MANY Spills MARX |
HORSE SHOW DAY.
No Serious Injuries, Although
Nasty Falls Have Big Devon
Crowd Gasping
MISS COMBS WINS TWICE

Spills marked the morning events at
the Devon Horse Show and Country
Fair today.
-Four upsets. none of them serious,
provided momentary thrills in the hunt
tiers and jumpers class.
]. T. Faehrer. representing the Bob
White Farm and riding the bay mare.
Bob White, was the first to tumble on
the smooth turf. and within a few mo-
ments j. Mosscrop. riding Jig Time.
and Robert Taylor on Shannon cata-
quilted from their steeds at the jumps.
j. NJ. Brook. riding his own entry.
Over the Top, was the final victim OF
an ugly but not serious spill. Miss
Isabella Wanamaker made her first ap-
pearance in the oval driving Wild
Honey. her sensational bay mare, in
the pony in harness lcass.
The best she could get was n sixth
place because of bad manners on Wild
Honey's part as she rounded the course.
However. Miss Wanamaker won her
fourth blue ribbon in this event with
Sir Eric. winner yesterday. and driven
this morning by William Pinch. As
Mrs. Loula Long Combs the Kansas
City girl, won two blue ribbonus today,
she and Miss Wanamaker are now on
even terms with four first apiece.
Miss Anne Ashton. with her bay
mare, Trillo Fancy, representing Judge
Ashton's Delchester Farms, excited
much interest by the pretty picture she
made in her blue riding habit, and her
expert handling of the reins.
Society appeared at the show IN large
numbers. The crowd which lined the
oval as the opening event got under way
was larger than at any time yesterday.
and gay -colored sweaters and hats
dotted the grandstand.
The horses seemed TO feel the spur
Of the sun and warm breeze and in the
jumping class, which opened the pro-
gram, showed spirit lacking on the first
day. "
A military touch. reminiscent of the
World War. was given the show this
afternoon, when veterans of the war
carrying battle flags SCARED by the
fighting over there. officially raised
a flag given the show officials by The
Bryn Mawr Hospital, which is the bene-
ficiary of the affair.
The exercises were conducted by n
company Of infantry Of the famous First
Division with Major General Summer
all, his staff and Major General Ed
wards. commander of the Twenty sixth
Massachusetts Division of Infantry
present.
General dissatisfaction was expressed
yesterday by those in attendance at the
show by the introduction Of the old
English custom of labelling the riders
by means of band, worn on their arm.
instead of their backs as in former
years. Not only were they indistin-
guishable, according to those in attend
ance, at distances and various angles.
but when the chilly day, compelled the
riders to don sweaters and jackets. they
were lost to view completely. Isaac II
Clothier. n member of the committee in
charge Of the show, indicated that a
switch will probably be made today to
the former method.
The military party included Briga =
dier Generals w. s. Graves and Dwight
E. Altman and ten staff ytficers. They
were guests of Major A. b. Cassatt at
luncheon in the cafeteria.
