Grasshopper in a class for jumping.
Tradition ran away and hid her head
today and was forced to withhold at the
same time the baneful effect of one ot
her pet hobbies The Horse Show M
Brwn Mawr opened for the 21st time with
not a cloud In the sky nor even the faint
est prospect Of rain.
For many years, in fact. as long m
the oldest inhabitant can remember the
Bryn Mawr exhibition has had to com
pat rainy weather OF variety that
could take all three ribbons from the
proverbial Quaker-week brand.
Lit up by the brilliant sunlight. the
scene around the oval for sheer pictur-
esaue attractiveness could hardly be ex-
celled. Against the velvety green setting
of the great polo field, set in turn against
the background of autumn foliage, the
ring. with It's brown tanbark carpeting.
Its white jumping posts and brilliant
white and green pennants, stood ont In
strong contrast The women scattered
here and there among the spectators lent
further touch of color in their brilliant
sweaters, apparently the feature garb of
that season of the year which is cool and
warm almost at the same time.
The attendance was light during the
morning hours, but society does not rise
early and a horse show Is par excellence
social event from a spectators point of
view. Everything pointed to a record
attendance during the afternoon Nearly
the entire morning session was devoted
20 the running on of class for green
hunters.
The Bryn Mawr Shows chief claim TO
distinction has been the best entry list
OF hunters and jumpers of any show held
IN this country A glance at the program
today indicates this claim is justified.
20 NEW STALLS ERECTED.
So great a demand was made for ac-
commodations for horses that it was nee
essary to erect 80 new boxstalls These
stalls have been made permanent and
now the upper end of the polo field is
literally small village of stalls.
There are more entries in the show this
year than ever before, more classes have
been provided, and the added interest
furnished by the second annual Bryn
Mawr Hound Show, which will be held
for four days, makes the whole venture
more attractive
More than 225 horses will be shown this
year on the tanbark of the oval. This Is
the largest number that has ever been
brought to Bryn Mawr.
The demand for accommodations OF all
kinds at the show has been so great that
the association has been embarrassed by
the overflow of prosperity. Besides the
demand for new places for horses, per-
sons desiring boxes have been insstent
that they be provided for, although the
supply of boxes is exhausted.
Many visitors from other cities will be
on hand for the exhibition and several
prominent persons will entertain house
parties. Among the hosts will be Mr.
