Long Branch. July 25.-The impor-
lance Of the champion classes, which
are usually the feature Of the closing
dsv of the Monmouth County Horse
show nailed before the superior I'M
portance Of whether John X. Townsend
did or did not judge Irish Heather and
Killarney to-day.
The alteration. which has Ceen
hanging fire since Thursday, when
Irish Heather won the ladies' saddle
class. with Miss Ida l.. Fleitmann up,
eliminated to-day in written state
ment, which was signed by Walter H.
Hanley. y. j. Hess, A. W. Atkinson,
:. NJ. Neugrass and Scion Frank.
The statement was in answer TO
denial which Mr.. Townsend had made
public. wherein he said that he mad
no, assisted George B. Hulme in piac-
ing Irish Heather or Killarney. The
exhibitors who signed the statement
were those who refused TO show pc
tore Nv Townsend after Irish Heather
had been chosen to wear the blue'
saw Townsend in Ring.
They asserted they had seen MI
Townsend in the ring at the time tne
horses were being judged, and that ne
had apparently performed the tuhc,
ions OF a Judge. making notes ana
directing the riders in the rlng' lheE
stated further that never again would
tbrv show at any exhibition where MI
Towrsend adiudicated. even If this res,
olution barred them from the national
show. =

fec.ed by the hostile attitude oil the
exhibitors he did not show H. ne
seemed the personificatlon oil trulh
crushed to earth as he rose IN Niholc"'
ton of his action. I'll
Vr Tow,send explained 30 a Trib-
ure representative that his perform

ne had been in the ring merely 10 give
Mr. Hume moral support and that
he had in no way influenced his de-
c;sion in regard 10 Irish Heather or
Killarnev: also. that he had gone IN
the ring at the request of the of1clais'
and had he been allowed TO follow MS
own inclinations that he would have
preferred 10 remain far from the mad
Ging crowd while the horses were IN
the ring.
This reluctance 20 judge horse in
which he had been interested apparent
IL related only 10 saddle horses and
did not cover the case OF hunters, for
Mr.. Townsend admitted having sold
the gray hunter Cygnet 20 Miss fielt-
mann short time ago. Cygnet won
the ladies' hunters class yesterday.
When the saddle horses over To-
hands high were called into the ring
Irish Heather was the only one when
answered the Cubic call. the others al
lowing him to carry away the cnam-
pionship undisputed.
In the champion class for smaller
horses Walter II. Hanley's beautiful
bay mare Glittering Glory was nrs'
choice. with Seton Girl in line for
the reserve ribbon. Miss Helen Shoe
maker rode Seton Girl.
Miss Anne Vauclain, owner Of the
Broadawn Farms, had fitting climax

The exhibition Of coaches and fours
and the competition for pairs Of sad

features of the day.

There was a protest in the class for
saddle pairs. which was sustained and
which eliminated the long suffering
Irish Heather and Killarney from COM
