Karen’s photo essay (771 photos!) of the Second Day of the Bryn Mawr Hound Show was uploaded yesterday. Day 2, Saturday, is the show itself, the hound classes and the pack trials.

The Friday Night, Day 1, preliminaries are here.

Friday evening’s high point is the horn blowing competition.

Karen just got her photos of the first day of the Bryn Mawr Hound Show loaded on her web-site in time to coincide with the appearance of a few of her later photos in an article by Sarah Montague on the New York City NPR web-site.

Sarah’s article includes a recording of the horn blowing competiton.

The Bryn Mawr Hound Show, dating back to 1914, held on the grounds of the Radnor Hunt Club, is the oldest hound show held in the United States.

Karen’s first day photos are here.

The management will be out of town later today through Sunday, attending the Bryn Mawr Hound Show.

Possibly Internet access will be found at our lodgings on the road, but there is no guarantee of such amenities in the wilds of Philadelphia’s Main Line. There will be limited or no blogging until Monday.

I’m taking tomorrow as a day off from blogging, I’m afraid. I will be out of town, and AFK, attending the Bryn Mawr Hound Show.
