Among his chief challengers in the middle-heavy- weight division were an American, a Pole, and Russia's Arkadi Vorovyev, six times world champion.

A horse that normally carries one of the gun- ners of the King's Troop of the Royal Horse Artillery last week won the biggest show-jumping contest in the world, the Daily Express-sponsored Foxhunter championship. Ridden by Captain Pat Holland, the eight-year-old gelding Savernake was placed in his preliminary "Foxhualer" heat, came second in his regional final, and then won convincingly on time after two jump-offs at Wembley. This year a total of 1,000 novice horses entered the preliminary rounda of the competition.
