Show, Wins Second Ribbon

the State Fair grounds yesterday af-
ternoon. it marked the close of the
most successful horse show ever held

city in line among clas-y shows, such
as Devon and Bryn Mawr. The rain

the ordor of those who gathered
around the arena and they were
amply repaid by a display of horse
manship seldom equalled.
