MYOPIA HORSE SHOW BIG SUCCESS. 
Annual Event Well Attended and Much Interest Shown 
Despite Inclement Weather. 
The annual gymkhana, hack and hunter show of the 
Myopia Hunt club at Hamilton Labor Day proved a big 
drawing card for North Shore people, despite the in- 
clement tendencies of the weather. The attendance, of 
course, was not as large as it would have been had the 
day been fair. The rain held off acecommodatingly and 
the footing was just right for the jumpers. The gym- 
khana events and the jumping classes divided honors 
for popularity. 
The gymkhana events provided the fun of the day, as 
might have been expected, but the jumping attracted 
the greatest attention, for it was of the highest class 
with big fields competing. This was especially the case 
ir. the special jumping classes, in which there were 
thirty-eight entries. The first jump was a four-foot 
stone wall, the second, sheep hurdles four and a 
half feet in height, the third a four-foot fence of solid 
planking and the last an improvised ‘‘Liverpoor.’’ In 
this the guard rail was set five feet away from a four- 
foot jump, the space between being filled with brush. 
On the first time over the course twelve of the entries 
made practically perfect performances and the judges 
were compelled to send them over once more. A bar 
was added to the ‘‘Liverpool’’ jump, making it four 
feet, six inches in height. On this second performance 
&*he judges made their awards, the blue ribbon going to 
S. P. Mandell, 2d’s, chestnut gelding First Mate. 
The gymkhana events included ‘‘going to Jerusa- 
lem,’’ two push ball games—one for women and one 
for men—and two obstacle races. 
The judges of hunters were Captain Charles F. G. 
Sowerby, attaché of the British legation; Thomas G. 
Frothingham and F. Ambrose Clarke. Judging the 
saddle classes were H. P. MeKean and Gerard Bement. 
F. B. Fay refereed and Dr. Souther timed the gymkhana 
events. The general committee in charge of the day was 
composed of Dudley P. Rogers, Gerard Bement, George 
S. Mandell, W. D. Denegre and William H. Seabury.

NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
BIG NORTH SHORE POULTRY CO. INCORPORATED 
To Cater to Needs of North Shore People, Furnishing 
Broilers, Chickens, Eggs, and Other Poultry Products. 
The North Shore Poultry Co. is the latest concern tu 
organize for commercial business along the North 
Shore, and as far as we know it is the only concern in- 
~corporated to cater to the ever increasing demand for 
poultry products along the North Shore. ‘The com- 
pany has been incorporated within the last week or two 
aud its officers are Winslow F. Story, president; F. 8. 
Lycett, vice-president, and Clifford B. Story, secretary 
and treasurer all of Magnolia. The office of the com- 
pany will be at 124 Magnolia avenue, Magnolia, for the 
time being. 4 
The company has secured twenty acres of land on the 
state highway, between Magnolia and Gloucester, and 
will at once enter into the business of raising chickens 
and other poultry products on a large scale. The land 
has a frontage of 2,000 feet on the highway, is for the 
most part on high land, with a beautiful brook running — 
through it and is admirably adapted for this purpose. 
We understand the new concern has secured an op- 
tion on the Magnolia Poultry Farm, and may later pur- 
chase it; in fact, the company is really the outgrowth 
of this latter business, which has grown and developed 
beyond proportions since its inception five or six years 
ago by the men who are at the head of the new company. 
There is probably no better market for broilers, 
chickens, fresh eggs, ete., in any other locality of the 
size in the country, during five or six months of the year, 
than right here on the North Shore, between Bass Rocks 
aud Beverly, and after doing business on a small seale 
for nearly six years the movers in the concern are sat- 
isfied of the need of going into it on a larger scale. 
It is the intention of the new concern to install a 
6,000-egg Hall incubator and they will take care of the 
great demand for day-old chicks, conducting this end 
of the business on a sort of public hatchery style. 
Eventually they plan to earry 5,000 layers and 25,000 
chicks yearly. 
They will have agencies in all the North Shore towns.
