BRY.V MAWR, Pa., Sept. 2.-Dnnclng
and hungry horses which did tlio heal
tntlon, chewed hedges Instead of Jymp
lng over them, and otherwise performed
n a manner decidedly unctubby, fea
tured tlio hunters and Jumpers' class
which was first Judged today at tlio
Bryn Mnwr Horso Show. During tho
entire Initial competition there was not
one spill from a field of 3(5 entries. This
Is a icmarkablo thing when ono con
siders past performances.
Tho first arrival, acting In a decidedly
unfiled for manner considering his birth,
was Benjamin, an uiti-y of Hobcrt L.
Garry of Now York. Benjamin stopped
short when ho camo to n hedge In front
of the grandstand and began to partake
of a lato breakfast. Horrified Judges
rushed to tho rescue of tho hedge and
tho horse was turned off the oval for
bad manners. Benjamin's conduct tho
last two days has been quite naughty.
Yesterday ho upset Lurman Stowart In
a spectacular manner In front of tho
grandstand nnd otherwise cavorted In a
manner decidedly unbecoming to Well
bred equlnes.
Display showed teipslchorenn proclivi
ties. Hermanns, a Highland Farm entry
of John It. Valentine's, danced about the
tan bark In a manner which would have
ocMloncl the envy of a Vernon Castle.
Every step was hesitation, and despite
the lashings administered by I.urman
Stewart. His rider, Hermanus tripped
about tho ring In reckless fashion. Not
until he had finished the dnnco did the
animal consent to take tho Jumps.
MR. TOWNSEND THROWN'.
What at first looked like a serious acci
dent happened early today nt the Bryn
JIawr home of John R. Valentine, when
J. Taylor Townsend, of New York, was
hurled to tho ground by a vicious horso
belonging to Robert L. Gerry, of New
York. Mr. Townsend, who Is a house
guest of tho Valentines, was trying out
the animal when It threw him. His ear
was badly cut, but he insisted tho Injury
was not bad and rode a horse In tho first
hunters' and Jumpers' class, wearing a
bandage over his head.
Robert L. Gerry's Hamsah, winner of
the Radnor Challenge Cup on AVcdnes
dny, captured a blue ribbon In the hunt
ers' and Jumpers' class, the first Judged
today. Nono of tho horses whoso
peculiar performances featured tho con
test took a prize. Second honors went
to Branton, of Stronla Farms, a Balti
more stable, while Huntley, another of
the Gerry horses, took third. Hard, Mrs.
Robert Wadsworth's horse, camo In for
fourth prize.
One of the Interesting mounts In the
firtt class was London Smoke, A. Henry
Hlgglnson's horse, which took every Jump
In fine stylo but onp. His nverslonto this
piiticular obstruction caused him to halt
suddenly In front of It. and instead of
lumping, stepped deliberately over the
rails. Laughter from tho stands greeted
ra qualified or green shown oVcr the
outside course, will conclude Ihtf day's
events. This class Is also td be Ridden
by members of hunt clubs Iri costume.
Nearly every horse which has accom
plished anything during the week will
be entered. Willow King", Ballyhealher
and St. Winifred, from Olen Riddle
tarms; Louis C, Clark's Templar; Alarm
and High Ball, belonging to U. U. Mc

HBVVY SKIES THREATEN.
Gray skies nnd surly clouds greeted
early morning arrivals. But It takes
more than these uncertainties to dampen
the enthusiasm of a typical horso show
crowd once spectators get the habit of
being preicnt at the Judging. Tho possi
bilities of a spill or the thrills of excite
ment when sleok hunters, handled in a
masterly manner, go gracefully over dlf
rlcult Jumps, far outweigh any misgiv
ings caused by a possibility of rain.
And so people kept coming into the
stands and walking about tho rails. Tr ue.
straw hats and other Palm Beach attire
g-ive way to raincoats and typical fall
headgear, but all that goes with tho
change In climatic, conditions, and lnln or
rhlne, warm or cold, the Bryn Mawr show
never falls to attract crowds of hunting
enthusiasts and lovers of the horse. The
attendance this year Is augmented by tho
combination hound show, which Is being1
held In conjunction with the other fash
ionable event.
Disappointed horse owners whose saddle
horse entries have failed to come up to
the expectations of admirers, will have
another opportunity today to enter their
string of non-winners In the consolation
class. This event Is open only to non
winners. The horse show catalogue does
not lecord tho names of those animal
which me to competo In this event, ami
one of the chief topics of conversation
among typical rail birds naturally Is
which horses will bo entered.
INTEREST IN TODAY'S PROGRAM
Today's events comprise In their en
tirety probably one of the most interest
ing programs of the week. Hunters and
Jumpers figure particularly In the list.
In the obedience class, run off shortly
before noon, awards were made to the
horse making the best showing over a
series of nine successive Jumps, three
over at a walk, three at a. trot and thiee
at a canter. Manners In this contest
in ere especially considered.
The ladles' obstacle driving class, which
la to be teen shortly after the noon re
cess, Is another contest In which grace
ful driving and skilful handling of horses
under difficult conditions are shown to a
great advantage. The prize In this eent
jo Kiven lor tne nest driving by a lady
In a two-wheeled cart through obstacles
Placed at certain distances and agles In
her path. The cup is presented by Mrs.
W. Lyttel! White.
High steppers In harness are also ex
pected to please the afternoon crowd at
the show. The famous Pandora, from
bamuel M. Vauclaln's Broadlawn Farms
at Rosemont. Is an entry. This horse
has taken prizes several times during the
wfi. L Anther well-known horso which
"III be seen In thin H.n.n in Tk ii'hin

HUNT CLASS WITH HOUNDS.
Just before the closing event late this
afternoon, a. hunt class with hounds will
be shown over tho oval In front of the
Grandstand.
A similar event was run off on Tuesday,
out so late In the afternoon that many
persons had already left the grounds.
The hunt class with hounds is one of the
most picturesque events In today's Judg-

KOTTERDAM, "Sept. 25.
A fortnight ago a tiustworthy, 6b
scrvant Dutch friend of mlno whs on tho
point uf visiting Germany for reasons
that concern nobody hut himself. At my
request he promised to bring back an ac
ournto account of tho stato of the coun
try. Yesterday he returned. What I
write below Is derived from it long and
Intimate conversation with him. It can
be accepted as absolutely reliable.
Germany has begun to foil very strong
ly tho turn of tho tide.
That Is the keynote of my friend's ob
servations. Tho great arrogant cmplro Ib
already a cduntry of outward mourning
and Inward weeping. Tears -are rarely
seen In tho streets, because in tho
Kaiser's kingdom people have been taught
that tears arc a symbol of weakness. But
Indoors thoy flow as freely as tho blood
which Is causing them elsewhere. Dvery
woman Is alrcndy a widow or a sonitsw
mother or a nurse. Black is the fashion
able color everywhere., it reigns supreme,
except at hours or on das appointed for
spurious Joy by the Kaiser. Then Hags
flutter everywhere to celebrate obscure
victories, and for a few hysterlcnl hours
the signs of death are obliterated. But
when night comes tho scene Is again
sombre and sad. The Rhine barges have
nit been turned Into hospital ships Most
of tho wounded aro never scon or henid
of by tile people. They aie silently taken
to the Rhine, not across It, and there, In
the cool vessels which used to run to Rot
terdam, struggle with death.
FEELING BELGIUM'S AGONY.
Each day thoro rushes Into Berlin an
other frightened horde of Bust Prussians.
Tho agony that for five weeks past 1ms
been Belgium's has now begun to be
Prussia's. Ah, the savage Russians, tho
barbarians! This Is what Berlin says,
although of all the fugitives who have ar
rived none has any evidence to offer that

LONDON, Sept 25.
An CWllsh woman, who arrived yester
day nt Folkstone from Bremen gives a
graphic description of some of the "scene's
shu wltiiessffl In some of the northern
cities of Germany, and describes the state
of tho people as panicky. She brought
with her a batch of German newspapers
which show how the German people aro
being deceived as to the real progress of
the war,
"Tho papers In Bremen," she says,
"wcio placarded dnlty with such headlines
as 'Victory on Victory,' and told of great
British military disasters, of how British
warships had been destroyed, and even
that a German crulsor had entered tho
Thames and blown up a British cruiser.
London, wo are told, was In a state of
seml-rnvolutlon, the English peoplo wcro
clamoring against tho war, half tho Cabi
net Had resigned, trade was at a stand
still, nnd food was at famine prices,"
All sorts of stories giving tho terrible
batbatitles of the Allies were published
In there papers. The eyes of tho German
wounded lind been forced out and their
hands cut off by the French and Belgians,
and It was to this fact (was due tho meth
ods of "retaliation" adopted by the Ger
man troops. In tho firtt days of tho war
news came freely to the.o German cities
from tho front, but later on news became
scarce with the result that a feeling verg
ing on panic was created.
"There In a rigid censorship In the
cities," the woman fugitive said, "and one
had to be exceedingly careful atjout what
he or she said In public. I had to guard
ngalnst speaking In Hngllsh, for, although
as a rule the English nrc only treated
coolly, some Englishmen, during the first
few days, wore brutally beaten In the
streets.
"Two weeks ago when every ono was
on edge with rumors of n naval engage

canal the city was suddenly thrown Into
the wildest chaos. It was about 8 o'clock
In the evening nnd suddenly volley nfter
volley of heavy rifle firing lang out.
"Immediately the streets were filled
with scurrying people, shouting and
screaming with excitement. 'To tho

"I ran with tho rest from the 'New

wore running at the double from side

of men kneeling in tho gutters firing

MUST NOT ERECT HOTEL

Harrison Estate Heirs Win Suit
Against the Executors.
The question as to whether Councils
should not b compelled to forrrially con
demn property now In line with the
Parkway, ns proposed by tho clly, was
decided by Judge Dickinson in the
United States District Court today In nn
opinion filed. The case was brought by
Theodore L, Harrison and The Phila
delphia Trust, Safe Deposit and Insur
ance Company, executors under tho will
of Jdseph Harrison, Jr., deceased, against
the city. The court orders the plain
tiff's bill dismissed and a. decree to bo
entered entitling the defendant to the
costs rtf the suit
Tho Hot'rlsori estate Is the owner of the
properties H01-HO5-HO7 Filbert street. It
was proposed by tho executora to erect
a hotel on tho property, which would cost
about 1150,000, hut -when the heirs of the
eslnto objected to this Improvement on
the giound that the properties weto al
ready on a lino with the Parkway, ac
cording to the city plans, and that thcie
fore no damages could be recovered for
buildings erected on the site, tho execu
tors sought the nld of tho District Court.
Judge Dickinson's ruling upholds the
nri'inrnt ndvnnred l thr heirs, hat It
would be Inndvlsablo to Improve tho land
with a fl.'iu.uuit tiuiiu.ng nt tins lunt
"There Is no net of Aswmbly of Penn
sylvania which provides for payment of I
or requites security for any damage which

advises Judge Dickinson In hi opinion.
By tho term "paper street," Judge Dickin
son means the street ns proposed accord
ing to the city plans. Tlio court holds that
tho Parkway was projected In good faith
by tho city, oJld believes that It will be
completed ns poOn as the proper authori
ties think It should be.
"Many laws In their application work
hardships," tho court explains, "but such
hardships do not reach the dignity of
legal Inlustlce. Tho evil here complained
of Is, moreover, not even real, or at least
present. It is threatened only."

Without the slightest sign of nervous
ness, and with all the religious fervor
nnd enthusiasm of one who has spent
many years In the pulpit, tho H-year-old
son of tho Rev. Charles Forbes, who
has beon conducting a mission at the
Stratford Tabernacle, preached a strik

Young Forbes began preaching at nine,
and ho has since toured through .sovera.
American towns. Some of his sermons
havo been printed and published, while
many more have found their way to
tho hearts of American worklugmen.
Curiously enough. It was at the Strat
ford Tabernacle that Miss Helen Coult-
nara, who, as "Nellie, tne Child Evan
gelist," has touched the emotions of
inunsanas, prencneo last Easter. Miss
Coulthard Is now 20 years of age, and
when she wns nine spoke In the open

her conversions have been many. She

DIVERS MUST BE CAREFUL
Meet Numerous Dangers in doing
Below Surface.
Referring to the death of a diver n
gugrd on the Emnress of Treinn.i ,..,.i.
a. w-Uter In the Manchester Guardian says
that the first sensation felt when the
diver goes down to 30 feet or so below
the surface Is a singing In the ears. This
is due to tha drum of the ear being
stretched a llttlo. and thl. i. ,.n,,,i iU
turn by the fact that the air pressure on
tne outside has been Increased, while that
on the Inside Is kent nnrmil - ,
seconds longet by some slight obstruction
in the Eustachian tube connecting the
ear with tho note
Ordinarily a diver may descend quite
quickly to tho scene of his work. But
he must bo very careful how he comes
up, and the longer he remains rfrm-n ,
more time must he take in coming up.
The reason Is that nil tv... ti, i;. !:
down his blood is absorbing air. The
greater the depth tho greater the pres
sure of tho air, and the more of it he
absorbs In a given time. His blood be
comes aerated like soda water In a si.
phon. Reducing the pressure is equlv-
