of comedy when Royal Urn broke free
as he was being led into the ring to re-
ceive the championship ribbon and
eluded stable boys and officials for al
most 20 minutes.
The runner-up in the hunter cham
pionShip was Thundercrash, shown
/ by Mrs. Simon Patterson Of Pittsburgh,
and winner of the lightweight hunter
championship. Royal Urn won both
the middle and heavy weight cham
pionships in the hunter class.
Woman Rider Takes Spill.
A triple-bar jump yesterday provided
spectators with thrills aplenty. Several
spills occurred when the horses were
put at the dificult Az foot jump.
Miss Deborah Rood of Wilmington,
Del. was thrown when her mount,
Capt. Brandywine, hit the top bars,
fell forward and rolled over. The rider
escaped injury, however.
I Ideal weather prevailed yesterday, and
the ring, which had provided treacher-
Gus going at the jumps for the first two
days, was dry enough to permit the
utmost in performance.
