the saddlemen here is far
down the list Of individual
stars. George Morris of the
United States now has %
points, Sinjon's win having
moved him up to a tie with
Canada's Tom Gaylord. Hugh
Wiley is in the third spot with
rs points. Ringrose holds IL.
For Virginia and Maryland
horsemen, the day starts on the
right note this afternoon with
an important. conformation
hunter trophy. the William
Wharton Memorial, which was
won last season by Mrs. A. C.
Randolph's Black Atom. The
$4,000 Working Hunter Stake
opens the night session.
Challenge Offered
Tonight the Individual Cham
pionship Trophy will challenge
the talents Of the United States
squad, now holding two legs OF
the three necessary to retire it,
and will give the Irish, Mexican
and Canadian teams a chance
to earn a second leg. The Vene-
zuelan squad has yet to gain a
hold on this one.
So far the Virginia and Mary
land hunters have made a very
mild dent here. While the in
evitable conformation hunter
champion. Mrs. ]. Deane Ruck-
er's Cold Climate. is trained by
Jack Payne Of Virginia, the
horse technically is a Detroit
entry. At this point, he seems
to have the eye Of A. Carroll
Curran of Maryland and Daniel
Conway Of Oswego. N. Y, the
judges.
Cold Climate Ahead
Unquestionably he has 14h
points. or more than twice as
much as his nearest COMPETE
tors-both Of them horses from
the stable Of Miss E. r. Sears,
who lives in Massachusetts, and
breeds and stables horses in
Virginia.
Mrs. Sears hopes are pinned
on Pixies Peak and Irish Port,
each with Z points to date.
Billy. Haggard of Tennessee
who earned honors at the
Washington International, is
again doing reasonably we'll
with Bold Minstrel, but he is
fourth down the conformation
list.
Only one hunter division has
been wrapped up, in that one
the Kimberton Hills Farm of
Pennsylvania rolled up 1872
points with Air Dome to best
Mrs. Winstone Guests Miracle
Day, a 12-point winner.
Virginian by Proxy
Among the green conforma-
ton horses Miracle Day is per-
haps a Virginian by proxy,
since Mrs. Guest has a house
and a trainer there, but her
own address is New York. It
seems that the so-called Vir-
ginia horses here merely had
their passports stamped in the
Old Dominion.
AS Of last night, the working
hunter division had not worked
up much steam. The leader
Mysterious. owned by Christie
a total of 8
points with several classes to
go. For that matter, there are
still four conformation hunter
classes on the slate. and Mrs.
A. c. Randolph's Black Atom,
the John Petitioners Warfare
or some of the other Washing
ton Virginia Maryland hope
fuls may yet warm to their
work. But it is a cold climate
for hunters around here.
