From Admirers

NEUSS, Germany. June 20 (E1.
British Group Capt. Peter
Townsend finished second in an
amateur horse race here yester-
day and afterward was mobbed
by feminine admirers seeking
autographs.
Capt. Townsend, whose name
has been linked Economically
with Britain's Princess Mar
garet, rode his first race at a
German track and placed two
lengths behind the winner.
His appearance caused consid-
cradle excitement here as the
Princess is a favorite of the
German public. He seemed to
draw more attention than the
racing on the Rhineland track.
A crowd of young women
pushed forward with pleas for
autographs. Capt. Townsend
signed two or three pieces of
paper thrust at him, then smil-
ingIy waved the others away.
But his admirers were not cas-
lily put off. In the end, police
had to clear a way for him so he
could get from the paddock to
