Spring and Worthington Val- leys of Maryland tomorrow, is to America what the Grand National is to England. I have heard riders who have ridden in both races say that they would rather take their chances on winning the Grand Na- tional than the Maryland Hunt Cup. A rider can get through the brush fences of the English race, but if he hits one of the solid timber fences of the Maryland Hunt Cup he is more than likely to go down There are 17 entries for the Mary- land race today, but it is not known how many scratches there will be by tomorrow. Inshore, the big bay thor- oughbred owned by J. W. Y. Martin and trained by Frank A. Bonsal, jr., is to be riden by Henry Frost, jr., of Middleburg. Inshore won the race last year and will be the favorite if he starts. He was victorious in a thrilling steeplechase last Spring and won the Grand National in } and last Sat- urday. But his trainer, Frank Bon- today that u s he con- HE Maryland Hunt Cup Steeple- | I chase, to be run in the Green | e horse as “fit as a fiddle” to- | ow he won't send him to the post. Today “Downy” is a little doubtful as to what Inshore's condition will be. Jack Skinner won't be able to ride Welbourne ke, Paul Mellon's horse, which won both the Deep Run Cup in Richmond and the Middleburg Cup this month, on account of a broken oulder. In addition, his substitute, dv Duffey, can't be up on ac- count of a broken wrist received at the Middleburg meeting. So Paul Mel- lon is bringing down J. S. Harrison of Philadelphia to ride Welbourne Jake tomorrow "I HE recent rains have put the Mary- land green turf course in the best condition possible.

There is a land- ing field nearby. and many will fly in from New York and the West. To my mind, there is never a more beau- tiful sight than thousands of gayly dressed people standing on the hillside of the Heizers’ place (which forms a wonderful natural grandstand), look- ing out over the green grass course where the steeplechase is run When brought to the paddock, the thoroughbreds are soon surrounded by more thousands of people as they pa- rade around and around.

Exclamations and gasps of | excitement can be heard continuously during the period of less than 10 | minutes that it takes to circle the | course three times in the 4-mile Hunt | Cup event. Then, as the first horse crosses the finish line, bedlam breaks loose. The mad crowd yells and ap- plauds. for no matter which horse and rider wins, they are the heroes of the day to the devotees of the sport of Kings.
