Special Correspondent Of The star

CHARLES TOWN, W. Va,
Aug. 16.-Baby Girl, q tiny,
black and white mare, won the
pony day" championship of
the Charles Town Horse Show,
which continued today with
draft and thoroughbred classes
in a ring adjoining the race
track.
Baby Girl. owned by Darrell
g. Bachman of Aide, Va,
earned enough points to defeat
two housekeeping saddle ponies
complete with artificial tails
dragging the ground, who had
won most Of the blue ribbons.
Baby Girl herself won no blues,
but under the scoring system
used at this show she still man
aged to win the championship
Reserve went to a gated
pony, Saddle Acres Sharon,
ridden in the saddle classes by
Linda Smith and driven in the
harness class by Barbara Lee
Lester. Both girls are from
near Bel Air, Nd. home Of
Saddle Acres Farm. owned by
Mrs. Jane Clark.
Mrs. Clark's saddle ponies
actually dominated the show,
which attracted far more hunt
er-type mounts than those of
the gated variety. Saddle
Acres Peppitorrente won the
small yearling ponies class;
Saddle Acres Made-to-O Order
took the large yearling event;
Saddle Acres Sharon took the
small pony hacks and Severn
Topper won the single harness
pony, all for the same owner.
One Of yesterdays stars was
3-year-old Hugh Norton, son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ray H. Nor
ton, jr., Of Rockville, Md, who
won the "under-4" leadline
class with Davey Crockett. The
same pony also placed third in
the "4-to-8 years" leadline class
with Hugh's older brother
Glenn.
