In National
Horse Show
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS


NEW YORK, Nov. Ire
lands riders came to life yes
terday like the black and tan
hounds at the scent of a fox,
winning a first and second in
the opening international class
as the 18th National Horse
Show started its eight-day run
in Madison Square Garden.
Capt. W. A. Ringrose and his
rangy Lochan Easpaig Gake
in the willows thrilled the
opening night crowd with a
three-second margin of victory
in the Democrat" Memorial
Trophy competition, in which
all three of the United States
horSemen struck out. Mexico
picked up the second, third and
fourth ribbons.
|. Earlier in the day, Capt.
Ringrose was second in the
West Point Challenge Trophy,
won by the Argentine eques-
trian squads Maliaro, handled
by DR.. Hugo M. Arrambide.
ChapOt Comes Close
The Democrat course is a
fault-and-out affair, with
fences closely placed for tight
turns and sharp angles. After
teammates Kathy Kusner of
Arlington, Va, and william
SteinkrauS had been eliminated,
Frank Chapot came out aboard
Diamant in the colors of the
United States equestrian team
as anchor man in the long line
Of riders representing Canada,
Argentina. Mexico, Ireland and
the home country.
With Ringrose and the three
Mexicans holding perfect scores
and low time totals, Chapot
went for broke on Diamant.
Each time Diamant cleared a
fence, Chapot whirled him
about with a stride for take-off
and lunged at the next fence
Seven times he made it as the
crowd tension sWelled like a hot
mushroom. At the final triple
bar Chapot was all out, fling
ing himself forward-but Dia-
mant stood rooted in refusal.
Chapot spun out of the saddle
and landed between poles, on
his feet and out Of the running.
