faultless. The jumping on the
whole was so clean in this event
that the process of elimination
was a lengthy problem for the
judges. . Jerry, owned' by Miss Mc

last night's Corinthian,' again held
the high score as a jumper. War

other Vancouver entry of E.Ed

were greeted with genuine approv

I .'END OF TH2 HOAD
(Continued oa ra-$3)
By ELLA McMUNN
On what I Judge to be t!
wall, of the art roon, (altLc
always get turned around In
pesky pavilion and find r
raving over some glorious
kin, which proves on exclar
to be the same pumpkin I i
over before) well,-on the cu t
is a. picture that haunts me, ;
think that the", artist . sbou?
something 'for the man fca
painted, before it is etercal
late. .
It shows 'an old, dila;
wagon, with the endgate I :
away, and bitched to it is a :
W'th. head down in a stata (
solute dejection. An ancient ;
of which the roof remains, I
only sign of human habitat!
it Is seen a man, stooping t
up what appears to be a bur
small sticks. A leaflet
stands solitary nearby, a j
blur fills the tacircuzl t
stretches endessly,
. I asked a woman stani!
what she thought it mea- t,
she said It looked like "TI
of the Road," since there : 3
ing ahead, notblns in tl ? f .. .
Now 1 blame that artUt fcr i
Ing him in such a situation,
should have told the nun t
a board and mend tbat vz:
first thing, and if that t
tree to spade around it ars I
fertilizer and make a good t
it. And If tbat was I'.j f:r
It was no -good ct t'A, r
even scenery oa IL, ta na'
mer resort. of it cr '
estate. And finally, IT t
could not tokrata t!: 3 t
not take '3 tcr;j - ! i. ;.
go away to soma 1 . r ; r.
