In the Hunt Country
Activities Among the Horse-Lovers of
Virginia and Maryland.
BY NINA CARTER TABB.
RIGHT yellow circles and bor
ders of jonquils, blooming
forsythia bushes banked
against stone walls and the
green grass of the Glenwood course
at Middleburg called for warm sun
shine on Saturday. But dark clouds
hung over the Blue Ridge Mountains,
the wind was raw and cold and there
were flurries of snow. So only the
hardiest of horse lovers stayed to see
all of the six races of the Middleburg
Hunt race meeting.
There were about 6,000 spectators
on hand for the opening race, but
after the second, the feature race of
the day, the Middleburg Cup, many
Just couldn’t "take It,” and left or
went and sat in closed cars. A few
didn’t seem to mind the cold and stood
on the hillside to watch the best card
of race* ever held there.
The Middleburg Cup was exciting to
watch, as you couldn’t tell which of
the two leading horses would win until
they were over the last fence. First
one and then the other took the lead
as they circled the 4-mile course.
Jack Skinner, riding Welboume Jake,
owned by Paul Mellon, came in to
win just ahead of Bobby Davis on
Indigo, owned by John Schiff. George
Ohrstrom's Nicias was third.
The Rose Hill, the other timber
race, was won by Frost Cake, owned
by Robert Young, trained by Jack
Bkinner and given a wonderful ride
by Randy Duffey. Gerard Smith’s
Sun Faun, trained by Arthur White
and ridden by Louie Stoddard, was
second, and Gerard Warburg’s Infla
tion, trained by Turner Wiltshire
end ridden by James McCormick, was
third.
Jack Skinner, riding Freddy War
burg’s Dual Control, had the only
accident of the day in this race, fall
ing and Injuring his shoulder. He
was taken to Winchester Hospital in
an ambulance for treatment.
Jim Ryan had three of his horses
In training win, Mrs. Lewis A. Park’s
Royal Thomas winning the opening
race over hurdles: Donald Ross’ Ra
dient Rowley winning the William
Skinner Memorial, the third event,
2tj miles over brush, and J. C. Brady,
jr.’s Crooning Water, ridden by Sid
ney Watters, winning the Loudoun
Plate, fifth race, 2 miles over brush.
rT,HE last race of the day was the
most exciting Not more than a
thousand seasoned sportsmen were
left to see George Garrett’s entry,
Bonnie Chatter, trained by Dion Kerr
and ridden by Mike Kerr, come romp
ing home in front of 11 entries in
the Three Oaks, a mile on the flat.
Bonnie Chatter, by Chatterton
Bonnie Mom, is a bay mare well
known in the hunting field, but this
wras her first race. She is owned and
has been ridden to hounds by Miss
Emily North King of Warrenton,
and it was hard to tell which was
the most excited—George Garrett of
Washington, starting the racing game
for the first time this season, having
his entry win sensationally, or Miss
King seeing her hunter win her first
race.
Every one trying to get a warm fire
side, made the race of getting away
from the course, a hard one to win.
Good cheer and hospitality was wait
ing at many a household. Mrs. Ray
mond Belmont and Miss Winnifred
Maddux were entertaining and their
house was soon filled with guests. Mrs.
Amory Perkins, Mr. and Mrs. Oliver
Iselin and Miss Charlotte Noland had
many to stop in, as did the Frosts and
Sands. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Skinner
gave a delightful party with delicious
food and drinks. Jack got back from
the hospital in the midst of the excite
ment and was surrounded by the
Jockeys as he explained his fall and
Injury. Another gay party was given
by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Llewellyns.
Many dinner parties were given for
visitors that night. Mrs. Henry T.
Oxnard entertained for her son-in-law
and daughter, Baron and Baroness
D'Epremesnil. Among the guests were
Mr. and Mrs. Houghton Metcalf and
their house guests, Mr. and Mrs.
Merryman of Providence, R. I.; Mr.
and Mrs. Charles Baird, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Cushman, Mrs. Crosby Miller,
Mrs. Ayres Starr, and her guest, Miss
Martha Wilson of England, Miss Win
nifred Maddux, George Burwell, Prank
