NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
PRESIDENT AT HORSE-SHOW 
Watches Events with Interest and Presents 
Cups to the Winners. Some Others There. 
The presence of the President, and the 
wealth, fashion and best horsemanship of 
all the North Shore, with an abundance 
of good nature on the part of the Weath- 
er Man all went together to make the 
annual open air horseshow of the Myopia 
Hunt club on Labor Day the greatest 
event of its kind ever held on the Shore. 
The President was a big drawing card; 
but not more so than the large list of 
thoroughbreds which were shown, some 
of which were cup and ribbon winners in 
the big international show at London last 
Spring. 
Some of the stables showing their fine 
bloods were those of Judge William H. 
Moore of Pride’s, Herbert D. Hestetter, 
T. G. Rice, H. P. McKean, George S. 
Mandell, F. H. Prince, Dr. S. A. Hop- 
kins, Dudley P. Rogers, EL. Dresel, 
and Walter Denegre. 
The assemblage at the show was the 
most brilliant in years. Besides the Pres- 
ident, Secretary of the Navy George von 
L. Meyer was there, and Secretary of 
the Interior Richard A. Ballinger, Gov- 
ernor Draper and Lieut.-Governor Louis 
Frothingham, the Marquis and Mar- 
chioness de Montagliari of the Italian 
embassy and many other foreign dip- 
lomats. 
The scene of action was the polo field 
and the meet was started at 10.30 
o clock. The first event, the jumpers 
for junior riders, had 12 entrants. “wo 
of the ponies were ridden by ladies, 
Miss Alice Thorndike on Jack Rabbit 
and Miss Anna Agassiz on Headlight. 
First prize went to C. G. Rice’s Ma- 
hogany, a brown gelding, which took 
his obstacles with easy grace and cleared 
all barriers with plenty of space at first 
attempt. Wrenn and Small, two bay 
geldings entered by George S. Mandell 
were second and third. 
Frederick Hostetter’s chestnut mare 
Skidoo was first in the second class, the 
saddle horses for junior riders. Second 
ribbon was won by C. G. Rice’s Dolly 
Gray and Miss Alice Thorndike on Jack 
Rabbit took third. 
The hunting class was one of the most 
interesting events. [he prize was the 
Abbott cup, and the entrants numbered 
7. Colette, a bay mare owned and ridden 
by S. P. Mandell, 2d, won the cup and 
second and third honors went respective- 
ly to C. G. Rice’s Malone and Traveler. 
Miss Elise Ames’ Laelia won the 
prize in the class for ‘saddle horses, F. 
C. Hostetter’s Skidoo was second and 
E. L. Dresel’s Asa Jewell was third. 
‘The best jumping of the day was seen 
in class five. Here Buckthorn won 
first place, with E. L. ‘Dresel’s Felspar 
second and F. H. Prince’s ‘Tartane 
third. | 
These events took up the morning 
‘Beverly in his automobile. 
and at noon an adjournment for lunch 
was made. ‘The first thing on the after- 
noon program were the Masters’ chal- 
lenge events and these, begun at 2 
o’ clock, were just in progress when the 
President arrived. He came over from 
His machine 
was recognized far up the road and, as 
he swung into the field and the whisper 
was passed along that the President had 
arrived, the band left off the tune it was 
playing and began the “‘ Star-Spangled 
Banner.’’ With the first bar, off went 
every hat and a cheer arose. 
The Masters’ challenge event, the 
most important of the day, was won by 
S. P. Mandell, 2d. The cup was pre- 
sented by President Taft. Second~hon- 
ors went to L. D. Ahl’s Reparation and 
third to F. H. Prince’s Hogan. 
This ended the strictly competitive 
events, but there were other numbers of 
a mirthful nature that were carried out 
in very amusing style. One was called 
‘““Goingto Jerusalem”? and 24 horses 
and riders took part. By a series of 
amusing tests, this number was gradually 
cut down until but one remained, H. 
P. McKean, jr., and he was declared 
the winner. Dudley Rogers was sec- 
ond, and Miss Maria D. Agassiz, the 
last woman to remain inthe competition, 
was third. 
About 4 o’clock the President de- 
parted. A previous engagement would 
not permit him to stay and see an innova- 
tion at Myopia—pushball. Witha ball 
five feet in diameter, two teams of three 
men each finished the day’s sport. The 
contest was finally decided a tie. The 
teams were Harry Tweed, F. S. Von 
Stade and L. A. Shaw; Bayard Tucker- 
man, Charles Appleton and _ Cotton 
Smith. 
The committee having the day and 
games in charge comprised Gerard 
Bement, Walter D. Denegre, George 
S. Mandell, Dudley P. Rogers and 
William H. Seabury. The judges were 
Col. Samuel D. Parker, H. P. McKean 
and Dr. S. A. Hopkins. °

1 # Soriviy Notes « & 
Dr. Charles E. Inches and family, 
who have been at the Ward cottage, 
Sea’street, Manchester, the last month 
or so, are leaving next week for their 
country estate at Medfield. 
Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Abbott went 
to Newport today for a short stay. 
Among the many large yachts on the 
North Shore the last week was the Vik- 
ing, the beautiful large steamer owned 
by George F. Baker, jr., of New York, 
which stopped at Marlehead for a few 
days. During his visit to Marblehead 
Mr. Baker entertained several luncheon 
-and dinner parties on board the Viking.

tained at one of these informal functions. — 
Handicraft Shop for the Blind. 
The Handicraft Shop for the Blind on 
the Village Green at Manchester ends 
its second season Saturday, September 
11th. - 
In closing regret is felt that the quaint 
little shop, which has been the Man- 
chester summer home forthe work of 
the blind during the past two years, will 
not be available another season, as it is 
to be removed this fall. It is hoped, 
however, to secure other accommoda- 
tions in the neighborhood another sum- 
mer, so that the Handicraft Shop may 
remain in the vicinity of its kind and 
helpful patrons. 
The work of the blind as demonstra- 
ted and exhibited in this little shop has 
found many warm friends among the 
North Shore colony, and its reception 
there has been encouraging to those who 
so earnestly desire to further the welfare 
of the sightless. 
After this week, the headquarters for 
selling the articles made by the blind will 
be at 383 Boylston street, Boston. 
In closing, the directors wish to ex- 
tend their most hearty thanks and ac- 
knowledgments to one and all of the 
kind friends who have in many ways, 
aided in making it possible for the shop 
to become so successful.
