LONG BRANCH, July 25.-Many of
the summer residents are making 1t a
habit here to arise almost with the
sun. in order to see the thoroughbreds
entered for the Horse Show next week
go through their PAGES. The beautiful
animals are driven over roads and
highways every morning early to keep
them in perfect trim.
The most popular horses are the four
famous grays belonging to Alfred G.
Vanderbilt. They were driven yester-
day four-in-hand to brake by Charles
Wilson. Next in favor come the our
cobs from the same stables, recently
purchased for $4,000 by Mr.. Wander
bilt.
The streets in the vicinity of the
Horse Show grounds, where the ami
mails are stabbed during the show, be-
gan to take on a lively appearance.
Late arrivals include Alfred G. Wander
bits entries in the pairs and tandem
classes. Mel Valleys Wonder, Mel VAL
