North Shore Whip Finished Second 
in World’s Coaching Race. 
J. Harry Coulter of Boston, the 
well known North Shore riding and 
driving’ master, has protested the 
award in the world’s coaching 
race, which ‘opened the  Nation- 
al Horse Show. at New York, 
and “in which he ~ finished - se- 
cond, and was disqualified by the 
___ NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
ything was claimed 
_by, decendents until we see as Byron says— 
judges. The arbiters claimed that 
Coulter was assisted over the course 
of nine and four-tenths miles from 
Arrowhead Inn to Madison Square 
Garden, and violated what they 
claim to have been a ‘‘gentleman’s 
agreement’’. 
Coulter’s  four-in-hand _ horses, 
harnessed to the coach Happy Days, 
familiar to all North Shore visitors, 
and which had the words ‘‘ Magnolia 
to Beverly’’ painted on the rear pan- 
el, finished second. There is no dis- 
pute as to that, but there is a serious 
disagreement as to what were the 
terms of agreement governing the 
race. ’ 
When the racing hour arrived 
Paul A. Sorg and Alfred G. Vander- 
bilt announced that a change of 
drivers would not be allowed, and 
claimed to have had a conference 
with Coulter, who had seemingly 
agreed. Morris Howlett, the New 
York, London and Paris whip, who 
accompaniedCoulter upon the coach, 
together with H. Brown, W. Coul- 
ter, J. J. Grewicky and S. J. Miller, 
objected, and asked Coulter if he had 
agreed to his stipulation, and the 
latter replied that he had not. 
And now to further complicate 
matters comes Ben Riley, the donor 
of the championship -eup for the 
race, and says that the changing of 
drivers is one of the conditions of 
the contest and that there are ab- 
solutely no grounds for Coulter’s 
disqualification. And as if matters 
were not sufficiently complicated, 
Coulter’s friends came to the front 
and declare that the drivers were 
changed on Howlett’s coach last year 
and that he was not disqualified. 
And finally comes Coulter with a 
protest against the Paul A. Sorg 
four-in-hand, and claims that Wil- 
liam Grant, the driver upon the 
Sorg coach, gave over the reins dur- 
ing the race to Frank E. Palmer. 
Everyone who went over from 
Boston to see the race agrees the 
coaching joust was one of the finest 
bits of amateur sport seen in many a 
day. Fort Washington avenue and 
Broadway held immense ~ crowds, 
who lined the pavements to see the 
getaway and Riveiside Drive also 
held an immense concourse of peo- 
ple. It was here Sorg and Coulter 
showed their skill in a merry drive

al infirmities may run in the family, with of course 
«such honors and achievements which may be reflected 
-upon @ name and to which they are duly entitled.

At McGovern’s Tavern Coulter 
and Sorg were even, and twenty-five 
yards from the inn Coulter took the

Just beyond this point Coulter’s 
right leader of the four horses broke 
down and two stops were necessary, 
which lost to Coulter the race.
