Paul A Sors won 6 blue ribbon in the
four-tn-hand class ar the annual exhibi-
ton Of the Monmouth County Horse Show
Association. at Long Branch, yesterday
afternoon but Il was not a satisfactory
victory. as the Fairnont Farm entries were
sent from the ring nearly as soon as they
had entered IL, owing to a slight lameness,
which no one but the Judges could detect
in the bay wheeler Virginia The Watson
! four seemed 70 be going perfectly. and It
was therefore a surprise when they were
called into the centre Of the ring and then
dismissed from the class. Grangelt and
Gougelt were in the lead, and Virginia and
Lady Baltimore were the wheelers- Mr.
watson was surprised at the decision,
which was made by the Judges and not by
the veterinary. as he had no idea that
the mare was Iaue and could not detect
It after the coach had been sent from the
ring
Paul Sorg sat in the box behind his four
bays, Puritan Maid. Princess Pilgrim and
Pioneer, and they made a good enough
showing 10 have made the Watson horses
look to their laureIs if they had remained
IN the ring. As II was, It proved no difficult
matter for the Sorg four to defeat George
Kings King George, King Dalton. Young
King and Kentucky Prince.
The ladies' saddle class proved knotty
problem for the judges TO solve, although
II looked simple enough 70 the spectators.
Watchful, the bay gelding owned by
Eyron H Oppenhetnl and ridden by Miss
Helen Prentiss, seems 10 be q favorite
with the judges at every show He re-
fused 90 back yesterday, and when Miss
Prentice pulled he set his Jaws, planted
his fore feet and declined TO move He
won the blue. however, and little Martini
