In the Hunt Country Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of Virginia and Maryland. BY NINA CARTER TABB. HE annual horse show at Fox croft today will draw a crowd of prominent sportsmen. This show, which is run by the girls of the school, assisted by Miss Char lotte Noland, is one of the best days of sport we have in Virginia. The neighborhood is filled with parents from all parts of the country who have come to see their daughters ride. Alumnae come back each year to watch the progress of the younger girls and many of them take part in the program. The Davis Challenge Cup, in which only the alumnae can compete, is always an interesting class. Those riding for It this after noon will be Mrs. William Beverley Mason, jr., formerly Miss Dorothy Willing Randolph, one of the most noted Virginia riders in the show ring and the hunting field: Mrs. Barney Balding, formerly Miss “Dot” Davis of New York, who won the cup last year; Miss Helen Bedford, who has been a sensation in the show ring for the last three days at the National Cap ital Horse Show, where she has taken ribbon after ribbon with her string of five show horses, among the most noted being Woodfellow Grayarno and Musketeer. Others riding for the Davis Cup will be Miss Mary Hotchkiss, Miss Teresa Shook, Miss Frances Frick, Miss Ruth Bedford. Miss Sheila Potter. Miss Genevieve Brady, Miss Mary Richard son, Miss June Hanes. Miss Sally Mc Adoo, Miss Laura Sprague, and as there will be post entries undoubtedly a good many more will come in to make this a very interesting class. Many of America’s prominent young matrons and girls attended this school and come back annually to ride in the horse show. * * * * Foxrroft is among the leading schools for young ladies in America and its student body includes many socially prominent members from all parts of the country. The "Wop" Club class ridden over the Italian course is another inter esting class, the girls ride with the forward seat, which was taught to Miss Macubbin and Miss Sprague, teachers of riding at the school, by Capt. Pietro S&ntlni. formerly in the Italian cavalry. In the pony classes for children little Miss Ann Clay Bayly showed the Foxcroft ponies at the National Show on Saturday, as well as her own with such marked success, will have her string and many more of Virginia’s good riders will be showing. Although most of the classes are for the girls at the school, there are several classes for outsiders. A large tent has been put up on the lawn near the show grounds. Two horsemen are coming from Baltimore to judge the show. Two old Foxcroft girls from Washington who will at tend are Mrs. Sam Beach, who was Miss Elizabeth Kemp of Middleburg, and Miss Kathrine Snyder. The lat ter’s marriage to Mr. Richard Shands of Washington will take place in Washington on Thursday. Their wedding is of great interest in this part of Virginia, where Miss Snyder and Mr. Shands have visited for years. Many of their friends from here will go to Washington for the wedding. * * * * The National Capital horse show was very successful, well managed and enjoyed by all those who attended it. One of the judges said last night that •‘the old horse, Red Tape, never looked better or was in better shape for showing than he la now. This eon of Light Brigade-Peraian Maid was the outstanding winner of the three day show. But the young horse— Woodfellow, by Playfellow-Rappa dowa—is going to be unbeatable in a couple of years If he goes on as he has started. I would rather have him than any horse in the show." Red Tape Is owned by Mrs. Robert Guggenheim and Woodfellow by Miss Helen Bedford of Connecticut. Still another good horseman says “the chestnut 4-year-old gelding—Report, by Repulse-Prim Rose—owned by Roger Bayly, was the best-looking and outstanding horse of the Washington Horse Show.” - Others say that they like best Sand Man and Sandden, owned by Mrs. Augustus and ridden by Mrs. Cary Jackson.
