rruN STAFF CONFECTIONERY. -
Delicately narcelled draft horses with
erstwhilc shaggy names. either bedecked
with nosegays or hanging In picturesque
ringlsts over their huge necks featured
the opening of the final day at Bryn
Mawrs twentieth Horse Show.
The draft horse more than came into
his own today. 1t was his first chance In
all the twenty years OF the Horse Show
here to parade his ponderous grace and
charm, and he improved this opportunity
BY laboring about the field with his 1000
or more pounds of bulk bedecked In all
the radiance of springtime debutantc,
Ribbons. flowers and a tail which showed
the result OF application of the curling
iron, as did his name, made the hulking
working horse look as though he had
just walked from a French milliners
shop instead of from stable.
Never have the patient and numbering
toilers in the field appeared to such an
advantage, and the crowd in the stand,
although small because of the chill wind
blowing across the field, appauded his
distinguished appearance. ....
BARON FAIRFAX WINS FIRST.

Fairfax. an Ophelia-like looking animal

the glory formerly enjoyed by a steed
during the Augustan age, when 1t was the
custom to place a laurel wreath care
lessly over the animals left ear and
otherwise apparel him for display

ponies, entered the oval today for first

There Is a delicious tang in the air,
which usually belongs to Horse Show at
mosphere. but has been missing until to-
day. While a rather chill wind blows
across the polo field, warm sun Shines
tempering the rawness of the day. As
