HORSE SHOW. 
Most Successful Event of the Kind 
Ever Held at Magnolia. 
More than two thousand people 
crowded the bathing pavilions and 
the one hundred boxes specially con- 
structed, to see the annual Magnolia 
Horse show on the beach Thursday 
afternoon. Summer cottagers and 
their friends from all sections of the 
North Shore and hotel guests, made 
up the throng. The weather condi- 
tions were ideal, the rain holding off 
until night. 
The show was the most successful 
ever conducted at Magnoha. There 
were ten classes and all of the 
classes were better filled than ever 
before. For the most part the en- 
tries were made by members of the 
summer colony, or by their stable- 
men or grooms. 
Miss Eleanora Sears, her face 
swollen from the effects of poison 
ivy, was in nearly all the classes. 
She won a cup and a number of rib- 
bons. Mrs. Tom Pierce made her 
first appearance in horse-dom on the 
North Shore for several years, and 
she showed that she has much of 
her old-time spirit left. She took 
several ribbons. Miss Alice Thorn- 
dike, Miss Mary Curtis, Miss Eliza- 
beth Bigelow and Miss Frances 
Bradley each took a cup and several 
ribbons. 
The show was run under the 
management of J. Henry Coulter, 
the riding master, and it is to Mr. 
Coulter’s credit that the affair was 
conducted this year in more ship- 
shape than ever before. The beach 
was lined off, canvas closing in two 
sides of the ‘‘ring.’’ A score board 
erected in front of the pavilion gave 
a decided horse show and ‘‘track’’ 
touch to the affair. Mr. Coulter was 
the announcer and starter, and he 
ran off the classes without the least 
wait. Before one class was off, the 
next was on; and thus the whole 
show was run. 
We understand, too, the show was 
a financial success, which has not al- 
ways been the case. The Oceanside 
management virtually has charge of 
‘these shows, but Mr. Warren turned 
practically everything over to Mr. 
Coulter this year. 
George S. Mandell, Herbert L. 
Camp, Dr. Samuel Hopkins and Dr. 
A. Hi. Fitch were the judges. 
Off the beach were a score or more 
vachts and pleasure boats, some of 
them dressed in holiday colors, and 
on the opposite side of the beach 
which served as a track, was the pa- 
vilion thronged with smartly gowned 
girls and matrons. 
Among the box holders, many of 
whom entertained friends, were: 
Herbert L. Camp and party, George 
E. Carter, William P. Palmer, Geo. 
H. Crocker and party, Miss E. C.

The children’s saddle class was 
the first called, for riding cobs or 
ponies 15 hands or under, to be rid- 
den by children under sixteen years 
of age. Carlton Quality, owned by 
George Chipchase, and ridden by 
Robert Graham, won the Hesperus 
cup, offered by Mrs. C. G. Francis of 
The Hesperus. Taffy, a handsome 
brown mare owned by J. H. Collins 
of Boston, won second and Master- 
piece, owned by M. F. Murphy, and 
ridden by Frank Crocker, took the 
yellow. The white ribbon in this 
class went to Gee-Whiz, a beauty ht- 
tle gray gelding owned by J. J. 
Nugent of Beverly Farms, and rid- 
den by Mrs. Tom Pierce, though the 
rider did not very well fit as regards 
the age limit. 
The runabout horse class ‘was 
called second. Miss Eleanora Sears 
won the handsome cup offered by J. 
Henry Coulter. She drove Maurice 
Dimond’s King of the East, a horse 
with perfect action. Miss Margraet 
Curry won the red ribbon, Miss Ruth 
Anthony, the very attractive young 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. Reed 
Anthony of Boston, driving Cigar- 
ette, the yellow, and little Miss Mir- 
iam Hostetter, fourth. 
The cup offered in the thorough- 
bred saddle class was won by Geo. 
Chipechase with Consin Francis, a 
six-year-old mare. This class called 
for thoroughbreds or three-quarter- 
bred horses, such as used for park 
hacks; to be judged for confirma- 
tion, pace and manners; shown at 
walk, trot and canter. Chipchase 
had another entry. a handsome bay 
gelding, Sapolio, ridden by Count, 
Picalillis. The judges gave this en- 
try the red ribbon. Joseph Collins’ 
Debutante took third and Miss Alice 
Thorndike’s Roderick Random, won 
the white. Other entries were M. M. 
Dimond’s Kentucky Model, ridden 
by Miss Eleanora Sears; and Prin- 
cess Alma, a black mare owned and 
ridden by W. H. Coolidge, Jr. 
The all around combination horses 
was an interesting class. The horses 
were shown first in harness, then un- 
harnessed and saddled in ring; 
shown as a hack and then twice over 
two jumps, the first a post rail and 
the second a brush jump, three feet 
high. Robert 8S. Bradley entered 
Woodside, ridden by George Hicks, 
his footman. This entry took the 
handsome cup offered by the asso- 
ciation. The gallery thought F. H. 
Hostetter’s Skidoo was the best at 
the jumps, but the judges awarded 
it the second place only, and George 
Chipchase’s Sapolio took the third. 
Miss Phyllis Sears driving Miss 
Alice Thorndike’s second entry in 
this class, Roderick Random, took 
the white ribbon. Other entries 
were Mrs. Tom Pierce’s Ironsides, 
Miss Alice Thorndike’s Iron Duke, 
Miss Mary Curtis, Red-wings and M. 
F. Murphy’s Homestead. 
The saddle class brought out the 
largest filled class of the show. 
There were thirteen entries, and only 
two of these were scratched. Chip- 
chase’s Cousin Francis took the cup 
offered by W. D. N. Perine of New 
York, and J. F. Collins’ Debutante 
took second honor. Chipchase’s 
Sapolio was awarded the yellow 
ribbon and Miss Elizabeth Bigelow, 
riding Maurice Dimond’s Lady 
Lightfoot took fourth. Other en- 
tries included Robert S. Bradley’s 
Woodside, Miss Ruth Anthony’s Cig- 
arette, W. H. Coolidge’s Dandy, M. 
M. Dimond’s Kentucky Model, 
Queen of Hearts, owned by Charles 
Mason and ridden by Miss Eleanora 
Sears and Perfection of Motion, 
owned by Mr. Mason. The horses 
were judged for confirmation, gait 
and manners and were shown at 
walk, trot and canter. 
One of the prettiest classes of the 
day was the harness horses, show- 
ing single horses such as kept for 
family use, hitched to appropriate 
vehicle. Action, confirmation, speed 
and manners were considered. Miss 
Francis Bradley of Boston won the 
cup in this class with her chestnut 
velding, Yale, and Miss Margaret 
Curry took the red ribbon; Mrs. Paul 
Hunt, George Potter driving, took 
the yellow, and Miss Marion Maher 
of Roanoke, Va., driving J. H. Coul- 
ter’s Fortune Hunter took fourth. 
Others entered were Mrs. Tom
