Magnolia Horse Show Proves a Gr@success From Every Standpoint. 
North Shore Society Out in Large Numbers to Witness the Gala J} of the Season at this Well-known Fashionable Summer Resort. 
Magnolia has had her Horse Show and the Good 
Graces favored the occasion by giving one of the finest 
afternoons of the summer. A splendid success in every 
detail was the show. Manager Harry Coulter and Mr. 
Phenix of the Oceanside pushed everything off in apple 
pie order and not a hitch occurred. 
Magnolia Beach never contained such a erowd. It is 
estimated that between 2500 and 3000 people were there. 
Society from all parts of the. North Shore augmented 
the hundreds of hotel guests, and nearly everybody had 
friends with them, so that, taken all in all, it was a very 
brilliant oceasion. 
Just one thing marred the day’s sport and that was 
the very last class on the program. Just as the people 
were beginning to leave the grand stand, as the horses 
were dashing up the beach for the hurdle race, the 
horse ridden by Richard Humble, a stable boy employed 
at Mr. Moore’s stable in Pride’s Crossing, was injured. 
Ilis horse had taken the first two hurdles and as he 
neared the last one he was a little crowded and refused 
to take the hurdle, plunging into the high fence instead. 
He crashed through it, breaking it into kindling wood. 
The animal toppled over head foremost onto the sand, 
with Humble underneath. Everyone thought the boy was 
killed. He was stunned and lay on the beach, as the 
korse galloped away. Doctors rushed from the grand 
stand and gave immediate assistance and a piece of the 
fenee which had been smashed was procured and the 
lody wrapped in blankets and was taken to the pavil- 
lion. It was found that no bones were broken, but the 
collar bone was fractured. He was later taken to Pride’s 
Crossing little the worse for his terrible fall. : 
To tell who of the North Shore people were there 
sould be to give a list of the whole North Shore colony. 
Everybody was there. : 
The children’s saddle class was the first one up. This 
was judged in two divisions. In the first division Mas- 
ter Jack Weil was awarded the blue ribbon, Miss Kate 
Tweed, the red; Miss Alice Thorndike’s Jack Rabbit, 
driven by Miss Phyllis Sears, 3d; and Master Jerome 
Kubn, fourth. In the second division James Hever’s 
Vanity took the blue; Miss Frances Bradley’s Bendouin 
the red: Miss M. Seudder’s Punch, 3d; and Miss Mary 
Walker’s Beauty, the fourth. 
The runabout horse was the next class. Mrs. J. J. 
Weil was picked by the judges as winner of the blue. 
She drove Yes Sir. Miss Eleanora Sears, driving S. H. 
Fessenden’s Lady Love took the red; Miss Alice Thorn- 
dike, driving Susan Thayer’s Plato, third, and Miss C. 
Curtis’ Croydon, 4th. 
The thoroughbred saddle class was won. by George 
Chipchase’s Glenham, owner up. Mr. Chipchase ’s Sapolia 
took the red; Miss Kate Tweed’s Tixley, the yellow; and 
Miss Eleanora Sears on D. M. Waller’s Bad Enough, the 
white. mh 
One of the, prettiest classes was the ladies’ driving 
in which the horse was furnished by the committee. 
The hitch was to be driven through obstacles placed at 
different positions in the ring. The ladies entering this 
were Misses Leslie Bradley, Elizabeth Bigelow, Marga- - 
ret Roosevelt, Mary Curtis, Eleanora Sears, Marie Dal- 
let and Mrs. J. J. Weil. Miss Mary Curtis captured the 
eup, going through the obstacles in 27 seconds, knock- 
ing down one, and hitting one other. Miss Eleanora 
Sears went through the obstacles with more speed, but 
she knocked down two of the obstacles. 
In the saddle class Dr. A. H. Fitch’s Betsey B., with 
Arthur Mason up, took the cup after a very close de- 
ision over The Duke, owned by Miss EH. F. Kelley of 
Cohasset and ridden by Miss Margaret Manning. The 
horses were called out two or three times for comparison. 
Miss Leslie Bradley on Cingolee took the yellow and 
Mrs. J. J. Weil on Mr. Kilpatrick’s Dewey 2d, took 
fourth. 
TAKING THE LAST HURDLE IN THE HURDLE RACE. 
The harness horses, such as are used by North Shore 
families, was another pretty class. Miss Eleanora Sears 
took the cup in this class and Mrs. J. J. Weil second. 
Miss Evelyn Curtis won the third place in a very at- 
tractive hitch, and Miss Mary Curtis fourth. 
The jumping as usual was a very exciting and spec- 
tacular class. Miss Mary Curtis and George Chipchase 
were called back by the judges for a try-off for first 
and on the first time over the bars both horses ticked. 
The second time over Miss Curtis took the bars very 
easily without touching, Chipchase on Sapolia ticking 
the last jump. D. B. Wentz’s High Flyer took the third 
and D. M. Waller’s Bad Enough, ridden by Mr. Tucker- 
man, fourth. 
’ The race for galloways was a pretty one. George 
Chipchase entered a chestnut pony and a bay mare, 
riding the latter himself. Dudley Davenport mounted 
the other. The horses came up the beach neck and

neck Davenport pushing his mount ahead a winner. S. 
H. Fessenden’s Darkey finished third. 
The flat race was won by William Henry on High 
Order, and George Chipchase on his bay mare took se- 
cond money. D. H. Hostetter took third again. 
The hurdle race was the last number on the program. 
This is the race in which the accident occurred. Will- 
iam Henry on High Order took first money, and Robert 
Whigham on George Hicks’ Della Plains took the red, 
while D. B. Wentz came in third. 
The committee in charge of the show was composed 
of Frederick Bonner, Horace R. Morehead and Charles
