September 26, 1913: Sixteenth annual Horse Show of the Morristown Field Club, Morristown, New Jersey. Children's section.

New York Times, September 26, 1913: "Amateurs were in the lead yesterday at the opening session of the sixteenth annual horse show of the Morristown Field Club, which was held on the organization's enclosure at Morristown, N. J. With stands filled and the parking spaces preempted with scores of automobiles the affair quite kept up its former standing as a medium to attract hundreds of people well known in society. ............................................................................................ "One of the classes which took with spectators was the pony jumping, the entries being ridden by children over brush jumps. Josephine Jenks of Mt. Kemble, Morristown, carried off the palm with her mother's black mare, Frills, a 12.3 pony, which went at the barriers like a steeplechaser and carried her youthful rider to a somewhat easy victory."

I am assuming we are still in the 1913 tranche. But here is Dora Voight in 1916 at the Morristown, New Jersey show: Riders Injured At Morristown Show. Two Serious Accidents Mar the Opening of Field Club's Annual Exhibition. Source: New York Times; September 29, 1916 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9C04E5DD143BE633A...

A Mrs William P Jenks of Morristown won second place at the September 1913 show for ponies under saddle, according to NYT of September 28, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950CE0D8163DE633A... and NYT of September 26, 1913 query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9905E2D9163DE633A... notes that Miss Dora W. Voight of Green Village, NJ, won the ponies in harness class (presumably what we are seeing here).

Very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
