MAGNOLIA HORSE SHOW 
Most Successful of Years. Society 
Attended Event in Large Num 
bers. Miss Bigelow Wins 
Three Trophies. 
The Magnolia Horse-Show—that 
keenest rival of the show at New- 
port—was carried out with the great- 
est success on Crescent Beach, Mag- 
nolia, last Wednesday afternoon. So- 
ciety attended from all along the 
Shore—many from the most aristo- 
eratic houses in America, while the 
boxes and the grand-stand seats 
were completely filled by the New 
York, Washington, Chicago -and 
Pittsburg fashionables who are liv- 
ing at the Oceanside Hotel. 
The coming of the fashion—ai- 
ways the crowning glory of the 
horse-show—was largely the cesult 
of the weather. Save for a wind, 
that, at times, had a touch of cold 
in it, the day was ideal—tvpieally 
a sunshiny August day. On _ the 
eard there was every kind of an 
event to make the show attractive-— 
the driving and saddle classes for 
men and women, the jumps and the 
hurdles and four races that weuld 
he hard to beat. 
The hard sand of the beach served 
as the ring for the show events in 
the early afternoon and later when 
the races were on and the tide had 
receded the long stretch of beach 
served as a track. Off the beach were 
numerous yachts and smaller craft in 
holiday dress, on which merry 
parties of people watched the show 
and added their applause to that of 
the oallerv on the beach. It was 
an ideal setting. Mr. H. G. Curry’s 
‘area yacht was among the craft off 
the beach. ‘ 
The two daughters of Governor 
Bose the Foss twins,—Hsther and 
Tlelen—were among those taking 
ynart in the show, and winning cups. 
The +wo daughters of Secretary of 
the Navv George von I.. Mever,— 
Misses Alvs and Julia von Mever 
were also among the participants.

Phvllis Sears and Miss Mary Cur- 
tis were other prize winners. 
The eombination class.—horses in 
harness, then unharnessed and shown 
in ring, was the first called. Ladv

The children’s saddle class was a 
very pretty feature. The little Miss

youngest rider in the show, took the 
cup in the first division, with her

of Pittsburg, young son of Mr. and 
Mrs. W. Harry Brown, won the see-
