MISS E. R. SEARS TAKING THE JUMPS AT THE MAGNOLIA SHOW LAST YEAR. 
The horse—after temporarily giving up his title to 
the road—has ‘‘come back’’ along the North Shore, and 
society, which was responsible for the decline of the 
beast in favor of the automobile has gone back to its 
first love—the horse. 
This summer more than ever since the perfecting of 
the motor car, the horse has returned to favor and mem- 
bers of the smart set all along the shore and especially 
at Manchester and Magnolia, are taking advantage of 
the beautiful roads and bridle paths and the sandy 
beaches for riding and driving. 
Prominent among the persons well known to those in 
every walk of life, who have ignored the coming of the 
automobile and have remained loyal to the horse are the 
Hon. Oliver Wendall Holmes, associate justice of the 
United States Supreme Court and Curtis Guild, sr., 
father of the former governor of Massachusetts. 
Seated in a modern ‘‘one-hoss shay,’’ Mr. Justice 
Holmes who spends his summers in Beverly Farms in the 
house where his illustrious father did so much to ad- 
vanee American literature, may be seen on the roads 
along the North Shore, driving with Mrs. Holmes. The 
drives through Manchester and Magnolia are especially 
fascinating to the justice and he takes advantage of 
every pleasant day. 
Mr. Guild’ who for many years has been a summer 
season guest at the Oceanside in Magnolia is seldom seen 
in an automobile, much preferring the carriage and 
horse as a mode of conveyance. One of his favorite drives 
is along Crescent Beach, Magnolia, and most any pleas- 
ant morning he may be seen driving up and down the 
sand in a basket phaeton behind a speedy little pony. 
Of the younger set, Mrs. J. J. Weil of the Oceanside 
contingent seems to be a leader and in addition to 
spending most of her time guiding a fast horse to a trap, 
she has been on the box of Harry Coulter’s coach, tool- 
ing the reins over the backs of his prize four-in-hand. 
Mrs. Weil is a clever whip and loves the ringing tones’ 
of the coaching horn as the coach rolls over the roads 
between Magnolia and Pride’s Crossing. a 
Another lover of the horse in Miss Maude Seudder 
of St. Louis, who has come to Magnolia for the season’ 
with other members of the family, and is often seen on 
the road with her clever pony ‘‘Punch.’’ R. H. More- 
head of Pittsburg, rides nearly every day with his son’ 
Horace. Another Pittsburg family, the Henry C. Fricks, 
who are at their magnificent Pride’s Crossing estate, 1s: 
perhaps an exception to the rule, although in the case 
of the daughter, Miss Helen, the horse still reigns su- 
preme over the automobile. The Frick stable is prob- 
ably the most extensive, in structure at least, of any on. 
the North Shore and many high-bred animals are kept 
here. Except in the case of Miss Helen, who rides and 
drives, these animals are seldom used, the automobile 
being preferred by other members of the family. 
J.J. Weil, who comes to the Oceanside for every other 
week during the season is as enthusiastic rider and. — 
driver as is Mrs. Weil. The two children are being: 
brought up to love the horse and every day, while the 
head of the family is here, Mr. and Mrs. Weil, Miss. 
Elizabeth and Master John, are on horse back for long | 
gallops over the Magnolia and Gloucester bridle paths. 
One of the most daring riders of the young women 
here this season is Miss Irene Rossiter, who seldom rides _ 
except when she is holding the bridle of a jumper. She 
is a friend of the Fred Bonners of New York. 
Mary Margaret Walker, daughter of Mrs. J. Harring- 
ton Walker of Detroit, has brought her own trap to the 
Sargent estate on the Shore road in Magnolia. Allen 
Stearns, also of Detroit, is one of the younger boys at 
Magnolia this summer who spends much of his time in.
