B—4 xx Horse Show Plans Are Advanced European Entries ‘Are on Way To Capital. ITH a European military horse show team coming to Washington to compete for the first time in the in- ternational military team jumping event, the high spot of the Inter- American Horse Show, scheduled for October 21-24, every one in town— diplomats, officials, society in general, ell those who love to watch good riders and highly tr; d horses in action— are looking forward to this outdoor event, the only one of its kind in the country. Four days ago, eight Belgian horses sailed from London, carefully guarded by four orderlies. Today the four offi- Ccers comprising the team, Capt. Comd. Chevalier de Menten de Horne, Lieut. Paul Mondron and Lieut. Van Stry- donck, all of the regiment of Guides, and Lieut. Poswick, regiment of Lan- | cers, sailed from Le Havre. By the time they arrive in Washington their mounts will have their “land legs” and be ready for daily schooling over the Intricate courses at Meadowbrook. ‘Those who attended the horse show last year will recall that seats were at & premium on Saturday and Sunday. Maj. Frank L. Whittaker, manager of the show, is all prepared for a record attendance this year, especially as the | Interest in the forthcoming meet seems to prophesy an even greater crowd of spectators to watch the Brigian and United States Army teams fight it out. They competed at Olvmpia in London last May, the Belgians with a higher record of points than the Amer- ican team. Later, at Aachen, Ger- many, the American team reversed the proceeding and placed ahead of the | Belgian four. So the forthcoming | meet is by wav of being a “rubber ' game.” Boxes—at least the choice or are | going fast. The Belgian Ambassador and Countess Van der Straten-Ponthoz have a box and will be present to watch the jumping contest. Col. Jonathan M. Wainwright, commanding officer at | Fort Myer, will accupy a box near those of the officers and directors of | the show Others who have already made reservations include the Italian Am- bassador and Donna Matilde de Buvich, the Cuban Ambaszador, Senor Dr. Pedro Mart aga. the German Ambascador Hans Heinrich and Mrs Rebert Wonds Edward Beale McLean, Mr. ne, Mr. and Mrs. Louis G Caldwell, Dr. and Mrs. James Alex- ander Lyon. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Chiswell and Mrs. Thomas R. Cowell, Officers and members of the Execu- tive Committee of the horse show have | designated Thursday. the opening day, 8s Army day. The Secretary of War, Harry H. Woodring. will be the honor guest on that day and receive the color salute. Gov. George Peerv of Virginia, unable to come to the show | on his State day, Friday, is designating | an official to represent him Gov Harry Nice will be the guest of honor on Saturday, Maryland day, and the closing , day, Sundav, Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen will be honored.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1937. BY NINA CARTER TABB. HE Farminglon Club Horse Show Saturday was one of the most enjoyable sporting events of the season and the setting couldn't have been more beautiful. Open boxes and stands, built beneath the spreading branches of large oak trees encircling one side of the ring, made a wonderful .place for spectators to sit while they watched the horses compete for lovely silver trophies. The master of the Farmington Hunt and Horse Show officials must have been gratified by the success of their fifth annual exhibition. The horses were of the best and the spectators made one of the smartest gatherings I have seen for some time. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., occupied one of the front boxes and were of interest to every one there. They picnicked in the woods with friends and seemed to enjoy the show enormously. They are exceed- ingly glad to be in the quiet and in- formal atmosphere of the University of Virginia, seeing friends among friends in an inconspicuous manner, The young Roosevelts sat all day seeing class after class, staying until dusk was beginning to fall. They are. planning to attend the Warrenton Horse Show next Saturday on their way up to Washington. A box will be | reserved for them by the Horse Show Committee, who will welcome them to their show with great pleasure. Warrenton boasts one of the largest and best hunter shows in America. The dates for the two-day event are next Friday and Saturday. Liz Whitney was seen in the show ring at Farmington for the first time this season. She won two blues with her champion mare, Spring Hope. —— | NEW CROP i Eatmor Cranberries [ NOW ON SALE WOoODw 107 ™ F Despite the fact that Mrs. Whitney suffered a crushed toe when a horse stepped on her foot and has been out of the saddle for some time and has spent six months in Hollywood, her riding seemed better than ever.
