Permanent stabling has beenprovided
on the grounds with ample acccmmo-
dations, both single and box stalls, for
the benefit of exhibitors, replacing the
temporary sheds that have been con-

is hoped that exhibitors will avail
themselves of these accommodations
and thus aid the Show, instead of en-
gaging space for horses and vehicles
elsewhere.
There are tifty-one classes this year
and generally speaking the features are
very similar to those Of previous
Shows, except in few particulars
where the committee has sought to
embody changes that it was thought
would be more acceptable to the resi-
dents of Morristown and vicinity.
In the local classes this year any
resident of New Jersey may make an
entry, whereas, in former years this
class was restricted to residents of
Morris and Somerset counties. This
change is made in response to the
wishes OF many persons residing in
