The touch-and-out class also has many entries. A silver challenge bowl will be given in this class by W. R. Cummings of Rhode Island in mem- ory of the late Luther Tucker of Albany, N. Y., one of his 1934 class- mates, who was killed in an automo- bile accident near Warrenton last The alumni compete for a silver challenge bowl given by Jimmy Town- send in memory of Temple Gwathmey, jr., who was & student at Stuyvesant. Many of the old Stuyvesant boys return each year for the horse show. | Some have had scarcely a chance to | ride since leaving school, but they are | game and ride very well against more fortunate classmates who have stayed in the country and can ride daily. In the silver spurs class, Mr. and winner, who throughout the year must THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1937. have ridden regularly at school, hunted with Warrenton Hounds, showed the greatest boldness and courtesy in the field and passed a written examination on the selection of a hunter, care of horses and stable management. Among the outstanding junior horsemen of Stuyvesant School are Billy Hulbers, jr.; Clark Baldwin, jr.; Jackie Lake, Peter Hoguet and Bryant Henderson. Show judges will be Mrs. Cary Jack- son of Keswick, Va., and Bruce Jenkins of Connecticut. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin King and Miss Emily North King are entertaining at luncheon on Friday for the officials, judges, ex- hibitors and a number of friends. THE Virginia Gold Cup race Satur- day promises to be more interest- ing than in any other year. Welbourne Jake, winner of last Saturday's Mary- land Hunt Cup and two other im- portant races this year, will run, and there are eight other entries to date and may be more by Saturday. Among the parties to be given in Warrenton is a dance at the Country Club Saturday night that is to be managed by Harriet and Chaffraix Lelong. Chauncey Brown’s Orchestra will furnish the music. Chapperones will be Mrs. Alexander Duer, Mrs, Davenport Blackwell and Mrs. 8. J. Macy. At North Wales Club there will be a dinner dance or hunt ball that night by invitation of the following committee: Mrs. Amory Carhart, Mrs. George Cutting, Mrs. Alexander Hag- ner, Mrs. Edwin King, Mrs. Sterling Larrabee, Mrs. W. Harry Pool, Mrs. George Sloane, Mrs. William Streett and Mrs, Robert Winmill. Reflecting the Nation-wide trend away from all timber racing except the established cup classics, the Vir- ginia Gold Cup Association this year has replaced two former timber races with hurdle events and added a third hurdle test to the program to be run on the Broadview estate of Alex- ander B. Hagner. The Agricultural Purse, once a post and rail test for farmers' horses, has been changed to a 13 -mile hurdle race. The Warrenton Hunt Cup, for- merly a 3-mile timber affair for maidens and winners of one race, is to be replaced by a 1'2-mile hurdle race of the same name this year, with a purse of $500 offered. The third hurdle event is to be the Fauquier Plate of 1% miles, for maidens and winners of one, with a purse of $300. Rapidly decreasing entry lists in all but the most important timber races, such as the Carolina Cup, the Mary- land Hunt Cup, the Virginia Gold Cup and the Meadowbrook Cup, have indicated to race committees in recent years that owners found racing over post and rail fences at high speed too severe a tes? for any but the best Jumpers. Subsequently, many committees sub- stituted hurdle races on their sched- ules and eliminated minor timber races. The hurdle events, long popu- lar in English hunt racing, at once drew large flelds and proved an im- mediate success here with both own- ers and spectators, the combination to be satisfied before any meeting can succeed.
