New Jersey Notes MONMOUTH PARK, Oceanport, N. J., June 22. G. S. Howells Punkin Vine, winner of the Choice Stakes here last season, probably will make his first stakes start of the current campaign in the Longfellow Handicap at a mile on the turf, June 29. Al Hudson has taken over the engage- ment book of jockey Basil James. Hudson was a star of the University of Miami football team some, years ago. James led the nations riders in 1936. Word has been received that trainer Rollie Shepp will ship River Divide Farms unbeaten juvenile Decathlon, the stakes winning filly Queensware, and Midstep to Monmouth Park on June 26. W. R. Mitchell is well pleased with the way Beacon Stables Miss Misty is responding to training. She is being prepped for the Miss Woodford Stakes and the Monmouth Oaks, top filly fixtures of the Monmouth Park meeting.
