In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. . - NS BY NINA CARTER TABB. OME of the highlights of the Warrenton Horse Show seem to justify further mention. The show started off with a downpour the first day, which kept | every one away excepf the “horse show Sals and Sams,” who really love horses. The second morning (Sat- urday) it was still raining, but a lovely afternoon brought out thou- sands from nearby and it was a grand | horse show with the best classes of horses I have seen for a long time. Llangollen Farm, Mrs. John Hay Whitney's entries, carried off the largest number of honors of the show. Her string won 10 blues, 7 seconds, & third, a fourth, lightweight cham- pionship, reserve and grand hunter championships of the show. Spring Hope, a_beautiful bay mare, got the latter, having won ladies’ hunter, lightweight hunters, the $300 hunter stake. the Corinthian class; was sec- ond in lightweight qualified hunters and second in model hunters. Mr. U. S. Randall of Washington was winner of three blues, two sec- onds, two thirds and won middle- weight hunter championship with Claws. Mr. Randall's Randall's Pride (by Out the Way), a 6-year-old black gelding, is a joy to see in the ring. Ray S. Shumaker of Harrisburg, Pa., had his grand young horse Our Way there and won four blues. a second and was fourth in model hunters. Mr. Shumaker also won a blue in half- bred yearlings with Red Light. E. Carlton Eacho of Washington won a first and a fourth with his noted house Drill, and won the heavy-weight championship. Mr. FEacho's horse Home Maker was second in thorough- bred 3-year-olds and third in model hunters. * % ok % Fenton Fadeley's Lady Lacquer was 8 sensation the first day of the show, when it won the International Course, over 25 of the best horses in this coun- try and the Mexican team. Lady Lac- quer was third in this same class on the second day of the show. Ernest Redmon of Middleburg, who always has good young horses, won three sec- onds, three thirds and got reserve rib- bon to the middle-weight champion. Every one was delighted that North Fletcher, secretary of the show, won | two blues and reserve for heavy-weight hunters with Hunder Dan. Peach Brothers of Upperville won a blue, a second and two third ribbons. The Robert Winmill family won first, sec- ond and third in thoroughbred brood mares with foal. The Mexican team on the second day won first and second over the international course. The jumping of their horses thrilled the spectators, especially on Saturdav when all of their horses seemed to be in great form. C. Emery Galleher's Apply Jack won the very good open jump- ing class. Miss Margaret Cotter, rid- | ing Rocksie, got much applause as| she won fourth in the ingernational | class on Saturday. Mrs. Dorcthy N. Lee won second in the famous Corin- thian class with Scout, which was ridden by Miss Emily North King. Mrs. Lee's Hunt Team won third. Riticor brothers’ Spring Miss was sec- ond in the $300 hunter stake class and won two third ribbons. Miss | Elizabeth Nesbit got a second and third ribbon with Squiffy. Morfis S. Clark got second in open jumper with Strong, Fellow. John Alexander of Leesburg was third in the $200 hunter stake with Vagabond King. Miss Bettina Belmont rode beauti- fully in the show and won two chirds with her hourse Maenard. She ulso rode some of Mrs. Whitney's horses to victory in different classes. * K K X Miss Betty Couzens of Washington | won second in light-weight green hunt- ers with Repulsion.

Allen won third in mid- dle-weight green hunters ahd fourth in light-weight hunters with Royal ‘Wonder and Clifton's Lad.
