NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
MYOPIA HORSE SHOW 
More than 3000 People Attend An- 
nual Labor Day Event at 
Hamilton 
North Shore society was very much 
in evidence at the 18th annual open 
air horse show and gymkhana of 
the Myopia Hunt club at Hamilton, 
Labor Day, with a program opening 
at 10 in the morning and lasting un- 
til after 5, with a polo mateh put 
on for an added attraction. 
Weather conditions were disagree- 
able but this did not dampen the en- 
thusiasm of the spectators and the 
Winners in the various classes were 
applauded. President Taft did not go 
over for the show in the afternoon 
as he expected that he would. He 
was a bit lame after his golf game 
in the morning and did not care to 
risk a three hours’ stay in the open 
in the afternoon. 
Many of the blue ribbons went to 
the Mandell horses, 8S. P. Mandell, 2d, 
getting two, T. P. Mandell one, 
James H. Proctor two, C. G. Rice, 
two, Miss Leshe Bradley one, and 
Miss Gail Stephens one. 
There were 59 entries for the Mas- 
ter’s cup, the biggest field for many 
years, and the trophy was won by 
Iucy Long, a fine acting bay mare 
owned by C. G. Rice and ridden by 
Neil Rice. In the jumping for the 
Master’s cup; Mrs. John 8. Lawrence, 
riding High Point, was thrown from 
her mount at a jump, but pluckilyv 
finished and had another narrow es- 
cape when the girth loosened a bit. 
The gymkhana proved interesting.

SOCIETY NOTES 
With the great, full harvest moon 
to light them on their way, more 
than one thousand of the North 
Shore’s fashionable smart-sea mo- 
tored over to Magnolia Saturday 
evening to attend the Oceanside’s 
big mid-summer ball. The day 
preceding had been ideal. The 
night itself was an inspiration to 
motoring and jollity. And the re- 
sult was that, from Rockport to Na- 
hant, searcely a family chronicled 
in the blue-books but sent its com- 
pany of two or three or more to 
dance out the month and the season 
in the big ball-room that looks out 
upon the sea. 
There are not words sufficient to 
express the lovliness of that ball 
room. The mid-summer ball is the 
one big dress event of the season 
along the shore and, when the pre- 
lude of the orchestra called the first 
dancers out on the floor, the room 
contained many of the most dis- 
tinguished men of America and 
scores of the most beautiful matrons 
and daughters of New York, Wash- 
ington, Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago, 
St. Louis, Kansas City, New Orleans 
and other cities of the West and 
South. Besides the hotel guests and 
the cottagers, there were many 
there from distant points who came 
specially to attend the ball. Many 
of the cottagers had invited guests 
from home to come on for the ball 
and these became the center of 
many little festive affairs at the 
North 
Essex County Club, before and after 
the ball. When the ball was at its 
height, the dancers made up as cos- 
mopolitan a company as ever as- 
sembled at Magnolia. 
One of its prominent constituents 
were the members of the foreign 
= 
Coleraine, T. P. Mandell.

opia Hunt club.

mering along the shore. These, with
