BRYN MAWR. Sent.

BRGN 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
6S, 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 immedis tely in the same
class when a groom riding Transport for
Willis Sharpe Kilmer took a header of
very much the same description. Trans
ports manners, however, were not con-
sidcred au fait, and he was transported
from the ring
Brilliant weather, which has character
ized 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
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 II. Henry, on Colonel Obannen.

SPECULATION OVER FINALS.
Enthusiasts have now settled down to
a regular mid-week horse show attitude.
H.,
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 champion
ship competition from his string Of win
ners
A number of favorites OF other days
have continued in their old-time form at |
