terday, leaders in New Jersey society
t~hronged in even larger numbers to the
beautiful grounds of the club today.
Competition in the various classes is
exceedingly keen and, in spite OF the
fact that such large owners of show
horses as, Reginald C. Vanderbilt and
William II. Moore are numerously rep
resented, the New Jersey exhibitors are
holding their own in excellent shape.
From a horseman's point of view, the
perennial battle between Mr.. Wander
bilt and Mr.. Moore is, of course, the
most interesting feature. These old
rivals come together in many of the
classes, and added zest is afforded by
the fact that both of them always show
their own entries and also by the fact
that Mrs. Vanderbilt always. lends the
grace of her presence.

OPTIMISM BLAzES
Up BRIGHTLY IN
BUSINESS WORLD
Nearly 10000 Commercial Trav-
elers to Hold Prosperity Con-
ventiOn in New York.

The doctrine of commercial optimism
is to have a great boost on August IA
and Is, when the prosperity convention
of the Travellers Protective Associa-
ton and the United Commercial
Travellers, numbering $4,000 members,
will be held in New York.
At that time there are between 25,-
900 and 10000 merchants from all parts
of the country, and their buyers, in
New York. laying in their fall and
winter stocks of goods. At the same
time all of the big wholesale houses
of New York Chicago, Boston, st.
Louis. Philadelphia and other large
cities have their statesmen in New
York to meet the purchasers.
The two travellers associations have
combined in what is called the Com
.mercial Travellers Interstate Congress,
and they are now sending Out litera-
ture to their $4,000 members teaching
the faith CT optimism. All statesmen
are urged, not only during the con-
v%ention, but during the tour of their
routes, to preach optimism to the mer-
chants.
Plan of National Scope.
The travellers are making an effort
to promote a feeling of confidence and
optimism in every city and district of
the country by establishing cordial re-
lations with the twenty-odd thousand
daily n weekly newspapers through
out the country. Their large member
ship forms a tremendous distributing
force. 1t is proposed to establish a
central publicity bureau n supply
the army of travelling men with en-
couraging information about crops and
business.
The commercial travellers are in a
position to carry his propaganda, not
only to the local press, but to the
biggest manufacturing and commercial
men personally. This is a big idea,
thoroughly practical in execution, and
necessarily a non-political movement
for the reason that the constitutions
of both organizations strictly forbid
anything OF a political nature to enter
into their activities.
The value of optimism was the chord
