Because of its hazards, few horses under seven years old are entered in the Maryland Hunt. Last week the favorites were Mrs. Read Beard's ten-year-old Blockade and John Strawbridge's ten-year-old Coq Bruyere, the two top timber-toppers in the U. S. Blockade, chestnut son of famed Man 0' War, had clipped seven seconds off the course record last year when he won the race in 8 min., 44 sec. Coq Bruyere, a grey, had been beaten only once in six timber races last year...
...valley below, the crowd watched the seven starters charge over the first jump, held its breath as they reached the third, known as the Union Memorial Fence.* After that dreaded obstacle was surmounted without mishap, a roar thundered through the lush valley. Blockade was in the lead, Coq Bruyere far behind. Fencing perfectly and lightning fast on the flat, Blockade clung to his lead. Not until the 18th jump did Coq Bruyere challenge.

...brilliant and imaginative artist, still addicted to lengthening her snub nose with putty, Tatiana Riabouchinska, usually superb in pale, willowy roles, last week turned flamboyant in a ballet the troupe is doing for the first time in the U. S.-Rimsky-Korsakov's Le Coq d'Or. As the golden cock which warned silly King Dodon whenever disaster impended (which was often), Riabouchinska leaped frantically, shook dazzling tail feathers against the bizarre, glaringly-colored backgrounds of Nathalie Gontcharova. With the often repetitious opera airs of Rimsky-Korsakov cut to ballet length, Le Coq d'Or made good...
