HORSE SHOW OPENS.
Many Handsome Turnouts at the Driving
Park Yesterday.


Beautiful weather favored the opening
of the Morris County Field Clubs horse
show yesterday afternoon, and the scene
presented at the Driving Park was pic
ture full of color and life when the horses
were in motion on the miniature track,
surrounded by fashionable folk in the
boxes of the grand stand and on the roofs
of the coaches and other four-in-hand
turnouts that filled the parking spaces in
the field
Not only was Morris County society
represented, but many Of New York's
swell set came out to enjoy the show.
The prettiast feature of the first days
events was an exhibition of women's
turnouts in which appropriate carriages
and appointments. as well as the horses,
counted for the award. A silver cup Of
fered by Mrs. John /. Waterbury was
the first prize. Five of the smartest turn
outs ever seen here paraded for the rib
bons on the miniature track. Mrs. John
M. Shaw's sprightly little chestnut mare
Flossie, a pony of 14.1 hands, won the
cup. Mrs Charles M. Chapin's tasteful
turnout was placed second, and Miss
Smiths Countess was third.
The show will continue this afternoon
and tomorrow, and complete list of the
awards will appear in the next issue Of
this paper. There is every indication that
the exhibition will be quite up to the ex-
pectat1ons of its promoters, and if it does
not eclipse any outdoor event of the kind
ever held here the committee in charge
will not be to blame, for every effort has
been made with the view of making this
show an unprecedented success.

In SESSION AGAIN.
American and Spanish Commission
ers Confer at Paris.
Little Doubt of Strong Presentment
on Philippine Matter.

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE American and
Spanish peace commissioners again
confronted each other this afternoon.
The American commissioners held a
session this morning and were occupied
with Washington correspondence. Thus
far the substance of the American pre-
sentiment has not been disclosed. 1t was
its presentation at Mondays joint ses-
sion which caused the Spaniards to
ask for or demand a recess from Mon
day until Friday. Something new and
of n stronger nature may develop FROM
the American side as the result of the
conferences with Major Gen. Merritt.
If the American position was then
sweeping regarding the Philippines 1t
has certainly not been weakened by the
statements of Gen Merritt
However. il is possible that the Span
iards entered the session today fully
appreciating their position as the van
quished, although they may strenuous
ly urge the existence of the rights and
equities remaining TO the vanquished.

the service.
In view of the facts, however. Judge
Brown ordered that he be discharged
from military service, and young Can

Played in Monarch.

The Neihart band took an outing
Sunday and paid a visit to the town of
Monarch, which will soon be II suburb
of Neihart. The boys of the musical
organization found the smiling little
town waiting for something Of the kind
to happen, and they did not disappoint
the hopes of the most expectant. After
a big dinner at Phippen's hotel had
been consumed, the announcement was
sent out that the band would give "A
free concert in Phippen's hall commenc-
ing at 2:3O p. M. The program consist
ed of national and sacred medleys, sere-
nades and varying selections of the lat
est production in the musical line. The
audience consisted of nearly the entire
populace and the appreciation of the
various renditions was quite expressive.
Everybody spoke the wish that the band
would come again.
The people of Monarch tried every
art to make the band boys themselves
enjoy the occasion. The bill of fare
was extra good, but to our land-loving
wind-jammer a dish of baked fish was a
letter from home-fraught with loves
old sweet song; and the pumpkin pie re
hearsed a tale of childhood festivities
and paregoric. Mrs. Phippen gave the
best of pabulum the house affords.
Wash. Delphey delivered the address of
welcome and Mr.. Greeley's kettledrum
solo played with Il monkey wrench was
much appreciated bt all.
The band boys say they will surely
go to Monarch again-where hospitality
comes in barrels and is continually on
draught.
