STEEPLECHASE
(Continued from Page 1)
With beautiful weather, some 60
entries, a crowd estimated by
some as high as 8,000 and every-
Hhing clicking along with profes
sional smoothness, it had an au
thentic air of the big-time. Even
the judges’ stand had a festival
look, banked with longleaf pines
and collared with a double row
of bright nodding jonquils.
Starring as rider along with
Cameron was F. D. “Dooley”
Adams, ranked first among riders
of the nation, who rode two horses
to victory in major races. The
first was Fiddlers’ Choice, owned
I by his mother, Mrs. C. E. Adams,
[winner in the Stoneybrook Open
[Hurdle; the second, L. H. Nelles’
I Extra Points, 'winner of the Silver
Run. Extra Points distinguished
himself mightily last summer at
I Belmont Park, where he set a new
'record. Both horses were trained
I by Mrs. Adams at her stables in
Southern Pines.
'Pink Coat
I The Pink Coat race, featuring
six entries from the field of Moore
j County Hounds, with riders in
j hunting pink, in its pace and skill
more than justified the consider
able local interest. W. J. Brew-
[ster’s Valley G, ranked about
fifth from the top, scored an up
set vietdry as, with Earl Hoy in
the saddle, he zipped past one I
favorite after another. Friars
Maid, earlier favored to win,
trailed most of the time, then
came in fourth, while the second
favored, Fermoy’s Mary, failed to
place.
H. M. Rhett’s Princess Bug
fought hard for her victory in the
Yadkin, a hurdle race for maidens
three-year-olds and up. Leading
most of the way, but finishing
third, was J. J. Gullen’s Easter
Island, ridden by Dooley Adams.
L. H. Nelles’ Winnie the Imp was
second.
Three Walsh daughters raced
on the flat in The Pines, and the
youngest won—11-year-old Au
drey, on her own horse. Journey.
Joan and Maureen Walsh had
swapped horses, and Maureen
came in second on Amy Robsart,
with Joan third on Our Ed.
William G. Jones’ Canary Oaks,
ridden by Jim Nichols, won the
second race, a trial for two-year-
olds.

feature will also be continued
perhaps with some changes based
on last fall’s experience.
Miss McDonald named L. D.
McDonald, Allen McLaughlin and
Mrs. Lee Powers as a “sale im
provement” committee, to present
constructive suggestions. She is
completing a retailers’ committee
to operate the sale, securing par
ticipation of all groups.
In other actions at the directors’
meeting last week the directors
pledged cooperation with the
’Finer Carolina” contest in South
ern Pines.
June Blue tendered his resigna
tion from the board on account of
the press of other business, but
agreed to stay until a current pro
ject of his committee is completed.
He is chairman of the house com
mittee. A rfeplacement will be ap
pointed.
