Brilliant weather, which has character
lied each day since the opening of the
show, continues. A heavy blanket of dew
was everywhere apparent in the early
hours, but the sun coming from behind a
mist later in the morning quickly dried
the damp grass and soggy canvas cover

and soon every person was happy.
SPECULATION OVER FINALS.
Enthusiasts have now settled down to
a regular md-week horse show attitude.
Already possible winners in various
classes are being picked for entry in
the championship competitions which
feature the last day of the exhibition.
Horses which have been consistent In
their actions under different riders, and
others which since the opening of the
show have taken several blue ribbons are
the subject of considerable speculation,
One of the burning questions among spec
tators seems to be, which horse will such
and such an owner enter in champions

ners.
A number of favorites of other days
have continued in their old time form at
Bryn Mawr during the week. while few
newcomers have shown marked ability to
gallop off with first prizes.
Among the hounds. the principal com-
petitors today are the Radnor Hunt Club,
the Elkridge Hunt Club and the G. S. W
Hunt Club The judging will be confined
exclusively to half-breed hounds which
will be seen; bitches, dogs singly and in

Many enthusiasts who daily surround
the tented inclosure where the CANNES
are on display are anXiously awaiting
one of the most interesting features OF
the combination horse and hound show
which this week is making Bryn Mawr
a mecca for the hunting set. This is the
digging test for fox terriers. There are
seven entries in this class

there is small terrier which runs with

seems to be starting the quarry out OF

polo grounds in specially CONSTRUCTED

will proceed to dig. The little fellow who
