered
John E. Muncaster, Sr. our 49,
year-old friend since Muncaster's
Mill days; George Wilson, Sr. who
is even older than Mr.. Muncaster,
was also enjoying the brightness of
the day and the good horses being
shown. We saw so many members
of the Howes family that we Won
dered just how many descendants
of the three borthers of Revolu
tionary days, John, James and
Capt. Edward, there are in this
county, despite the fact that many
of them went west before Civil
War days.
For lunch-always an important
part of the show-we were one of
those served a buffet meal from
the deck of Mary Mitchell's car.
Her husband, DR.. Harold Mitchell,
who heads the school medical divi-
sion under Public Health, was busy
elsewhere. Other guests were
newsman John Keats washington
News), his wife, and children who
purchased the home of Mrs. Char
les Beall, in Woodfield; also Peg
MacGregor, staff member of the
Health Department, who told us
she had bought a home in Wash
ington Grove.
We learned from Martha Johns
that her sister Joan is playing a
part in Eddie Dowling's New York
play and understanding a part in
another play, and is "just crazy
about it. 1t is nice that Brooke's
daughters are doing well, but his
friends miss him from the airways.
The GLAND sisters from Laytons-
vile, cute tricks in their riding
clothes, rode in class or two-the
son and daughter of the Warren
Tydings, showed their horses. Both
Stanley Stabler and his son Drew
were showing and there were sew
eral other parent and son or
daughter combinations.
Senator Wayne Morse, of Ore
gon, showing effects of his injuries
at Orkney Spring last month when
he was kicked in the face, won first
place in the fine harness event in
his first appearance since the acct
dent. Later his 16-year-old
daughter rode the high stepping
Morse's Chief to win in the five
gated feature.
Our former neighbors, Gordon
Keys and Mary Cook Stewart, rode
their horses in several classes =
Cookie also showed to good advan-
tage a horse she had not ridden be-
fore. Their mother, Mrs. Robert
Chichester, told Of Gordy's prizes
which he brought home from the
Timonium Fair. Is it possible Cor
dy might beb "Swine King" some
day? We can remember thinking
of him as "a pig" when he raided
our cookie jar in his preschool
days.
Roland White, of Washington,
was having good time talking to
all the Wilson's, Breadys, Kinks and
Barnsleys who came to "White's
Mill" years ago. Just back from
