BON DIABLE NAMED
GRAND CHAMPION
Mrs. Whitney’s Handsome
Gray Also Snares $500
Hunter Stake.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, JR.
Mrs. John Hay Whitney’s Bon
Diable, the most versatile hunter in
her extensive string, won the grand
championship of the National Capital
Horse Show at Bradley Farms yester
day afternoon as the exhibition came
to a close before 3,500 spectators.
The Spring fever that seized most
of the crowd at this picturesque plant
evidently did not touch Bon Diable
at any stage of the game yesterday,
for the handsome gray snared the
(500 hunter stake with a beautiful
performance, was second in the ladles’
hunter class and Joined his stable
mates, Two Leggins and Gray Knight,
in winning the hunt team division,
bitterly contested by five other com
binations.
Throughout the three days Bon
Diable had been foremost in the
salient attack which earned the mis
tress of Llangollen Farm 23 ribbons,
11 of them blues. He also had de
feated all comers in the thoroughbred
hunter test and the class for qualified
or green middle and heavyweight
horses. For good measure he carried
off second in the Corinthian, second
among the model hunters and fourth
In the hunter hacks.
Whitney Horses Make Sweep.
The Whitney horses made a clean
sweep of the championship awards
here. Bon Dlable was the best middle
or heavyweight hunter, with Kin
prillls reserve, and Two Leggins and
Cypress dea Beau were rated In that
order among the top lightweights.
Victory in the important hunt teams
was certainly no novelty for Mrs.
Whitney. She has won that vivid
pageant of the tanbark at every Na
tional Capital since she first began
to show her horses around this cir
cuit. The powerful trio likewise has
served her well in significant shows
all over the country.
Second to Don Diable's stake tri
umph was Mrs. R. Curzon Hoffman's
Allston. the sensation of the early
days. Allston was In rare form again
this afternoon, fencing beautifully to
cinch the $100 second price.
Miss Helen Bedford, daughter of
a noted Connecticut sporting family,
showed the way to youngsters, griz
zled veterans and skilled Army offi
cers alike In the $500 stake for open
jumpers. Astride Musketeer, which
she owns with her sister Ruth, she
made a magnificent round of the
trying course, hanging up a score not
even the Fort Myer horse show team
or the old stager, Danny Shea, could
touch.
Firenze Marokan Wins.
The third stake event of the day,
t sweepstakes for working hunters,
went to Mrs. M. Robert Guggenheim’s
Firenze Marokan. which had led her
well-stocked stable in winning a total
of 14 ribbons since Thursday. Miss
Elizabeth Nolting’s Impulse, a cast
off from the J. J. Cotter stables, was
second, incidentally placing ahead of
the Cotter’s preferred Rocksie, which
was fourth.
The saddle horse honors of the
meeting remained unchanged to the
end, Russell Law’s Chesapeake and
Miss Marjorie Lee McLeod’s Gulf
Breeze winding up their every meet
ing in that order, up to and Including
the saddler championship.
Young Stanley Greene, 2d, of
Leesburg dominated the chlldren’6
classes, which occupied most of the
morning on the final day. After nu
merous jump-offs he won the pony
sweepstakes and likewise added a few
new horsemanship trophies to his
collection by beating the field in seat
and hands classes. The second most
prominent Juvenile was Robert Pal
mer of Barcroft, Va., whose Busy Bee
always pressed and occasionally de
feated Gieene’s noted Queen of
Sheba.

Dennis Chavez, who served In two
Democratic Houses, was lifted today
Into the Senate seat of his political
enemy, the late Senator Bronson Cut
ting, independent Republican and
occasional critic of the administra
tion.
Chavez, 47 years old, accepted an
appointment tendered by Gov. Clyde

chair until 1936 and announced he
will drop his contest of the election

November. He had disputed the
1,200-vote majority tor Cutting.

In 1936, Chavez said, he will be a
candidate to fill the remainer of Cut
ting’s term, which expires in 1940.
The Governor, running mate with
Chavez on the Democratic ticket in
the last election, said Chavez was "a
natural selection” to fill the vacancy
caused by Senator Cuttings death In
an airplane accident last week.
The new Senator will give the
Democrats 69 seats In the Senate,
five more than two-thirds of the en
tire membership, and will reduce Re
publican membership to 24, Its lowest
in more than 50 years.

Bonus advocates claimed the ap
pointment added one more vote to
their list of those who will vote to
override the President’s contemplated
veto of the Patman bill even though
the Governor described his appointee
as "whole-heartedly a supporter of
President Roosevelt's program.”
Chavez Is an ardent supporter of
the New Deal policies and says, with
pride, that he has the viewpoint of
the "average man.”

MELLEN ATTACKS
New York Republican Calls
on President to End
“Experimentation.”
By the Associated Press.
SARATOGA SPRINOS, N. Y., May
11.—Chase Mellen. Jr, New York
County Republican Committee chair
man, in a speech prepared for de
livery at a G. O. P. meeting tonight
called on President Roosevelt to aban
don his “sophomore experimentation
and Barnum and Bailey press
agentry,” and return to the 1932 Dem
ocratic platform upon which he was
elected.
“We have had enough chapters
from ‘Alice in Wonderland’ translated
by the Roosevelt administration into
a burlesque of orderly Government.”
he said. “We have had about all we
can stand of ‘Roosevelt charm,' fire
side talks and ‘prop’ smiles.”
Mellen was the principal speaker
at a meeting of Young Republican
Clubs of Eastern New York, gathered
to map the strategy of the G. O P.
campaign to regain control of the
New York \ssembly this Fall.
The youthful New Yorker, who has
been making a tour of the State ap
pealing for solidification of Repub
lican party opinion, termed the Presi
dent "the greatest lobbyist of all
known lobbyists.”
“He attains his aims in devious
ways,” he asserted. “First, he turns
on the charm tap. When this be
comes boresome, and faithful follow
ers stray as a result of protests from
back home, he stops the patronage;
if this doesn’t prove effective, the re
calcitrant suddenly finds himself fac
ing a loss of power both in Congress
and in his home State.”
Huey Long, he said, is one of the
few, “clown though he may be,” who
has been “ wily enough to put the
President on the defensive and keep
him there.”
“Carter Glass also has been a thorn
in his side,” Mellen added, “being a
statesman of a distinguished record
and great intelligence.”
