Menow-Peggy Byrne Colt Champion in Virginia Nydrie Stud Yearling Selected At Horsemens Association Show MIDDLEBURG, Va., May 26.— With perfect weather and a large turnout of interested spectators, the Virginia Horsemens Associations annual "show of yearlings" attracted a large number of top colts and fillies at the Glenwood race course here. The grand championship of the show was awarded to a chestnut colt by Menow, out of Peggy Byrne, by Stimulus, exhibited * by D. G. Van Cliefs Nydrie Stud at Es- mont. The reserve championship award went to a chestnut filly by Sun AgaiiVQut of Phantasy, by Psychic Bid, exhibited by Brookmeade Farm. The official results, in the order in which the classes were shown, follow: Class 1, for fillies sired in Virginia, was won by Mrs. Marion Scotts bay filly, Nydia, by Heliodorus — Nerepha, by Pharis. However, pending the receipt of the registration papers on this filly from The Jockey Club, delayed because of the fact that she is out of the German mare, Nerepha, who has not as yet been cleared, the officers of the association awarded the first ribbon to the entry of Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Rives, a bay filly by Irish Luck — Kissan-run, by First Chance. When the papers have cleared on Mrs. Scotts filly, a duplicate award will be made. Second award went to Mrs. C. M. Greers Heavens Above, bay filly by Grand Admiral — Heaven Hill, by Tintagel.
