BItYN MAWR, Sept. 21.
Two thrills maikcd the opening of
tho fourth day nt tho Bryn Mawr Horso
Show, Lurman Stewart ngaln being the
principal actor In the llttlo drama, which
for a moment looked to be a tragedy.
Sir. Stewart was riding Sloe Gin,, In class
65. a port and roll Jumping class with
unusually In'cicstlng entries. Sloo Clin
became "Slow Gin" Just at an Inoppor
tune moment, and tho decided halt In
his gait threw Mr. Stewart completely
oer his head. The rider remounted al
most Immediately, and neither horse nor
rider was the worse for wear.
The second spill and '.ncldental thrill
followed nlmost lmmcdlrtely In the same
claws when n groom rld'vig Transport for
"Willis Sharpe Kilmer look a header of
er.v much the same description. Trans
port's manners, however, wero riot con
sidered au fait, and he was transported
from the ring.
Brilliant weather, which hns character
ized each day since tho oponlng of tho
show, continues. A heavy blanket of dew
was everywhere apparent In tho early
hours, but tho sun coming from behind a
mist later In tho morning quickly dried
the-damp grass and soggy canvas cover
ing the bands. Later the band appeared
nnd soon every person .was happy.
Regardless of Mr. Stewart's acrobatic
attempts to win a blue, the llrst prize went
to Howard II, Henry, on Colonel Ouannen,
a new horso. Tho second was taken by
Templar, an entry of Louis C. Clark, Jr.
Et Winifred, from Glen Riddle Farms,
took third.
In tho second class of hunters and Jump
ers Judged, a featureless competition
aside from remnrkablo riding, the bluo
was taken by Wlllowklng, a former prize
winner, from Glen Riddle Farms,
Pnl'y Oombeo, entered by P. Ambrose
Clark, and another blue ribbon horso, took
feinm1 In the contfst. Third nnd fourth
h"iinrti went to Fullitn. of Highland Farm,
nnd Wild Irishman, last yenr's winners
of the Radnor Challenge Cup, and entered
from William T. Clothier's Valleyhlll
Farm.
Mr. Stewart figured In a third spill
hardly before ho had brushed tho tan
baik from his clothing following tho other
two. He was riding Benjamin, New York
rntiv of Robert L. Gerry, when the horse
refused In front of hedge near the Judgo's
stand. The rider wont head over heels
to the ground.
Stewart lashed tavagely nt the horse's
ne'k with his crop nfter remounting, but
could not make Benjamin take a rail
fenre bevond the hedgo of misfortune.
He was obliged to withdraw from the
times, t.
H. B. McLean's Alarm ran away with
flrt-t honors In the Inst class of hunters
nnd Jumpers Judged before noon. The
VUslnlan, a Glen Rldillo entry, came
In second. V. Plunkett Stewart's
Triumph was third, nnd fourth honors
went to Ilamsnlc, Robert L. Gerry's
horse.
SPECULATION OVKR FINALS.
Enthusiasts have now settled down to
a regular mid-week horse show attitude.
Already possible winners In various
classes are being ricked for entry In
tho championship competitions which
feature the last day of the exhibition.
Iloises which have been consistent In
their actions under dlffeicnt riders, nnd
others which since the opening of the
how have taken several bluo ribbons, nro
the subject of conblderable speculation.
One of tho burning questions among spec
tators seems to be, which horse will such
and such an owner enter In champion
ship competition from his string of wln
rceis. A number of favoiltes of other days
have continued In their old-time form at
Bryn Mawr during tho week, while a few
newcomers have shown marked ability to
Eullop off with first pilzcs.
Among tho hounds, the principal com
petitors today are tho Radnor Hunt Club,
the L'lkildgo Hunt Club and tho CI. S. V.
Hunt Club. The Judging will be confined
uxfluslvcly to half-lnced hounds which
Villi he fcten, bitches, dogs singly and In
ImIis. None of tho entrants has been
thnwn befoio during tho week.
Many tuthuslasts who dally surround
thu tented Inclostue where the canines
are on displuy are anxiously awaltl.ig
no of the most Interesting features of
the combination horse and hound show
which this week Is making Bryn Mawr
a metcu for the hunting sot. This Is tha
digging test for fox terriers. There aro
bevn tntries In this class.
in nearly all iiaeks of buntlnir doss
shows most marked ability nt this sort
of work will receive an award.

DROUGHT CAUSING LOSS
IN FARMING DISTRICTS
Serious Condition of Crops in Chester
County Disease Threatened.
PHOENIXVILLK. Pa., Sept. 21 The
long-continued dry weather In this section
Is working grent harm with the growing
corn crop, which Is drying In the husks,
and unless rain comes within a few days
the crop will be practically lost. The
threatened disaster to the late corn crop
has to nn extent affected business and
the farmers are spending less.
The long drought has resulted In a lack
of water In many small streams which
furnish motive power for country mills,
and wells on farms have gone dry. Tho
mills have necessarily ceased to run, and
many farmers whose wells are dry are
compelled to haul their supply from
neighboring farms.
A few scattered cases of typhoid fever
have appeared In the nearby townships,
while the town Is free of the disease.
Those casea, the health authorities be
lieve, have their origin In bad water sup
plies causeu oy tne tirougni, and an exam
ination nf tho water soures of all the
dairy farms supplying Phoenlxvllle with
milk will be made and samples of the
supply taken for analysts.
WOODBURY. N.T1 Sept. SI -The rtrv
weather In this section is getting to be a,
serious matter. Farmers are hauling
water for their stock and householders
are carrying It. There has not been any
rain for six weeks and this Is detrimental
ti) sweet potatoes, very few of which
have been dug. Farmers say that the
crop will be very poor unless rain comes
within a day or two. Lawns around the
city are burning up and fields are as bare
as when the army worm visited them
Thu drought does not affect factories, aa
mo3t of them have their own plants.
