Lawson Horses Triumph at Whitney Estate Show
On September 18 at Cohasset on the Whitney estate, Thomas W. Lawson led a Lawson display to top prizes over rivals Henry M. Whitney and Clarence W. Barron. Lawson stables won a high stepping class and a family-horse class as Lawson girls appeared in public with their mother’s memory felt in the rival social circle. The event, a Bonnie Iris Fresh Air Fund benefit, drew prominent society figures and signaled renewed competition between the two financier families.
