SOCIETY NOTES 
Dr. and Mrs. C. A. Porter, who secured the Nelson 
Bartlett cottage, Beverly Farms, this season, sailed from 
Hamburg, July 29, after several weeks’ trip abread, 
principally in England and Seotland. They are return- 
jng by the way of Montreal and Quebee and are due in 
Beverly Farms, August 7. Mrs. Porter was Miss Marge- 
fet Cochran Dewar of Scotland and her visit to her 
native home has been particularly enjoyable. Dr. Por- 
ter has attended medical conventions in London and 
Glasgow of much interest and advantage to him. During 
their absence, Dr. William Carter Quimby and bride 
(Miss Thayer), daughter of Congressman Thayer of 
iWoreester, have been at the Porter cottage. On July 30, 
the little son of Dr. and Mrs. Porter, Charles B. Porter, 
observed his fourth birthday and this charming little 
fellow had a number of cousins and playmates as guests 
to help him celebrate the day. A prize birthday cake 
was divided among the little folk.

R. M. Bradley is making improvenients at his Man- 
chester estate and is having the ground in the rear laid 
out for a fine tennis court. 
being erected. 
A eoachman’s lodge is also 
The Coming Horse Show at Magnolia. 
August is here and so is the real season at the hotels 
in Magnolia. The Oceanside is crowded to eapacitv and 
the Hesperus and Aborn are fast filling. While this in 
a measure is due to the tennis tournament which was be- 
gun on the Oceanside courts Monday, in the main ar- 
rangements had been made long in advance for the 
coming of society women and persons of national promi- 
nenee to this charming North Shore resort. The beau- 
tiful days for the last few days have been followed by 
an evening cool which has kept nearly every one indoors 
with the result that bridge and music have been the rule. 
One of the events important to the North Shore sum- 
mer season will be the Magnolia Horse Show which will 
take place on Magnolia Beach, August 20. As is usual 
on this date leaders in society and lovers of the horse 
from all along the North Shore—the cottages and hotels 
-—will be on hand, or rather on horse, to take part in or 
witness the events. These have been arranged with rare 
good judgment by J. Henry Coulter of the Oceanside, 
Magnolia, and if one may judge by the unusually large 
number of entries already received, the show will be 
even more successful than have been the meets of other 
years. Society will be well represented on the beach 
that day and persons in the smart set from all over the 
United States, and even from foreign lands as repre- 
sentatives from many legations are summering here— 
will be among the enthusiasts who each year do so much 
to make the show of vast importance. Many of the per- 
sons staying at the Oceanside and the cottages along the 
shore are here for the season and have brought with 
them animals that have showed in similar meets in dif 
ferent parts of the country. 
Many young women have forgotten for the time being 
the joys of the motor car even on the perfect North 
Shore roads, and are very enthusiastic this year for the 
horse, and every pleasant day many are seen in the sad- 
dle or handling the reins. For this reason it is expected 
that there will be many entries in the ladies’ riding and 
driving events and also in the jumps. Alice Thorndike, 
who already has a large collection of ribbons will prob- 
ably appear in many of the events. Miss Thorndike is 
an enthusiast and is a leading figure in the horse shows 
in this part of the country. Miss Eleanora Sears, who is 
another leader in the society set who always when she 
is in this part of the country appears with some of the 
best horses that can be found anywhere, will as usual be 
a factor to contend with when the bugle calls the ani- 
mals to post in the saddle and hunting events. Miss 
Sears is one of the most daring riders in the smart set 
and even when entered in jumping events with men 
she has carried off many a blue ribbon. Miss Helen 
Frick, daughter of Henry C. Frick, of Pittsburg, will 
come up from her father’s beautiful summer estate at 
Pride’s Crossing with her ponies, saddle and harness 
horses and will have to meet entries by Miss Katherine 
Tweed of New York and West Beach Hill,. Beverly 
Farms; the Misses Munn of Manchester and Washing- 
ton; Miss R. T. Paine of Coolidge Point; Miss M. Newell 
of Magnolia; the Foss ‘‘twins’’—Miss Helen and Miss 
Esther—of Cohasset; Miss Elizabeth Cutting of 
Beverly Farms, Miss Alice Brown of Beverly Farms, 
and Miss Clara Curtis of Manchester. Miss Maud 
Seudder of St. Louis, who is at the Oceanside for 
the rest of the season, has brought her pony, ‘‘Puneh,’’ 
with her, and will show the clever animal on the beach 
in the coming meet. Mrs. J. J. Weil of Elmsford, New 
York, will have a number of entries in the show this 
year, and will appear in the riding and driving events. 
It is Mrs. Weil who is driving the Coulter coach and 
four every day from the Oceanside to Manchester by 
way of the Essex County club, varying the route from 
time to time by making the run to Pride’s Crossing and 
return. Another Oceanside entrant will be Horace More- 
head of Pittsburg. Other probable entries will come 
from Miss M. M. Walker, Magnolia; D. B. Wentz, 
Pride’s Crossing; George Chipehase, Pride’s Crossing ; 
S. H. Fessenden, Coolidge Point; W. S. Kuhn of Man- 
chester and Pittsburg; Harrison Tweed, Beverly Farms ; 
Miss Wheelwright, Beverly Farms; Walter D. Denegre, 
Manchester; Norman Prince, Wenham; George Man- 
dell, Beverly Cove; George Bartlett, jr., Man- 
chester; Harry Lee, Beverly Farms; J. HH. Collins, 
Cohasset; C. G. Rice, Ipswich; Frank Small, Wen- 
ham; Allen Curtis; Beverly Farms. It is expected 
that Judge W. H. Moore of New York, who has the most 
extensive stable of thoroughbreds on the North Shore, 
Will be among the entrants in the jumping events. As 
he may be one of the men asked to act as judges at the 
meet it is not likely his horses will be entered in any 
other events. ,
