LONG BRANCH. July 2e.-Interest
IN today's contest at the Monmouth
county horse show grounds centres in
n clash for honors that is due be-
tween the Hartman and Watson sta
oies for the Patton challenge trophy.
Tnis is n of the handsomest pieces
OF plate offered at the show, and the
conditions are ripe for a contest that
VIII make horse-show history. Nala,
the Avondale FARMS finest bay stallion,
is the Hartman entry, and Lord Balti-
more and Granglet, both bay geldings of
the Paramount Farm stock, will carry
the hopes of C. w. Watson.
Others in the class are; Miss Edith
Clark's Wallenstein, M. L. Schwartz's
Hobcaw, Paul A. Sorg's Lady Tuck,
Florham Farms Florham Sovereign,
Dewitt C. Flanagan's Lord Rus
sell and Prince Charming. But the
contest In all probability will settle up
on the two entries first mentioned, as
both Hartman and Watson each hold
two legs on the cup and a third will
carry with it permanent ownership.
Society will be u in force for the keen
competition.
Day show Not Favored by Women
In spite of an improvement In attend
ance the members of the association,
at least many Of them. are realizing
that they have made a mistake In
changing their show days from three
and a night show to five-day perform
ances. A sentiment In favor Of a re-
turn to the old order is working
among them and fast gaining in
strength. 1t is practically a certainty
that some change will be made for next
year, and h night show, that vas
always the most popular feature of the
weeks in former years, will doubtless re-
turn. This gives the ladies an oppor-
tunity of appearing in jewels and eve
ming gowns, and heretofore the event
rivaled in bril1iancy the most gorgeous
of Madison Squares famous peacock
exhibits.
During the first three days thirty
six classes have been judged with lead
ing results as follows:
Faul A. Sorg. 7 blues and 8 reds;

Four-in-Hand Decision Criticised.
Paul A. Sorg's winning of the blue
in the four-in-hand CLASS on Wednes-
day is creating not a little comment,
since it is pointed out that@the Fair
mount Farm entry (shown by c.. w.
Watson. Sorg's closest rival) was sent
from the ring before judgment was
made, on the ground of lameness in
the bay wheeler Virginia. This
lameness could only be selected by the
judges. for even the official veterinary
was unable to locate 1t on close ex-
dfil1IldltOn. MI. WdISOl SHOWED some
surprise at the decision of the judges,
in view OF the lack of veterinary evil
dencc, but made no protest. Paul Sorg
sat on the box behind his four bays,
Puritan Maid, Princess, Pilgrim and
Pioneer, and his showing of form
would have been enough to make the
Watson four step for honors, out with
them out of the ring 1t was an easy
matter to close over George Kings
King George. King Dalton. Young
King and kentucky Prince.
