Three spills marked the first events
today at the twenty third annual Bryn

recovered when II. G. Conor. of Devon.
riding Virginia Lady, was thrown
violently to the tanbark. The horse mis-
Judged the top of the fence by several
inches and clattered among the rails
in great confusion.
BY a quick roll to the right Mr..
Conor escaped the horses feet. He was
badly shaken up, but uninjured, and
left the oval smiling.
New Entries Fear Jump
II was noticeable that many of the
entries new to the horse show. hesi e
tated Just at the wrong moment. Many
appeared to be reluctant about the
whole occasion and galloped about as
though it were an occasion in which
they had no particular interest.
incidentally stiff breeze which hov-
cred over the grounds chased most of
the spectators out of the green and
white canopied stands to the inviting
green field, where the sun was liberal
and lingering.

maximum price established for the pc

Under the circumstances an advance
in the retail price Of coal to the levels
in effect before the strike IS practi-
cally assured at once, although the To-
cal dealers had taken no definite ac-
tion Wednesday noon,
Coal dealers do not know definitely
whether they are being protected on
the present prices, which are about IS
cents per ton less than the retail price
before the administration fixed the
prices for the emergency period, or
whether they are losing money on every
ton sold
If the mines are shipping coal at the
former prices the dealers are losing
money, they claim and unless definite
information is received at once an ad- =
vance in the retail price of coal to the
former level will probably follow in a
day or two, as a matter of self-protec-
tion.
The strike settlement, revoking all
restrictions, was retroactive to Dec. /.
This may mean that the maximum
prices fixed by the administration were
revoked at the same time, In such a
case, the retail dealers contend that
there is no way TO recover on the loss
sustained on sales at the present prices.
Kentucky coal Is now selling at Sc. So

advance Of about 65 cents per ton is
