Fred Hughes
Bon Bon Wins
In Iron Bridge
By ANNE CHRISTMAS

Compared with other years,
during which they spent 30-odd
week ends on the Maryland cir
cult in quest of championship
points, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred j.
Hughes. jr., practically have
given up horse-showing this sea-
son. But today. with the Iron
Bridge Hunt championships safe
ly slowed in their tack room,
this Potomac Md family can
look back on a week end of pure
entertainment at the "just for
fun" horse show yesterday at
Burtonsville, Md.
And not only did they win the
title with Bon Bon. their little
gray, but Mrs. Hughes also can
boast that she has found a sure
cure for her husbands seasonal
attack Of hayfever. While he was
having a tremendous sneezing fit
yesterday afternoon, his wife
sneaked of to the entry clerk
and entered Bon Bon in the
working hunters class with none
other than Hughes as the rider.
Although he weighs 100 pounds
and therefore never had shown
the miniature Bon Bon before,
he blew his nose a couple of
times. gamely climbed aboard
and won the class.
In reserve, behind Bon Bon's
9la points, was Luther Shop
herds Chal Night with 712. The
reserve winner took the working
hunter hacks and the working
hunters under saddle.
Among the juniors, Bobbie
Gardner rode A. S. Dailey's
young mare, Warnita, to the title
over High Girl, Whitney Aitche-
sons gray which was ridden by
Richard Zimmerman.
Richard, whose family lives
directly across the highway from
the show grounds, also owned
the pony champion, the veteran
Pinnochio. which stayed in the
ribbons throughout the day to
outpoint Trinket. owned by
Thomas Zibelli and ridden by
Robin Hughes 10-year-old
daughter.
The host hunt, which gives
this show every Labor Day purely
for the entertainment of riders
and onlookers. enjoyed one of its
most successful holiday perform
ances with 30-odd horses appear
ing IN many of the classes. The
junior division was particularly
well-filled. and there were more
than enough ponies for the
classes allotted them.
Highlights of the day was
the "old guards" horsemanship,
for riders over 40, which went
to Iron Bridge master, Whitney
Aitcheson. He also won the tro-
ply given in memory of DR.. Kate
Karpeles, limited to Iron Bridge
members. with High Girl.
