dealers who have Mr.. Lawson's interests at the
show in hand. admit that the wrong horse was
sent into the ring.
1t then up to the entry clerk. as he should
have that the horses brought out for the com
petition were those named the entry blanks
and II clearly case OF neglect of duty on his
part, nasmuch as Gorgeous Regina is a bay mare
and Gorgeous Sport is a chestnut gelding There
reason why person would with in
tent 10 defraud, have attempted to substitute one
for the other especially the entry clerk was pre-
sumaby on hand tC detect anything of the sort
After the facts had been ascertained the execu
tive committee disqualified both the Lawson horses
and moved the other contestants accordinpy
