Record Rappahannock entries By JUNE RUHSAM RAPPANANNOCK Hunt’s pointto-point races at Thornton Hill Farm near Sperryville have always been a crowd-pleaser, with the wild mountain setting and the unique hound race. But this year they should be better than ever because of the improvements to course and facilities and the alltime record number of entries, which reached 152 at press time before the closing date. Changes in the course will make all fences—including several new ones—visible to the spectators. The road has been widened so that traffic will flow, more easily, and participants will be made especially welcome. According to race chairman Witold Kuncewicz, the trainers and riders will be provided with dressing, restroom and refreshment facilities in a “motor home” adjacent to the paddock, and there will be a water tank for the horses. First of the nine races scheduled for Saturday, February 28, is the pair race with a post time of 11 a.m. Twenty teams from Warrenton, Blue Ridge, Casanova, Marlborough, Farmington, Old Dominion and Rappahannock Hunts have entered so far. Last year’s win ners James Atkins and Wayne Sutphin from the host hunt, will be trying to capture the cup again. Among the more than 20 entered in the Double Gate turf race were several who had run well last week at Casanova, including the winner of the flat race, Jennifer Youngman’s Doc Hepp. Others are Steven Green’s Service’s Image (winner of this race last year) and Reggie Vicker’s Master Chatfield, who both finished fourth in their respective races last Saturday. D. M. Smithwick’s Babeen, J. Arthur Reynold’s Big Boss, Roy Graham’s Balela and Mrs. EmmetSimmon’s Eddie’s Big Gate are among the other promising contenders. MORE than a dozen ladies have entered the Mount Salem, two miles over timber. Patty Cassel who won last week’s ladies’ race with her Never Delay will race again with the third and fourth finishers, Betty Sue Grant on Aladdin Spin and Ann Elgin on Welsh Bard. Giving them good competition will be Wallys Dennis on War Lis, who was second in Casanova’s Foxhunter Plate. Jennifer Youngman on Jo Pat Murphy’s Muzzle Puzzle, and Donna Truslow riding Dr. Joseph Roger’s Virginia Vol Tree seedlings are available The Rappahannock Extension office has ordered 200 Chinese Chestnut seedlings from the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District. These one-year seedlings were selected from the seed stock of several of the best strains of Chinese Chestnuts that were developed over the years at the U.S.D.A. Beltsville Experimental Station. These seedlings will cost 20 cents a piece; there will be a limit of five to a person, on a first call basis. White or pink dogwoods can be ordered by calling the office not later than Thursday, March 4. The dogwoods will be two-three feet tall, bare root trees. The white, dogwoods are approximately $1.50 each and the pink dogwoods approximately $2.30 each; the exact price will depend on shipping cost and the quantity ordered. Call the Extension Office 6753619 by Thursday, March 4, for orders.D Officers serving this year for the Amissville Ruritan Club are H. R. Terhune, president; William Weaver, vice president; Nelson Burner, secretary and Jerry Curtis, treasurer. The Ruritans institute community and patriotic activities which benefit the area substantially. They, in conjunction with the Amissville Fire Company, will sponsor a film to be shown soon at the fire hall. A date will be announced. unteer, are also entered. Others are Sandra Worsham on Tomac, Hallie Woodbury on Texas Brass, and Laurie Haynes with her Wars End. Coming from afar for the open hurdle race are Randy Waterman’s Just Idling, Mike Adam’s Mr. Mountain, James Herbener’s Needaboss and Mrs. Ogden Phippe’s Iron in the Fire. Local entries which should offer good competition are Bill Walsh’s Task Order and Pann Drunagel’s Uncle Stump, which finished second and third in last week’s maiden race. Others from neighboring hunts are Mrs. Robert Clark’s Fools Taxes, Joe Claffy’s Carolina Queen, Jim Magee’s Durroco Kid, Larmonde Stables’ Evergreen and Pete Aylor’s Checkerboard. Fifth race is the Mary D. Slaughter Memorial open timber race. Elzy Brown and Sons’ Miss Cherry, who does well on her home course, is among the many entries. Some other local chasers are Mrs. William Howland’s Kiev’s Lass, Roy Graham’s Boca Bird and Donald Richardson’s I Achieve. IN THE Durant Hill owner-rider hurdle race will be the Elzy Brown’s Polyester, Randall Medd’s Bookbinder, who likes this course, Doug Worrall’s Iron Man’s Orr, a winner at Casanova last week, Randy Waterman’s Toscanini, Charles Ross’ Sagitta, Robby Green’s Madera Dos and several others. The Mount Marshall, gentlemen’s timber race, has among its entries David Semmes’s Nelson, Robert Green’s Charlie Be Good, Pat Mahoney’s Frivolous, Kenneth Embrey’s Timber Topper, Roy Graham’s Boca Bird, John Maloney’s Studley Castle and Thomas Moffett’s Bel Esprit. Randolph Rouse, winner of the owner-rider timber race last week at Casanova, has entered both his Free Movement and Cousin Wes in the eighth race, The Ben Venue timber event for owner-riders. David Semmes’s August Acorn, winner of this race three times and second in last week’s race should be one of the best to run. Some of the other contenders are Randy Waterman’s Ever Dream, Witold Kuncewicz, chairman of the Rappahannock Point-to-Point race committee inspects the new entrance to the race course. Under his direction extensive improvements have been made to the course and grounds. All signals are go for an exciting day Saturday at Thornton Hill Farm south of Sperryville on Route 522 where the races are held annually. Roy Graham’s Boca Bird, Peter Winants’s First Jim, Robert Green’s Prince DeDe, Ernie Oare’s Hall, and Arch Kingsley’s Madagascar.

During the period from March 1 to May 15, it will be unlawful to do any burning within 300 feet of woods or brushland before 4 p.m. This applies to the burning of any trash, brush, leaves, etc., regardless of precautions which may be taken. “It is hoped that Rappahannock County landowners will co-operate in fire prevention efforts. Fire danger is excessive in the spring of the year because of characteristic dry periods, and because of the accumulation of dry vegetation which has died back during the winter,” said Warden C.W. Jenkins. Division of Forestry personnel will be on standby during bad fire weather. Also, forest fire lookout towers will be manned throughout the spring fire season. Escaped fires in Rappahannock County should be reported to Chief Forest Warden C.W. Jenkins (9878837) or County Forester Lyt Wood (672-1252).□

SARAH C LATHAM, Managing Editor Telephone Washington 675-3349 Planning delusion A MEMBER OF THE planning profession stated, in a talk he made recently, the precise reason why we are so wary of “planners” and “plans.” A nationally-known landscape planner was addressing a group in Warrenton on the importance of the proper location of new houses in a landscape, and he ended up with the conclusion: “I could double the population of this county and you wouldn’t be aware of it. They could be tucked in and not be conspicuous as they are now. It makes me so furious to see tacky little houses sitting on the top of little knobs.” That statement sums up so much of what is wrong with planners, in our opinion. They think that if it looks nice, then that’s all there is to it. This gentlemen is not the first member of his profession to state that if it looks good, it’s all right. Well, location of houses is important. “Tacky” structures sitting on knobs are an eyesore. But the planner’s assertion that the population of a rural county could be doubled with no harm, just because the houses are “tucked” out of sight, misses what should be a primary concern. WHETHER the houses were visible or not, their impact would certainly be noticed by everyone—the crowded highways, the crowded schools, the increased tax bills, most likely an increased crime rate, most certainly a shopping center or two, plus an altered lifestyle. Doubling the population of a rural county would eliminate that rural county. It would be an urbanized county. This “out of sight, out of mind” attitude on the part of planners, in our opinion, constitutes one of the most dangerous siren songs the planning profession can sing. It is most certainly not all right just if it’s pretty, not when all those houses mean the destruction of a heritage. As long as planners hold these views, they represent a threat to our rural environment, not an opportunity. No wonder farmers and plain country folk are sometimes apt to look askance at the planners’ lovely visions.□ Social Security rules for earnings explained come,” he noted. “That’s why the work ‘supplemental’ appears in the name of the supplemental security income program. The payments generally are added to other income.” THE Federal payments may be reduced because of income such as social security checks, company pensions, veterans Compensation, or workmen’s compensation. “But the first $20 a month of such income doesn’t count against the supplemental security income payment,” he added. “Also, the first $65 a month in earnings from a job or self employment doesn’t count,” he said. “Supplemental security income payments are reduced by 50 cents for each $T earned over $65 for the month.” A Pooa 9 PEOPLE may have some income and still be eligible for supplemental security income payments, according to Philip E. Bettendorf, social security district manager ^ in Winchester. The supplemental security income program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or over or blind or disabled. “Eligible people with no other income at all can get a Federal supplemental security income payment of as much as $157.70 a month for one person and $236.60 for a couple,” Bettendorf said. “But people with some other income may also be eligible for payments— even though the payment amount may be reduced.” “Most people, including those, in financial need, have some in-' Close-Up The name of John Alexander of Flint Hill was drawn from the correct replies received to the Closeup Contest last week.

By RAP OWINGS Extension Agent, Agriculture RAPP CHATS AREA SHEEP CLINIC—Sheep producers and those interested in exploring the possibilities of raising sheep are invited to the Area Sheep Clinic, Graves Mountain Lodge, Thursday, March 4, noon to 3 p.m. Three of Virginia’s top sheepmen, George Allen, Bill Hess and Bill McClure, will discuss modern sheep production and demonstrate docking, castrating, vaccination, drenching and hoof trimming. The actual program doesn’t start until 1 p.m. but most of us are planning on being there at 12 for a “Dutch Treat” lunch and an informal visit with neighboring sheep producers. If you would like to join us for lunch, please call me by March 3 for reservations. BULL SALE—The 18th Annual BCIA performance tested bull sale will be Friday, March 5, 10 a.m. at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises, four miles south of Culpeper on U.S. Route 29. Eightyeight. Angus, 25 Polled Hereford, two Charolais and three Simmental bulls will be auctioned off to the highest bidders. This sale offers one of the best opportunities in the State to buy a top performing bull, but even if you are not interested in buying a bull, it is a great opportunity to keep up with the beef cattle industry. As usual, some of the top performing bulls are consigned by county cattlemen: Ray Cannon, C.E. Johnson, Jr., Robert Anderson, D.D. Miller & Son, and Randall Updike. BEEF CATTLE REFERENDUM—In order to qualify to vote in this years Beef Cattle Referendum, beef producers must fill in an eligible voter’s certification form and mail it to the Virginia Department of Agriculture by March 19, 1976.

SOIL SAMPLES—We have just received notification that there will be a three to four week delay in receiving soil test results. Soil samples have been arriving at the soil testing laboratory at V.P.I. at the rate of 3,000 per day. □ 3 wrecks reported Trooper J. A. Watson reported three traffic accidents in the past week on Rappahannock roads. Charles William Jenkins of Washington driving a 1973 Ford pickup went up an embankment on Route 626 last Wednesday and his vehicle turned over on its side. He was cited for reckless driving and driving under the influence. Friday on Route 211 and the intersection of Route 1001 in Sperryville two vehicles collided. Involved were Donnie Knight of Luray in a 63 Chevrolet and Nancy R. Trentham of Vienna in a 72 Mercedes. According to Trooper Watson, the Trentham vehicle pulled into the intersection from a stop sign in front of the other driver. She was cited for failing to yield the right of way. The following day on the parking lot of Castleton fire house a 1969 Mercury owned by Mitchell Hitt was parked on the lot when it was struck by a frontend loader, operated by bis step-brotber, Carroll William Frye. No charges were made.D MUSIC PROGRAM Sunday, February 29 the St. Andrews Singers from St. Andrews Episcopal Church in Arlington will be at Trinity Episcopal Church for the 11 a.m. service. They will provide contemporary music. The public is invited. □

Delegate’s report from Richmond By DEL. D. FRENCH SLAUGHTER, JR. THE General Assembly has been voting on a number of controversial^ issues and major problems. The Senate has passed several tax bills relating to taxes on coal, dividends, beer and other alcoholic beverages and commissions for the collection of sales taxes. These bills will have to go through the House Finance Committee and all or a part of these proposals will probably be presented to the House of Delegates next week. The pari-mutuel bill came to the House of Delegates last week and in the form it was reported to the House of Delegates the bill authorized pari-mutuel betting at private race tracks under regulations and supervision of a State Racing Commission subject to the favor able vote of the people in the general election to be held in November, 1976. There has been considerable concern, which 1 share, about the increased criminal activities and opportunity for organized crime if pari-mutuel betting is legalized in Virginia. The Virginia State Crime Commission made a study on this subject in 1973 and they pointed out a number of difficulties and the necessity for the strictest possible control and they also reported that Virginia does not have a state or local law enforcement agency which is capable of policing and controlling a major race track operation. I believe that if we are to have pari-mutuel betting in Virginia the major race tracks at which the pari-mutuel betting is to be held should be owned and operated by the state because of the much more effective control that can be achieved in this way. This his some substantial similarities to the state operation of the Alcoholic Beverage Control system. However, any pari-mutuel legislation should not become law until it has been approved by a favorable vote of the people in a statewide referendum. The pari-mutuel bill before the House of Delegates last week authorized pari-mutuel betting at large privately owned race tracks. I voted against this bill and it was defeated by the House of Delegates. THE Senate has passed a parimutuel bill providing for a referendum on pari-mutuel and additional questions on whether the pari-mutuel race tracks tobeestablished should be privately owned and operated or state owned and operated. This bill may be amended in the House and if it is report ed out of committee I believe it should provide for state ownership and operation subject to a statewide referendum since the House has already rejected the private ownership and operation. The malpractice problem'''for physicians and hospitals will be the subject of legislation by this session of the General Assembly. I believe it is very important to pass some legislation which will enable physicians and hospitals to obtain malpractice insurance at reasonable rates and eventually this will probably have to include some limitation on the amount of recovery in malpractice suits. The Attorney General has advised that such a limitation would be unconstitutional but the legislature needs to resolve this question. Next week I will have another legislative report. Record crowd enjoys Casanom races By JUNE RUHSAM CASANOVA Hunt opened the Virginia point-to-point season with a flourish Saturday, February 21. About 8,000 spectators, the largest crowd in the meet’s 19-year history, watched eleven races (nine carded but two split) run over the perfect footing of Spring Hill Farm’s beautiful, rolling courses. Mild, spring weather brought forth a profusion of picnic baskets and children and dogs, adding to the festive country atmosphere. Success was divided between veteran horses and riders and the many young and untried ones. In the Casanova Clothe owner-rider timber race which was run in two divisions because of a large entry, 15-year-old BHly Myers won the first division, breaking his maiden. Randolph Rouse, nearly four times Billy’s senior, won the second division to capture the Cup for the seventh time. In the first section oi tne race, veterans David Semmes and his honest August Acorn led over most of the 20 fences and two and a half miles. Myers and his young Jigtime gelding, Frost Time, took the lead on the back, three fences from home. August Acorn couldn’t catch him, losing by two lengths, just as he had lost last year to Free Movement. Third was Roy “Tennessee” Graham on his Boca Bird, pleased with the way the Bird had run and jumped. Giant-sized Joe Muldoon 111 on Sam Himself won the heavyweight trophy for the first rider to finish weighing a minimum of 200 pounds. The second division, run 15 seconds faster, was almost a match race between Randolph Rouse’s Free Movement and Mike duPont’s Ha mi. Both Rouse and his mount were pictures of complete relaxation in the paddock and going to the post. They let Hami and Artists Haven take an early lead, but from the seventh fence to the finish they played a cool game of staying in front just enough to never let the hard driving duPont^Hami team overtake them. Arch Kingsley was well-pleased with Artists Haven’s coming in third. It was the former hurdler’s first effort over timber and his first race after a year’s layoff. Ernie Oare’s Hall came in an eased-up forth after his first trip over timber. Randy Waterman, who has come all the way from New York for three years now for this race, was the only other finisher. Harry Wight’s Royal Archer hooked the thirteenth fence, losing his rider, while StanislawMaliszewski pulled up Dickamoss, and Russell Coates’s Alden’s Rusty fell. POST TIME was 11 a.m. for the first race, the hunter pace event, in which forty teams from ten hunts galloped over two miles of flagged natural hunting country. Closest to the optimum time of 8:45 was the Bull Run Hunt team of Dick Schoenfeldor on Melody and Elroy Worsham riding Tia. Second was Casanova’s Lori Cobert on Bright Victory and Bruce Gamber with John. Marlborough’s team of Charles Owens on Sure Move and Mrs. Hannah Owens riding Mr. Tap Dancer was third.

Foxhunting license charge dismissed I A CHARGE of hunting without a license brought by Game Wardens against a member of the Rappahannock Hunt has been dismissed by Judge William Carson on grounds that he was not actually following “dogs while in pursuit of a fox” nor actually managing the dogs at the time the warden asked him to display his license. Judge Carson issued a written order of his finding in the case of the Commonwealth vs. John Lyle, which came before him in General District Court on February 20. The Judge’s order is as follows: “This day came the defendant by counsel in answer to a charge of fox hunting without a license and came also the Attorney for the Commonwealth. Calf-raising A statewide calf raising conference for dairymen will be held in Warrenton on March 4 with a follow up session on March 23. The meetings will begin at 10 a.m. and adjourn at 3 p.m. They are sponsored by the Co-operative Extension Service of VPI&SU. Topics of information include diseases, nutrition and housing. Ample time is provided to examine the problems and learn fresh alternatives at the all-day session. Farm district law is held over Legislation that would permit Virginia Agricultural Districts based on the New York state law has been carried over for further study until the 1977 General Assembly. House Bill 949 had nine patrons, with the chief patron Delegate Arthur Giesen from Staunton. The bill will be studied between sessions with a series of public hearings to be held. The New York law allows for agricultural districts of a minimum of 500 acres to be set up after petitioning the local government. The agriculture district will stay in effect for a period of eight years at which time it is subject to review by both the governing body and the landowners. The district could then be extended for another eight year period. □ “And the court having heard the evidence for die Commonwealth, doth sustain defendant’s motion to strike said evidence for the following reasons: . “Fox hunting is defined in Section 29-131 of the Code of Virginia as ‘the actual following of the dogs while in pursuit of a fox or foxes, or managing the dog or dogs while the fox or fox^ are being hunted, pursued or chased. “The evidence for the Common wealth discloses that at the time the defendant was requested by the game warden to display his license, he was not in pursuit of a fox or foxes nor was he managing the dog or dogs while a fox or foxes were being hunted, pursued or chased. He was a member of the ‘field’ that had convened for the obvious purpose of fox hunting, but die hunt had not begun. The hounds had not been ‘cast’ but on the contrary were still under the control and management of the huntsman; that is, ‘they were allaroundhim,’ as testified to by the game warden. Therefore, as the defendant was not following ‘dogs while in pursuit of a fox’ nor managing the dogs while foxes were being ‘hunted, pursued or chased,’ he was therefore not in violation of the statute under which he was prosecuted. “Dated this 20th day of February, 1976.”□ ■>» J.W.

Weekend visitors were Mr. and Mrs. Ward Guessford of Williamsport, Md. with Mrs. John Coates and daughter, Marsha of Brightwood joining them Compromise wilderness bill backed by Robinson CONGRESSMAN J. Kenneth Robinson believes a compromise proposal presented to a Senate subcommittee by Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., “may prove to be a broadly acceptable basis for a wilderness area designation in Shenandoah National Park.” “Retention of certain fire roads and popular hiking and horseback trails as corridors to receive a higher order of maintenance than permitted in pure wilderness paths, as suggested by Senator Byrd, would permit most present’ uses of the wilderness areas to continue and provide for ready access by ranger patrols and fire and rescue teams,” Robinson said. In a separate prepared statement submitted to the Senate Subcommittee on Parks and Recreation, the 7th District Congressman said, in part: I have had an active interest in proposals to preserve these natural areas for the enjoyment of this and future generations. “I believe that a wilderness designation can be designed in a manner to preserve from incompatible development those portions of the park most conducive to an atmosphere of wilderness and, at the same time, accommodate the valid concerns of the park’s neighbors. “WHILE all National Park lands are held in trust for all of the people of this nation, it is reasonable and proper that federal policies in the management of the BANQUET SCHEDULED The Amissville Ladies Auxiliary has set March 19 as the date for the annual Firemens Banquet which begins at 7 p.m. at the fire hall.D AUXILIARY MEET The Flint Hill Ladies Auxiliary will meet Monday, March 1 at 7:30 p.m. at the fire hall.D huge federal land holdings in general give weight to the concerns of neighboring communities. A cooperative spirit, when manifested on both sides of a park boundary, can enhance the current enjoyment, and the prospects for preservation, of the natural beauties of these areas which are so important to the revitalization of the human , spirit which, in a growing population, comes under increasing pressures and tensions. “The National Park Service itself recognizes gradations of wilderness. This permits substantial flexibility in dealing with wilderness proposals such as this.”D Canoe races THE 1976 version of the Virginia Championship Canoe Races will be run on the South Fork of the Shenandoah River April 24-25.

The latest report is that there will be a three to four week processing period in the Soil Testing Laboratory in Blacksburg. The final date that wheat or barley can be grazed and still be expected to produce a crop is March 1, for Barley and March 5, for wheat. Grazing beyond these dates will render the crop ineligible for payment in the event of a disaster resulting in crop failure.

PANTHER TALES Probably the greatest asset in learning that any student can have is the ability to read well. Likewise, defficulties in this area can be a student’s greatest hinderance in all areas of learning. This is a problem being realized, not only at Rappahannock County schools, but schools all over. And that is why the new reading lab which has been constructed at R. C. H. S. is such an important and welcomed addition to our school. A fulltime teacher who specializes in this type of high intensity reading program is being sought now to instruct the reading program and aid students who may have difficulty in this area. Students will become a part of the program through special parental permission and will be instructed at various times during their English classes only in groups of six or ten at a time. It is important to realize that this program is not for special ed students but for basically average students who may simply have difficulties in reading. In addition to this, Mrs. Moffett, as librarian, recently recieved a federal title n library fund. After discussion and planning with members of the R. C. H. S administration it was decided that this money would be used for the purchase of reading materials. The money was equally divided among our R. C. H. S English teachers and then used for the reading materials each felt would most benefit the student body. Our new reacting lab is the beginning of a better future in learning for many R. C. H. S. students. It’s a great beginning to see realized. The National Honor Society met Cindy Cumins last week to discuss the induction of the new members in March and to begin making plans for a N. H. S. picnic in the spring. The Industrial Arts department has two 8 x 12 storage barns for sale. They’re $400 each and delivery can be arranged. The department is also working on some modular units which may be purchased and erected at designated sites. If you’re interested, please contact Rappahannock County High School. It was a beautiful day last Tuesday when our baseball team began its first day of practice. . . .signs of a bright season to come? Certainly! This season’s baseball and track schedules will be printed as soon as they are available. We’ve got some recent college acceptances. They are Tim Metzinger to Ferrum College; Tom Metzinger, Bluefield; Nina Metzinger, Averett and Cindy Cumins to Longwood. And last but not least, an R. C. H. S. sweetheart to many: Mrs. Linda Toth was chosen as Valentine Queen of her sorority. February is the nicest month!

UseSutan + Selective Herbicide and atrazine. If you have stayed away from no-till corn because of the weed and insect build-up problem, you cam still get top-notch weed control before planting. Incorporate Sutan + herbicide, tank-mixed with atrazine, as you work the ground before you plant. No gamble on rain as with surface-applied herbicides. Your herbicides are right in the soil destroying weeds as they sprout. Sutan + and atrazine are a top recommendation for broad spectrum grass and broadleaf weed control. Use them to control nutsedge, crabgrass, pigweeds, foxtails, fall panicum, seedling johnsongrass, lambsquarters and many other weeds. This season keep every corn row clean for bigger yields. Use the combination herbicide that works rain or shine, Sutan+ and atrazine. Always follow label directions carefully. See your Stauffer supplier for Sutan+.

Then Richard Rector’s Atta Boy John and Task Order passed him and went head and head over the second last where Mr. Royal C. fell. Going into the last, it was Task Order on top with Mr. Jam moving up strongly. Atta Boy John went almost to his knees on landing, and Besomer A1 lost his rider. Down the stretch they tore, with Alfred Knowles’s Mr. Jam, J.B. Secor riding, winning by a half a length ovef Task Order. Atta Boy John, Jonathan Ruhsam up, was third. In the second division, Helen Polinger’s Kid Hank, piloted by “the old pro” Joe Aitcheson, waited until half way through the mile Spring Hill. Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Ask the Price in his first timber race took the lead initially with Code of the Hills. There was a great rattling of boards as several horses hit the second fence, the little coop going down into the pond field. Cousin Wes hit the ninth on top of the hill, almost losing rider Jonathan Ruhsam, who hung on by a hair. Coming back out of the pond field, Timber Topper collided with the beacon on the sharp right turn to the aiken, and fell. On the last turn into the far field, J.B. Secor on Mrs. Polinger’s Idol Fellow hugged the inside, gaining valuable lengths and took the last fence on top, galloping home a length ahead of Randolph Rluse’s Cousin Wes. Third was Mrs. Robert Crompton’s Master’s Degree, Paddy Neilson up, followed by Ask the Price, three wins out of three-entered. Jonathan Ruhsam sent the bay gelding to the front over thelthird fence and he was never headed. Charles Owens rode his Jay’s Trouble to place, and Baroness Bedros, after almost losing rider Anthony Price on landing after the last fence, was third. ^ FOLLOWING the Casanova Cup, which was next, was the First Colony—the owner-rider hurdle race. Charles Owen’s High Peak was the first across the wire, but he was disqualified for having earlier crossed over and bumped Kool Kake, causing her to fall with Kevin Palmer. The victory went to Douglass Worrall’s recent purchase, Iron Man’s Orr, making his first start over fence. Last year, Worrall won the inaugural running of this race on Kevin Palmer took an early lead on Kool Kake in the First Colony race at Casanova, but both rider and mount were spilled later in an incident that caused » the eventual first place finisher to be disqualified for crossing over and bumping Kool Kake.

The Melrose Castle, a two and a half mile timber race for ladies, was next. It looked like a sure victory for Mrs. Redmond Toerge’s Orsinette Smile, with Joey Reuter in the irons. They landed on top over the last fence, but Patty Cassel on Never Delay came out of nowhere and caught them in the stretch. Susan Green and Casino, making their usual comefrom-behind run, hit the last fence and parted company. Betty Sue Grant of Genesee Valley Hunt, N.Y., was third.
