Consequently, no horses went at jumps last night because they could not escape from fense-wing Some ran out and took the easy way over the side bars. but the best showed their essential willing- ness and headed hard at the barriers, wing or no wing. In the touch-and-out division, where a triple bar and a difficult stone wall were included, there was but one clean performance—that made by the Fort Myer team's Temptation under a splen- did ride by Lieut. Charles Noble The new judging system introduced yesterday proved eminently successful. One man, invited because of his famil- iarity with a particular type, officiated in each class, and the decisions were therefore unaffected by judgments de- clared in previous classes Life of Riley, a spirited young hunter, made a valiant effort to kick a judge just as he was awarding the cup and blue ribbon to Keanakolu, owned by Maj George S. Patton, jr.. in the ladies’ hunter class. Life of Riley took the red ribbon.

The park hack division brought out an unusual number of competitors, | which were narrowed down to Vernon Owen’s Harriett Lee, tRe winner, Mrs J. D. Patch’s Bally Forest, second and Meade Palmer’s Rule Britannia, thira. Officers’ chargers in the next divi- sion showed results of patient school- ing although one of the entries refused the brush jump, each time stopping to nibble. Maj.
