   Berto Monard has kindly sent us Aug. 7-8 observation of RU Hor.
The data clearly showed the presence of ~0.2 mag superhumps.
The profile indicates that the superhumps had just fully grown.
Having been discovered on the rise on Aug. 5, this time-development
is not surprising for this short-Psh system.  Further continuous
observations are encouraged to record the variation of superhumps 
during the entire superoutburst and possible rebrightening(s).
