NORTEL SHORE BREEZE 
COACHING MARATHON. 
Judge Moore’s Famous North Shore 
Four the Favorites for Inter- 
national Horse Show. 
Through the courtesy of the stew- 
ards of the International horse show, 
to be held at the Olympia, London, 
June 6-16, 1 have just received the 
details of the world’s coaching 
Marathon, and am-very pleased to 
announce that the great coaching 
four of our North Shore, and owned 
by Judge William H. Moore of 
Pride’s Crossing, are the favorites 
for the event,:in which the greatest 
of the world’s coaching horses are 
to be the competitors, over the 
famous bit of road from Windsor 
palace to the arena of the Olympia, 
says ‘‘Doec’’ Stanley in the Boston 
Traveler. 
The task of selecting four coach 
horses suited for the international 
Marathon, and which developed up- 
on George Chipchase, manager of 
Judge Moore’s stable, has been a 
most prodigious task, and the result 
can best be declared by the fact that 
the manager offers to make,a wager 
of $10,000, with Judge Moore’s per- 
mission, that the four as finally se- 
lected by him ean carry a regulation 
coach over the road upon a meas- 
ured route at the rate of 14 miles an 
hour. 
It is a matter of serious question, 
if in the history of the coaching 
horse in America, there has_ ever: 
been -a more conscientious effort 
made to select a four, that would 
fittingly represent America in the 
world’s Marathon, than that made 
by George Chipchase in behalf of 
Judge Moore. It was early deter- 
mined to spare. no possible expense 
in making the selection of the horses, 
which should be of the-finest type 
of the American trotter, and. with a 
confirmation -sufficient to withstand 
the gruelling drive of 25 miles over 
the stiff bit of English road. 
The horses for Judge Moore have 
finally been chosen, and our 
North Shore Coach 
will be the center of interestsduring 
the second week in June, when the 
start is made from the historie home 
of King Edward, at Windsor éatsle, 
for the Olympia. bes. Stray 
I have looked into the breeding of 
the trotting horses who will com- 
pete for our popular North Shore 
patron, and have no hesitaney in 
saying that. nothing finer has ever 
been chosen in the history of the 
coaching horses in America. 
The near leader upon the Moore 
coach will be the chestnut mare, 
-PRESIDENT’S YACHT TO USE MANCHESTER LANDING. 
The Breeze has come in possession 
of information, which would indi- 
cate that plans are-being made by 
the Navy Department to use Man- 
chester the coming season as a land- 
ing place for the Mayflower, Presi- 
dent Taft’s private yacht. Letters 
have been sent the various contrac- 
tors in Boston asking about supply- 
ing the Mayflower with food sup- 
plies, ete., this year, and asking what 
avrangements could be made for 
such through Manchester. We com- 
munieated with Capt. Fremont of 
the Navy yard in Charlestown, and 
were informed that arrangements of 
this kind did not come through his 
office, but would be handled direct- 
ly from Washington. We saw a let- 
ter written to one of the firms who 
have the contract to supply .certain 
food stuffs to the government ships 
when in these waters, and this letter 
made inquiries about handling the 
supphes through Manchester as a 
base. 
This will mean considerable to 
Myrtle Belle (2.22 3-4), by Marble 
City, he a son of Allandorf (2.19 
1-2), he by Onward, and she is out 
of a dam by Lord \vellhington, a son 
of Cuyler. Her mate, as the off lead- 
er, will be the gray trotting gelding, 
Advanee Guard, by Guardsman 
(2.23 1-2), he-~a--son of Aleyone 
(2.07), whose claim was the coe of 
Allandorf. 
The wheelers upon the sain will 
be, near horse, the gray gelding 
Ranger, by Manager, he a son of 
Nutwood (2.18 3-4), and the gray 
mare Lady. Gray, by Pilot Medium, 
sire of the world’s famous New Eng-™ 
land sire, Peter the Great (2.07 1-4), 
the passing of whom from New Eng- 
land was a blot which we can never 
fully recover from. : 
I note that the average height of 
the Moore coaching four is 16 hands 
1 inch for the wheelers, and 15 
hands, 3 inches for the leaders. 
Judge Moore, one of the finest 
sportsmen in the history of this 
country, will carry the well wishes 
of a great host of North Shore peo- 
ple, as well as those of thousands of 
patrons of the riding and driving 
horse, in his very generous expendi- 
ture of money to secure a coaching 
four that would win the world’s 
proudest honors in the international 
Joust. 
No. The milky way was not caus- 
ed by the cow jumping over the 
moon. 
Manchester if the arrangement we 
Lave outlined is carried out. Man- 
chester is better located than any 
other town along the North Shore 
for docking, from ships along the 
shore. The pubhe landing at. Mas- 
conomo Park would be the one used 
in all probability, by the launches 
from the government ship. It is 
within 200 yards of the railroad sta- 
tion and freight yard and also the 
\Western Union office and post-office. 
The offices at Beverly are more than _ 
half a mile away from any landing 
which could be obtained 
same is true of Beverly Farms. Man- 
chester is, by all means, the best 
adapted for this purpose. 
The Breeze will be able to give 
more information on this matter 
later. Our information at the pres- 
ent time is not based on rumor. «It 
is based on a letter, which we have 
seen, 
tion we could get from the navy- 
yard authorities.
