Wallace D. Kenyon, president and treasurer of the Webster Co., at North Attleboro; his wife, Mrs. Mildred W. Kenyon, and their daughter, Miss Ann W. Kenyon, were the honor winners at the Third Annual Horse Show of the Jacobs Hill Hunt Club on Saturday. On a sodden field that made jumping hazardous and repeatedly demanded sterling bits of horsemanship to avert severe tumbles, the club presented its sparkling review before packed grandstands. Among the numerous handsome and beautiful prizes were trophies offered by the Tilden-Thurber Corp., Mr. and Mrs. Asbel T. Wall, Jr., and Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon. The President’s Trophy event, restricted to members of the club, was captured by Mr. Kenyon’s princely mount, Neighbor. Mrs. Kenyon succeeded in putting Sagacious, winner of the event in 1927, over the tops for third honors. Mr. Kenyon rode Neighbor in the final event of the day, for hunt teams of three hunters ridden one behind the other over jumps, taking second prize. Miss Ann W. Kenyon won three blue ribbons, one red and one yellow.
