HUMIDITY IN Spill
AT HORSE SHOW
Old Sol Breezes In Winner as
Jumping Glasses Start
at Bryn Mawr
HOUNDS HOLD SWAY

The weather man had n bad fall at
the Bryn Mawr Horse Show this morn
ing. Riding his famous mud lark, Old
Man Humidity, with the placard
showers" on his back, he went down
on the first hazard and retired In dis
grace On the other hand, Old Sol,
that fiery veteran, got away to a good
start and burned up the track from his
first appearance. All Of which Is an
other way Of saying that the rain
prophesied for today failed to mate
rialize.
Optimism reigned among the directors
Of the show as II entered upon the
third day of it's twenty fifth annual
meeting. Everything has fully come up
to their fondest hope. The number and
quality of the entries have been par
ticularly gratifying, and the numerous
classes have been run off with q strict
adherence to the published starting
time. Furthermore, the weather has
been all that any one could desire, and
the attendance correspondingly good.
The hound show, too, has been a big
success.
This Is far and away the best Eng
lish hound show yet" said Stanley
Reeve today, "and everything is going
nicely"
Today marked the opening of the
dahlia sho win the big white center tent,
where the massed blossoms are being
shown in bewildering disulay of color.
SO numerous are the blooms on display
that some of them overflow into an
auxiliary tent nearby.
Samuel Vauclain is represented by
an unusually fine selection of twenty :
five mixed dahlias, and Mrs. +. T.. Dix =
on's famous orchids occupy place of
honor.
Governor Sproul was again in at
throng of horse show enthusiasts that
have attended the exhibition since It's
opening on Wednesday.
The show yesterday was without
spills up until the last class, when Miss
Alexandra B. Dolan was thrown twice
from her mounts. The fair exhibitor
experienced her first spill on riding
Egyptian Deity for f. Ambrose Clark.
She was unscated from her mount when
it baked just before making an at
tempt to jump the rails.
Her next tumble, which was a bad
one, occurred while mounted on Balliol,
another entry belonging to Mr.. Clark.
This time Miss Dolan landed on the
fiat of her back. The spill was the result
Of her mount indulging In some circus
stunts with his hindlegs on the ground
and the forelegs in midair. She quickly
got up, unhurt, however, and managed
to go over the jumps without further
trouble.
