State Gets New Game
Refuge in Passaic Hills
At Ringwood Manor in Pomp-

New Jerseys second game refuge has
been established by the State Fish and
Game Commission at Ringwood Manor,
In Pompton township, Passaic county.
Two tracts of land much of 1t heavily
wooded and covering a total of 1900
acres, make up the new preserve. in
which wild game will be reared under
State protection. Experiments In re-
stocking work with game fish also Will
be conducted in the streams on the es-
tate.
The new refuge was created through
the generosity of Sarah Cooper and
Eleanor G.. Hewitt, owners of 600-acre
section and the estate Of Amy II. Green,
James Q. Green, Marvin ii. Green and
Eleanor M. Green. trustees for the 500
acre tract. Interested in seeing the
lands preserved in their natural Wild
ness, with game and birds restored to
and given a permanent refuge In this
near-wilderness. representatives OF the
donors offered the ground TO the Fish
andand Game Commission. under pro-
visions of a law providing for the es-
tablishing OF such preserves
No hunting by the owners or the pub
lie Is permitted on the refuge lands.
The Conitnission. however. has the priv
ilcge of trapping game there Mt any time
and removing II to other sections of the
state for restocking purposes. lmme-
diately adjacent lands naturally Will be
restocked by the spread of surplus game
from the preserve, the boundaries OF
which will be fenced only by single

TUXEDO DOG SHOW
BOASTS BIG ENTRY
Annual Exhibition VIII Have
400 on Benches, Including
Old English SheepdOgs.
BY FRANK #. DOLE.

The big event of this week Will be
the annual show OF the Tuxedo Kennel
Club at Tuxedo Park ON Saturday and
combined with It, the speciality show of
the Old English Sheepdog Club. Over
400 have been entered for the Tuxedo
show, and there will be forty-three of
the big shaggy sheepdogs for their
show. Practically all OF the larger
kennels in this section of the country
have entered their best. and 1t will be
one of the most representative shows
held this year
The large entry received is largely in
appreciation of the people who give
their time and money to make tho club
a success. With such prominent per-
sons as Mrs. David Wagstaff, the
clubs president; the other officers, Mrs.
Theodore Frelinghuysen, vice presi-
dent; Frederic Foster Carey. treasurer,
and Mrs. Frank b. Keech. secretary !:
and the bench show committee. includ-
ing Messrs. Pierre Lorillard. Sr. and
Jr., and Mr.. Wagstaff, Mr.. Freling-
huysen, Col. Keech. Miss Annette tn
ford and Mrs. Preston Davie, the club
has gained reputation for giving
thoroughly high class shows.
To house the show. the old club
house in Tuxedo Park will be used.
AS the affair Is for the benefit of the
Tuxedo Memorial Hospital. the park
will be thrown open for the day to all
who wish to see the show. With the
growth In interest of the clubs shows
each year. arrangements have been
made by Mrs. Wagstaff to care for an
even bigger attendance this year than
at former shows.
Shepherd dogs have large entry as a
tribute to J. w. Barnard Of Litchfeld,
Conn, who will judge them. Mr.. Bar
nard has long been a student of this
popular breed. He was the first man
in this country to go to Germany to
study the standards used in judging
these dogs there. He became very much
attached to the breed and 1t has been
his hobby to breed and own good ones.
He has. however, never judged before,
and the Tuxedo Club feels itself un-
usually fortunate in being able to bring
such an expert from seclusion into the
judging ring. 1t is not surprising he has
received a great entry.
Another judge favored with a big col
lection is Vinton p. Breese. the profess
sional of Caldwell, N. J. Mr.. Breese is
as familiar in the judging ring as Mr..
Barnard is not. He has always been
we'll received by the exhibitors, but
never more so than at Tuxedo, where
ne has a number of breeds
AS matter of fact all the judges
have been favored by the exhibitors.
They are Mrs. Morton y. Paul, Prentice
Talmadge, Tyler Morse, Fred c. Havens
and J. B. Cooper. 1t was necessary for
Mr.. George Greer to withdraw from the
Judging of sporting spaniels because of
the death of his father. Frederick
Nelson of Shrewsbury. N. J., will ham
die that breed, in which he is well
known.

The judges Of the show were John l..
Bushnell of Springfield. Ohio In all
saddle classes. and Victor Sifton OF To-
ronto. Canada, in all hunter and jump

Springfield Has 1t, Says w. HI.
Wanamaker, Jr., After Re-
cent Exhibition.

With the thermometer showing sum-
horse market is still In the dol
drums, so far as autumn activity Is con-
cerned. A week of seasonable weather
is sorely needed, dealers say, TO start
up the trade. At F'iss. Doerr & Car
rolls big auction mart in East Twenty
fourth street, few fresh country horses
are being offered in the Monday and
Thursday sales, and these are making
little money for shippers, owing to the
sharply advancing prices in the West.
Several New York dealers who recently
tried to buy there have encountered such
aggressive competition that they came
home empty handed or with only half
the workers they wanted. And for
these they had to pay about as much as
they can hope to realize here just now.
Mr.. F'iss says the autumn advance in
prices always begins earlier in the West
than in New York, making 1t difficult
for dealers here to escape losses for
few weeks at the opening OF the season.
Second hand horses made UP the bulk of
the offerings in all the local auction
marts last week. Fiss. Doerr & Carroll
expect to sell two carloads of green
ones in the regular Monday auction to-
morrow.
The Bergen Horse Company's weekly
auctions in Jersey City are bringing to
the block an increasing number of green
ones and second handlers every Wednes-
day as the fall season draws near.
