M YOR HUNT CLUB’S twentieth annual open-air 
. horse show held at Hamilton Monday was attended 
by one of the largest gatherings that ever turned out for 
this popular Labor Day fixture. The program extended 
over morning and afternoon. Ten classes were carded 
for the program, supplemented with an interesting offer- 
ing of gymkhana events and topped off with a dashing 
polo game to complete the entertainment of the thousands 
who came from all along the North Shore. The show 
was staged on the practice polo field, and in the afternoon, 
when the crowd was the largest, it was fringed a dozen 
deep on all four. sides, presenting a stricking picture of 
life and color.. Around the field there were probably 500 
motor,cars parked. Here and there were smart-looking 
horses.-attached to smart-looking equipages. There was 
plenty of competition especially in the classes for hunters. 
Everything was run off in clock-work order. There was a 
pretty even division of the blues, reds, yellows and re- 
serve ribbons and the judges had a difficult time in pick- 
ing the winners, especially in the hunters. There were 
comparatively few women riders during the day. Two of 
the largest entry lists were missing yesterday, those of 
Charles G. Rice, owing to the death of a relative, and 
those of George S. Mandell because of the illness of his 
brother. The judges were Francis H. Peabody, Jr., and 
Dr. S. A. Hopkins for the polo ponies and Charles 5. 
Bird, Jr., of Walpole; Henry W. Bull of the Meadow- 
brook Country club and John P. Bowditch of Framing- 
ham for the hunters. The show was in charge of a com- 
mittee of the Myopia Hunt club, consisting of James W. 
Appleton, Frederick J. Alley, H. P. McKean, Jr., Bayard 
Tuckerman, Jr., Ellis L. Dresel and Thomas G. Frothing- 
ham, Jr. One of the features of the jumping events was 
the splendid performance of Royal Oak, a black gelding 
owned by Frederick J. Alley of the Myopia Hunt club. 
Royal Oak is 23 years old and Mr. Alley has hunted him 
for seventeen seasons and today he is just as strong as 
ever. Monday he won third prize in the class for quali- 
fied hunters up to 200 pounds. Misses Elise Ames and 
Miss Julia Appleton won ribbons during the afternoon 
and the awards proved popular. In the Master’s chal- 
lenge cup, the event for the best hunter owned by a mem- 
ber of the Myopia Hunt club, George von L. Meyer, just 
home from Europe came over from Rock Maple farm, 
with his daughter, Miss Julia Meyer, just in time to see 
the judges award the blue ribbon to his hunter, Leminton. 
Just before the gymkhana events were started, Judge 
William H. Moore drove over the field behind a team of 
four grays, with the bugler winding the hunting calls as 
the black and yellow coach passed before the admiring 
gaze of thousands. On the box with Judge Moore was 
George Howard of Washington. Roger Sturgis of Bos- 
ton also rode on the coach. The gymkhana events were 
funmakers, Miss Joan Whitney, daughter-of Mr. and Mrs. 
Payne Whitney, winning the going to Jerusalem, or mu- 
sical stalls event, while Charles Appleton’s team won the 
push ball game, the only goal being scored just after the 
big ball was put in play. Arranging for the surprise ob- 
stacle race, the committeemen had to contend with a brisk 
breeze blowing over the field which ripped the paper walls 
through which the entrants were to send their mounts

A luncheon was given at the Essex County club 
Tuesday by some twenty-five of those who recently play- 
ed in the golf tournament and attended the luncheon 
given by Dr. J. H. Lancashire of Manchester. The 
luncheon was incidental to a golf tournament, which was 
one of the events of the day. Those who arranged the 
affair planned it also as an acknowledgement of Dr. 
Lancashire’s interest in promoting golf events, including 
his presentation of prize cups. To make the occasion 
memorable, his friends presented Dr. Lancashire with a 
beautiful loving cup. In behalf of those present and con- 
cerned in the gift, the presentation was made by Richard 
H. Dana, and in addition to Dr. Lancashire’s brief speech 
of acknowledgement of the honor shown him, William J. 
Boardman and others spoke informally.
