BRYN MAWR, Sept. "a.
Two thrills marked the opening of
The fourth day at the Bryn Mawr Horse
Show, Lurman Stewart again being the
principal actor in the little drama, which
for a moment looked to be a tragedy.
Mr.. Stewart was riding Sloe Gin. in class
SC, post and rail jumping class with
unusually interesting entries. Sloe Gin
became "Slow Gin just at an inoppor-
tune moment, and the decided halt in
his gait threw Mr.. Stewart completely
over his head. The rider remounted al
most Immediately, and neither horse nor
rider was the worse for wear.
The second spill and incidental thrill
followed almost immediately in the same
class when groom riding Transport for
Willis Sharpe Kilmer took header of
very much the same description. Trans
ports manners, however, were not con-
sidered au fait, and he was transported
from the ring.
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
Ing the sands. Later the band appeared
and soon every person was happy.
Regardless OF Mr.. Stewards acrobatic
attempts to win blue. the first prize went
TO Howard H. Henry, on Colonel Obannen,
new horse. The second was taken by
Templar, an entry of Louis C. Clark, Jr.
st. Winifred, from Glen Riddle Farms,
