68 RADNOR REMINISCENCES 



Saturday, 22nd April, 1916 

 Mrs. Harry W. Harrison" very kindly gave the cup 

 that was run for to-day at Happy Creek Farms, under the 

 auspices of the Radnor Hunt. 



It had been many years since Radnor had a spring meet- 

 ing, and, although the race was well filled, twelve starters 

 to be exact, there was only a small gallery on hand to see 

 them off. It was a very pretty race all through, and with 

 plenty of excitement to suit those of morbid tastes. 



Antelo Devereux's "Earl Senff," with the owner up, fell 

 at the fourth jump; then Victor Mather's saddle turned, 

 putting his " Pocopson " out of the running. Bill Clothier's 

 "Impulsive," with Gerry Leiper riding, went down at the 

 big fence in the meadow; and Welsh Strawbridge, who 

 looked like a winner, took "River Breeze" outside the 

 flags] and fell at the second jump from home, leaving 

 Nelson Buckley's good horse, "Ruskin," ridden by John 

 Bosley, Jr., of Baltimore, without a real competitor. " Bint " 

 Toland's"Sam Ball," with Eddie Cheston up, ran second; 

 the other "also rans" being E. B. Morris, Jr.'s "Flurry 

 Knox"; Robert Glendinning's " Mill Work," "Truthful," 

 owned and ridden by Julian Biddle; "Wild Irishman," 

 Colonel Livingston; and W. H. Mulford's "Grasshopper."
