The Chicago Equestrian Association Its History and Aims FEW organizations can point to so interesting a rec- ord of work accomplished for the public good as may the Chicago Equestrian Association. When the horseback rider of today is enjoying the many miles of wonderful bridle path in and aroimd Chicago little does he realize how great a debt he owes to this pioneer equestrian association for its share in making riding an unadulterated pleasure of health and recreation. It was during the fall of 1908 that The Chicago Eques- trian Association came into existence when a little group of enthusiastic horsemen met one autumn day at the Red Star Inn and elected the first officers of the organization. This little group consisted of some of the city's leading horse-lovers, as will be apparent from a glance at the officers elected at that historic meeting. These were: President, George P. Nichols; Vice-President, Miss Astrid S. Rosing; Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. Charles Spencer Williamson; Directors, Fred W. Upham, Frank S. Pea- body, William Wrigley, Jr., John S. Hummer, James Pease and John A. Duncan. The growth of the association has exceeded even the most sanguine expectations of the organizers, for today the membership numbers nearly five hundred enthusiastic horseback riders of both sexes. Membership in the asso- ciation implies more than a mere interest in "man's best friend"; nearly all of the members ride and ride fre- quently. They have kept the sport alive as has no other similar organization of which the city can boast. John Hertz, Vice-President C Groverman Ellis, Secretary-Treasurer Those who know the Association know that it is a miU- tant organization. It has an objective — goes after it — gets there. Particularly has this been true during the past two years. For 1919 and 1920 have been active years full of work acconiphshed by the organization. In good fellowship the Association has been blessed with unusual good fortune. The activities of the entire roster of members have been well attended and productive of much co-operation and good will. Nmnerous rides and dinner dances have been given at Dexter Park Pavilion and at the Saddle and Sirloin Club. At the annual din- ner and dance held at the Sherman House on February 5th more than 300 members were in attendance. The speeches on that occasion were unusually interest- ing to all lovers of the horse. Some of the speakers, and the subjects they discussed were: General Milton J. Fore- man, who spoke on "The Horse in War," Mr. Albert W Harris, whose subject was "The 300 Mile Endurance Test,' Mr. James W. Scott, President of Northwestern University who made an exceedingly enjoyable and humorous ad dress, and Mr. Thomas E. Wilson, one of our most prom inent members and directors, who spoke both interest ingly and well. Colonel Chaxuicey B. Baker, represent ing Major General Leonard A. Wood, talked on "The Army Horse." One bit of excellent advice he gave is well worth recalling when we survey the work the Asso- ciation has accomplished. He said: "Let the Chicago Equestrian Association find ovit exactly what it wants to do and then do it." After this historic meeting and the installation of of- ficers the members and their guests were entertained by their most recent new member, Sidney Smith, who drew a number of pictures of the members on horseback. Miss Grace Billings, daughter of one of our members, very delightfully entertained us with a song. The evening terminated with a thoroughly enjoyable dance at which everyone had a good time. Another important event was the musical costume ride given by the Association at Dexter Park Pavilion on the evening of November 16th. While this was a distinct in- novation in the way of entertaining, a wonderfully en- joyable evening was spent by the more than hundred riders who participated. So unique was this affair that the International Fihn Service and Underwood and Un- derwood, the International Photographers, deemed it of sufficient importance to have photographs and moving pictures taken of the event. The latter were shown throughout the country. The "ride" on this occasion began early in the evening with a light lunch served upon tables erected upon stilts so that the riders could partake of the viands without dismounting. Photographs of this ride and feature are made a part of this Year Book. After the ride a splendid dinner was enjoyed in the ball room of the Stock Yards' Inn, where more than 200 partook of the repast set before them. This was a dinner dance which enabled members to enjoy themselves thoroughly both during and after the ••■^^ meal. It is referred to in detail here as being typical of the good times enjoyed by the Association when its mem- bers get together. Let us consider now the work accomplished by the Association and its aims for the future. Largely through jkj the efforts of its officers bridle paths have been extended ^W and added to the South and North Park systems. Thus we find that the total mileage of bridle paths in Lincoln Park is about 11. Other paths in this park are under construction, and still more have been recommended by the Lincoln Park board. J. K. Dering Director Chairman, Horse Show Committee Francis S. Peabody, Director On the South Side the same good work has been going on, due to the efforts of the Association. The total mileage of bridle paths in Washington Park now numbers 2%, while Jackson Park has 4 miles. It can be safely said that no city in this country or Europe has more and better bridle paths than those of Chicago. If the Chicago Equestrian Association is given the sup- port and the encouragement it has enjoyed in the past Chicago will soon head the list of cities in these respects: It wiU have the finest and most representative Equestrian Club in the United States, more miles of bridle paths in its park system than any other city, and a comprehensive system of paths connecting the South, North and West Park Systems with the Forest Preserve, and a bridle path in the new additions to the South Park System. Also, with the completion of the Lake Front Park Chicago will have a wonderful bridle path connecting Grant Park with Jackson Park and a bridle path linking the North Park System with Grant Park. At present the activities of the Association are two-fold. They are directed toward increasing the membership of the organization until it numbers every rider and horse lover in Chicago, and to secure additional bridle paths throughout Chicago's park system and the surrounding County Forest Preserve. To accomplish the former ob- jective this Year Book has a genuine mission, for its aim is to interest every horseman and horsewoman in the activities of the association and thus secure additional members. Every member will receive a copy of this book, and with the circulation thus assured many new members will become interested in our work. A Club House and Arena for the exclusive use of the association is another project under consideration. It is planned to make this the most complete and elaborate in the country, surpassing anything of a similar nature ever undertaken. Committees have been appointed to further this project, and it is the hope of the Association that next year will see this far enough along to make its completion a reality. Our members feel that vfith other cities already owning magnificent riding club houses and arenas there is no real reason why Chicago should lag behind in this respect. It has been the good fortune of the Association to secure recognition at the South Shore Country Club Horse Show, The Dairy Show and the International Live Stock Exhibi- tion during the past season. Members of the Association figured prominently in these events by winning prizes, special classes being created for members of our organi- zation. All things considered, the growth and development of the Chicago Equestrian Association has been intensely gratifying. With the co-operation of all of its members it should forge ahead even faster during the coming years, until it shall have won for itself the proud name of being the country's most representative organization devoted to the interests of His Majesty, The Horse. Just a Moment Please — Think of a horseback riding friend or two who should be with us. Three thousand members car do more and get more than can three hundred. Otto Lehmann Director Thos. E. Wilson, Director Chairman, Organization and Building Committee The Joys and Benefits of Horseback Riding By Herbert J. Krum Editor: The Show Horse Chronicle, Lexington, Ky. HORSEBACK exercise is enjoying an unprecedented popularity at the present time in all parts of this countiy. It is not an over-statement to say that never before have so many people been drawn to this par- ticular form of outdoor sport as is true just now. All of our great cities bear testimony to this fact, and in count- less thousands of relatively small cities and towns there are numerous addicts to equestrianism in striking com- parison with what was true only a few years ago. This statement seems to carry an inherent and necessary con- tradiction in turn, and to reconcile these seeming incon- sistencies may afford a very engaging form of mental specidation. Perhaps at no previous period in the history of this country have really good saddle horses been as scarce, as hard to find and acquire, or as costly to purchase when found, as is true now. It is well realized by all who are conversant with the suljject that saddle horse breeding operations have reached within the past two or three years the lowest ebb in their history. In Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and the other South- ern states, from whence in the past time have come the greatest numbers of the saddle horses distributed in all parts of the land, production of fine saddle horses has reached an almost negligible stage. It formerly was true that any person desiring to purchase a fine saddle horse could go, or could send, to any one of hundreds of breeders 10 or dealers in Kentucky and exercise a range of choice relative to the purchase of a saddle horse that would include hundreds of animals, exactly counterable to such person's tastes, preferences, uses or necessities. Those having them to sell would constitute a most remarkable competition for such buyer's patronage, and if one cared to do so, he could within certain limits, almost dictate the price at which he could secure a saddle horse that was exactly what he wanted. But this is no longer true. On the contrary, the for- tunate possessor of a saddle horse in these days is apt to regard a would-be purchaser, not only with tolerant indif- ference, but probably also with distant disdain. And when such purchaser fortunately locates a horse that is within striking resemblance of anything that would remotely approximate his wishes, he is apt to find that the owner of such animal, when besought with a proper degree of deference, to designate a price which he will consent to accept for it, that the owner will nonchalantly now-a-days talk easily in terms of thousands, as a few years ago he would have been delighted to have talked in hundreds. This is, of course, the inexorable result of the immut- able law of supply and demand. And it probably in part accounts for the fact that saddle horse riding is now enjoy- ing the degree of prestige and popularity by which it unquestionably is surrounded. When things become diffi- cult to secure, everybody wants them. Since saddle horses have joined the small coterie of exclusive luxuries, costly and difficult to attain, everybody rides. The ownership and use of a saddle horse now carries with it a sort of dis- tinction, and marks one as being the fortunate possessor of a something impossible of acquisition by his or her less fortunate fellow mortals. Hence, saddle horse riding is the thing. And so just as the law of supply and demand continues its uninterrupted sway, so the law of compen- Albert W. Harris, Director -nnm 11 //. Walton Heegstra, Director Chairman, Year Book and Membership Committee sation finds here another illustration of its continued reign. The saddle horse gets even with the automobile. A decade ago, the proud owner of a car regarded the fellow on a saddle horse with an air of disdainful supe- riority. Now the tables are turned. And from his lofty eminence the rider of a saddle horse regards the occupant of even the most opulent motor with a sublime smile of impeccable hauteur. But the popularity of the saddle horse depends upon a much more solid, and a great deal broader foundation, than the mere whim of fashion, or the constantly shifting currents of social prestige. The saddle horse of today must be regarded as both a utility and a minister to one's pleasure. While it is undoubtedly true that the nature of the utili- tarian purposes, to which saddle horses are devoted, have undergone a radical change during the last decade, the change has by no means obviated the fact. It is true that people no longer use saddle horses for the purposes of making journeys, in the sense in which our forefathers used them, in the pioneer days, for coming from Virginia into the western vastnesses of the then miex- plored Blue Grass region of Kentucky. But it is not less true that we do use saddle horses for other purposes of an entirely different but equally important nature. To illustrate: modern industrial and social life is conducted at a very high pressure, and with a consequent result of a constantly increasing depletion of vital and nervous energy. The modern business man, and the modem soci- ety woman, both live under an extreme tension, and every- thing proceeds at an extraordinarily rapid pace. The auto- mobile itself has been a minister, and an instrument, contributing to this very result. The machine has brought the country to the city limits, and one of its most potent results has been to add measurably to the hours of our never-ceasing and restless activities. 12 As a consequence, some form of physical exercise has become an essential concomitant to our physical well-being and it is at just this point that the saddle horse enters with many of the requisites for our most respectful con- sideration. It is confidently asserted that there is no other form of physical exercise that possesses so many, and such varied, advantages as does horseback riding. It is an homely but an ever-pertinent quotation that the outside of a horse is the best thing for the inside of a man, and unlike many antiquated proverbs, this one has the indubit- able advantage of being literally true. Horseback riding takes us into the open air. It is a gentle and yet a rigorous form of physical exertion. It stimulates and accelerates, but without too great a degree of violence, the circulation of the blood and arouses and moves to a rigorous and unwonted activity the sluggish- ness of a torpid liver. It causes unconsciously and pleas- antly a stimulation of the heart beat, and the expansion of the lungs. It produces throughout the entire body a healthful glow of pleasurable exhilaration and a definite sense of bodily well-being. It makes one tired, but health- ily tired. It is exhausting, but neither enervating nor depressing, and ultimately it super-induces an invigorat- ing and restorative repose and slumber. It brings on the ability to enjoy that "sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care." It fits the man for the day's occupation, and brings to the woman the energy for the successful meeting of the cares and problems of an arduous social life. That horseback riding is distinctly beneficial in a physical sense is the universal experience of all who have ever enjoyed it, and it has the testimony of the medical profession, and of all physical culture scientists. These are phases of utilitarianism quite as definite and important as were those utility aspects of the horse in his former role as a means of conveyance. Dudley Rutter, Director 13 G. Russell Leonard, Director Chairman, South Side Ridrs Committee Many other forms of physical exercise have general recognition as being beneficial, but horseback riding is much more than merely beneficial. It is, for example, convenient. There are many forms of physical exercise available to any one; golf, tennis, the gymnasium, moun- tain climbing, hunting, swimming, and so on, in an end- less and various enumeration. But compared with horse- back riding, any of these present certain disadvantages and inconveniences. Golf numbers hundreds of thousands of addicts, but to play golf means a protracted period of leisure; a journey to the links; the uncertainties of caddies, and many other things that makes playing golf require a definite and pre- arranged program. And so with practically all of the other forms of outdoor physical recreation. Hunting means a journey; a lodge in some vast wilder- ness, and an absence from one's usual avocation. Every- one knows that the gymnasium quickly becomes monoton- ous, and though its benefits are unquestionable, it palls in its deadly routine. Horseback exercise, in contra-distinction to all of the other things we have mentioned, need not interfere with one's regular business or social duties. It requires no spe- cial pre-arrangement; nor does it involve the assistance of any accessory. It is an ideal way to begin the day's work, and a brisk hour in the saddle in the morning is an ideal preface to even the most arduous daily task. It clears the cobwebs from the brain, and it puts a joy and vim into living that nothing else can take the place of, and that nothing else supplies. One of the greatest advantages of horseback riding is the fact that the physical benefits are not ordinarily the prime purpose and motive for engaging in it. These phys- ical benefits are really incidental; one might even say almost unconscious. They are a sort of bi-product. Usu- 14 ally one rides because one likes to do so. It is just pure, unadulterated, boyish fun. A man or a woman enjoys a horseback ride in exactly the same spirit as a kid enjoys a game of marbles. We do it for the fun of the thing, and subconsciously realize that in having our fun, we are also gaining distinct bodily benefits. And by one of the curious quirks of our physiological endowment we always benefit most from those benefits which are indirect, and unobtrusive, in their operation. Thus the horseback ride is first of all the thing we enjoy, and co-incidently the thing from which we benefit. This is one of its greatest virtues. So then we have first of all, in favor of this form of beneficial enjoyment, its convenience. In the next place, it possesses the advantages of an endless variety and horse- back riding is literally like Egypt's famous queen, of whom it was said, "age cannot wither, nor customs stale her infinite variety." We can ride in a different direction, into different scenes, into all sorts of conditions and local- ities, and enjoy all the infinite aspects of nature in all of her varying moods. All seasons of the year may be alike. One may make choice of either day or night, and to the equestrian, neither snow nor rain need be a necessary deterrent from the indulgence in one's favorite pastime. We have seen scores of Chicago equestrians cantering through the park when the ground was covered with a foot of snow; just as we have seen them returning when they came to the end of a perfect day, in the balmy air of a summer evening's twilight. Thus it is seen that to con- venience is added to the pleasure of horseback riding, that of variety. Again, and this is one of its most important aspects, horseback riding is a social form of sport. It has the incalculable attractions of companionship, and also invari- ably of congenial companionship. Usually one's horse is one's companion. A dearly loved and justly appreci- 15 ated churn, and having all of the merits of a distinct aird engaging personality. The moods and humors of a horse are as various, as versatile, and as uncertain as are those of a woman. They are just as easily predicated, and this, of course, gives to one's equine comrade, all of the pleasure of the indefinite, and unknowable. Nor are we confined to the vagaries of but one horse. There are available for us all of these mul- tiplied by just as many different horses as our inclinations may insight, and our check books aflford. Golf links are all very much alike. Every horse is just as different from every other horse, as one star differs from another. And usually the bonds between the horse and the rider is the closest, excepting only that between sweethearts, by which mortals are bound- If the poet in describing the affection of the Arab for his horse exagger- ated, when he said, "more than maiden, more than wife, more than gold, and next to life, Russian the robber loved his horse," he exaggerated only a little. And here we come upon one of the links in the chain by which men and women are so securely bound to their equine friend. For the horse is to its owner an object of real aflfection. Most people who own saddle horses love them, and their horses have a real personality that makes them objects of a genuine affection. Our horse is an object upon which we can pour out all of the pent-up emotions that arise in the human breast, and be sure of a just, even though dumb, appreciation and reciprocation. If our horses are frequently the objects of an almost idola- trous worship, we need never know that they are squan- dered upon an unrequited and ungrateful object. For we do know that, just as many people do really love their horses, so their horses do also love them. Even this is not the whole of the story. For horseback exercising is a social enjoyment that extends beyond the comradeship cf the rider and his mount. It is a pleasure 16 that one can share with one's friend; with all the mem- bers of one's family, and practically without limitation, in a truly community sense. What could be more enjoy- able than sharing the advantages of physical benefit with one's sweetheart, or with one's wife and children, or with one's business associate, or even casual acquaintances, imbued with congenial and similar tastes. For, after all, man is a social animal and anything which one enjoys with one's fellows, by virtue of that very fact, takes on an added enjoyment. These are but a few of the conspiring causes for the ever-growing popularity of the horse, as an instrument of both benefit and pleasure, in all parts of the country at the present time, and strange to say, the automobile at first feared as the horse's deadly rival, has become instead of proving such, one of the very means by which the use of the horse has been stimulated. While it is true that the machines have crowded the horse off the city streets and boulevards, and from the country road, it has, at the same time, brought the park, the bridle path, the country estate, and the riding school right to our door. And, added to all of these advantages, which pertain to the horse in merely a personal and pri- vate pleasure capacity, there is added also the vast realm of the tanbark and the show ring, wherein man's nature Elmes, as an imitative and competitive being finds luilimited Director scope for unlimited expression. The show ring affords opportunity for the expression of every form of ambition and of all of the vicissitudes of uncertainty. It is the most democratic forum known to the world and one of the places where more than any other one must stand upon one's own feet and be rated in exact proportion to one's own demonstrable ability. Prince and pauper meet here upon an absolutely common plane and it is one of the few places still remaining unoccupied in 17 Walter Clyde Jones, Director ^%^H-. this world where the possession of mere weakh does not necessarily assure its possessor of the occupancy of the heights. The owning of the best horse is not always, nor neces- sarily, a question of merely having money enough. Some poor devil that we might be able to buy, or sell, may own a horse immeasurably better than all others are, and have for that horse a feehng that would compel him to decline to part with him, for all the wealth that could be show- ered upon him and for which no simi of money would be any temptation as an exchange. From a day far beyond the dawn of time, the horse has been man's inseparable companion; has accompanied him through all the stages of his progress down the cen- turies and the dawn of the twentieth century shows no indication that the long term of his dominion approaches, nor that his sovereign reign is about to be abdicated, before the inroads of any self-propelled vehicle, nor that the touching caress of his soft muzzle is to disappear in an atmosphere tainted in the fiunes of dividolized gasoline. Horses have been and will continue to be man's insepar- able companion, just as long as the human heart responds to sympathy and the lnunan eye is subject to the appeal of beautv. Doctor Grayson Tells How to Keep Well "Horseback Riding the Best of All Exercise" for Business and Professional Men, He Says F the present universal use of automobiles and elevators is continued we may expect our great grandchildren to be born without legs," is the rather startling declara- lion recently made by Dr. Gary T. Grayson, in writing about the importance of exercise and the way in which modern mechanical conveniences are leading so many per- I 18 sons to live without it. Though not meant to be taken literally, the statement was intended to emphasize the fact that many people are making too much use of such labor saving machines and too little use of their own legs and arms; in short, that they are living a hfe of too much ease, so far as physical exertion is concerned. The man who has been personal physician to three Presidents of the United States believes in the old saying that "the outside of a horse is the best thing in the world for the inside of a man." "Horseback riding is peculiarly and par excellence the exercise not only for the business man, the office worker, the professional and all persons living a sedentary life, but as well for the working man, the laborer in shop and field and for those engaged in active outdoor pursuits. In order to secure the greatest benefits from this — as with all other exercises — it should be practiced regularly for a period of thirty minutes to an hour, every day if possible, but, if not, then at the most frequent intervals. "Riding horseback is more than mere exercise. It gives a perfect and thorough massage to the entire system, not only to the muscles, but to all the vital organs, the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, stomach, intestines, the tissues, nerves, brain, blood vessels, to every ligament and joint in the physical structure. It brings into health- ful play every muscle in the human body, even to the mus- cles of the legs down to the ti])s of the toes in the stirrups. It may be that the legs receive the least of this exercise, but you may be sure that if the rest of the body is all right the legs will take care of themselves. "Those who regularly practice horseback riding will not be troubled with a sluggish liver nor biliousness due to constipation, for this exercise in the saddle is above all others an intestinal stimulant. Nor under normal diet conditions will the continual rider ever suflFer from the 19 Benjamin F. Stein, Director Chairman, Entertainment Committee tortures of indigestion, as the exercise is a most direct and active tonic to the digestive functions. Also, it greatly encourages if not compels deep breathing, which increases the supply of oxygen and so develops and strengthens the lungs, which in turn cleanses the blood. Aside from the general systematic benefits resulting from riding a horse the exercise is delightfully comfortable and gratifying, and the associations pleasant, for a horse is one of the most friendly and agreeable of companions. "If proper exercise is not regularly taken," Dr. Grayson adds, "certain organs become defective, so that the heart is called upon to work at a higher tension in forcing the blood through the system." From the October 20th Issue of the South Shore Country Club Magazine South Side Equestrians will now realize and appre- ciate the good work of the Chicago Equestrian Association when they ride through the South Park System, as the new bridle paths leading from Drexel Boulevard to Wash- ington Park are completed, as is also the Mounting Sta- tion at the junction of the two new additions. This is an improvement that must be appreciated by all horseback riders. The Association is now turning its attention to connecting the parks by bridle paths leading to the Forest Preserve, and it is expected that very soon one of these paths along Peterson Road, on the north side, will be completed. 20 The Romance of the Horse From "Rider and Driver" A FEW years ago one heard on all sides that the horse was doomed to extinction, would soon be found only in a museum and many other cheerful prognostications. These sentiments were voiced by all sorts of people, and for all sorts of reasons. The natural born pessimist took special delight in telling you all about it, rubbing it in more particularly if he met you riding or driving, because, in common with all of his breed, he objects to seeing anyone enjoy himself in a natural way. The terribly up-to-date person, in order to show you how antiquated you and your ideas were, as compared with his own, voiced much the same ideas, expressed real pity for you and hoped that ere long you would see the error of your ways, dispose, at any price, of your horses and join the gas machine procession. Others, whose tastes inclined toward mechanical means of progression, told you that the world was entering on an iron and steel era and that, in order to keep your end up in either business or sport, you would have to give up the horse or be left entirely behind in the race. The most earnest and vociferous of all the prophets was the man connected with the making or selling of motor vehicles. He pretended to believe, himself, and did his best to make everyone else believe, by means of garbled facts and figures, that the horse as an aid to business or recreation was done for. And he did succeed in doing quite a bit of harm to the horse industry. He showed the breeders of all classes of horses how foolish it was to continue to produce an article for which the demand was already lessening and would soon cease to exist; an article expensive to produce and grow to a marketable age; liable to all kinds of accidents from its 21 birth up, which would soon be outclassed in every field of utility or amusement. Where he was successful in convincing a large or small breeder that to continue pro- duction was to court bankruptcy, the lessened production increased thereby the scarcity of horses and also very naturally the price of those still produced. He was then able to put forward the high price of horses as another reason why one should not buy them but rather invest in a motorized vehicle which would do everything but talk, would cover a fabulous number of miles at a nominal cost and which, according to him, would last practically forever. (He did not mention the sort of language it would produce from its owner when a tire blew up or it sidled into a ditch.) ^:^^- 22 The automobile has injured, to some extent, the sale and thereby the breeding of harness horses, whether it be the light leather trotting bred horse or the heavy leather hackney. But notwithstanding the more general use of automobiles, the carriage horse is slowly but surely making his way back among the wealthy people of New York, Washington, etc. It was they who bought the first machines, the largest and most expensive and ran them to their limit. They found, after all, that there was not much visible difference between their machines and those of their poorer neighbors, at any rate to the average passer-by. So now they incline to use their automobiles instead of trains and go back to horses for amusement. Human brings are after all not unlike sheep. One sheep in the flock sees a gap in the fence and goes through it; the rest of the flock follow suit without stopping to reason why. So it seems extremely probable that the lead given at this time by the few will be fol- lowed ere long by the many and that the harness horse, while he may never entirely regain the position he for- merly occupied, will become very much more the vogue than during the last few years. The demand for horses to be used under the saddle for such purposes as road and park riding, hunting, polo and overseeing farm operations, stock driving, etc., as well as for ponies for children of all ages and sizes, has increased enormously both in town and country. The bridle paths of practically all the large cities are so overcrowded that the facilities for riding will have to be increased largely in the near future. Durland's, which is not only the largest and best equipped riding academy in America but in the world, has its accommodations for privately owned riding horses full to overflowing, and the same applies in a more or less degree to all the smaller establishments of a like nature. Chas. A. Dunbar, Director 23 E. }. Lehmann, Director Chairman, Finance Committee The man whose pocket is plethoric with money, whether acquired or inherited, who finds his adiposity increasing to an alarming degree, his liver inactive, his mental facul- ties dulled and his zest in life gone and who finds that even sherry and bitters or cocktails (if he is lucky enough in this over-virtuous age to have such things) do not enable him to get up a semblance of an appetite for his three meals per diem, goes to his doctor to find what is the matter with him. If his physician is up to date and does not need to keep him on tap as a meal ticket, he will tell him to buy a high stepping hack (saddle horse), ride for an hour every morning before breakfast, have a cold shower and a good rub down on coming back and report to him in ten days or a fortnight. Our friend may require cushions in his chair for a few days but that will soon wear off. He will find his breeches buttons becoming less and less strained round his waist, his mental faculties clearer and more alert and his appe- tite returning to such an extent that the high cost of living will become a concrete instead of an abstract quantity. No matter what his age he will bid defiance to Father Time and his good doctor will see him no more. So much for the benefit an adult can derive from the animal which was in the near future to become extinct. There is nothing under the sun that makes and shapes a child both mentally and physically and teaches it the way it should go like the possession of a pony. And to it add a dog. Riding teaches a child to think clearly, to act quickly and to keep its temper under control. A pony teaches it a love for animals and whether it be used purely for amusement, as a means of going to and from school or for any other purpose, there is nothing can touch it as a means of building up a sane mind and a sound body. For quite a young child, a small Shetland pony is the best playmate it can have. 24 Committee A child can begin its association with horses and get its daily airing and exercise long before it can walk by being put in a pannier on a steady pony's back. The nurse will find it much easier to lead the pony than to push a perambulator and will be much less likely to stop and gossip with her friends to the possible detriment of her charge. Later on the child will get its first lesson in Heman Gifford, riding, either bareback or on a pilch on the same pony, chairm As time goes on, a Welsh or Exmoor pony will take the North Side Rides place of the Shetland and a real ability to ride will then be necessary. The next step will be a cob or pony of the polo type, not too wide, from 14 to 14.2 hands high. The youngster now nearing maturity should by this time be able to sit and handle anything on four legs and have an alert mind, a clean, sound body, self-control and a proper understanding of the meaning and importance of prompt obedience. All things of the greatest value to man or woman. We do not, of course, deny the necessity for and utility of, motor vehicles of all descriptions, as there is a place for everything. But we wonder what results along the above lines you would have been likely to have achieved had we substituted a gas machine for the so-called obsolete horse ?

For evening and park classes a woman should wear a dark habit of some appropriate material either melton, or dark blue whipcord. Vel- vet collars may be worn, but this is a matter of taste. The coat is made in two styles, one, straight with two buttons, cutaway in front and with a bit of a flare; surely nothing looks smarter than a well cut shadbelly with appropriate waistcoat. This type of coat must be well cut and should fit as well as a man's evening coat. High collar and a smart tie of some sort look very well, but to my mind, noth- ing is more appropriate than a high white stock well tied. White, buff or tan gloves may be worn. Of course, a top hat and black boots (I prefer patent leather.) A swag- ger stick should be carried and a flower in the buttonhole completes this costume. 27 In hunting classes, "appointments" must be absolutely correct. The habit is usually of dark melton, the collar should be of the "colors" of the hunt, the buttons stamped with the hunt insignia; a waistcoat is worn, same color as the collar. It usually has five buttons. Buckskin or dogskin gloves may be worn ; a crop with a thong is carried. Under the flap of the saddle a pair of storm gloves are featured. On the right side of the saddle, back of the flap, a sandwich box is buckled. In that sandwich box is a flask and a sandwich case. If the class calls for "appoint- ments," there must be a sandwich in the case and some sherry or port in the flask — if you can get it. A top hat is worn and always a hatguard for hunting. Buckskin or leather breeches are really the "swankest" thing to wear, but difiicult to obtain in these days. However, breeches of some brown or tan material or cords are equally correct. The boots must be of black calfskin and patent leather tops (similar to a man's "cubbing" boots). In mufti, one has a bit more license as to color and material. Tweeds and whipcords of tan, brown, gray, or even blue are worn. Smart collars with gay colored neck- ties, well tied are perfectly appropriate. A pot hat or even a soft hat may be worn well down on the head. Tan boots (I prefer the leg of thin, soft leather), or a boot called a field boot looks well with this sort of get-up. For ladies' driving classes, pair or single, I think great care should be taken in selection of the costume. One can dress in two distinct ways, either in essentially tailor- made clothes, or charming afternoon costume, any color, as long as it is not too gay, which looks beautiful in a George IV class. Great care should be taken as to the fitness of the hat. Too large a hat coming down over the shoulders spoils an otherwise perfect line to this most perfect of all lady's turnouts. Sleeves may be to the elbow, no shorter, or to the wrist; gloves of tan, gray or white. A card case with a fresh pair of gloves folded in it, tucked in at the side of the seat, gives a smart and well turned-out look. A raincoat with umbrella and storm gloves must be carried in the car- riage, also the man must have his mackintosh and storm hat-cover under the seat. In giving the "appointments" for these diff"erent classes I wish to emphasize the fitness of riding clothes. Several years ago, when fewer ladies rode in the horse shows and riding astride was not taken up to the extent it is now, clothes were more carefully and better made. The few women who rode, though looking old-fashioned to us now, were more appropriately dressed than the average woman you see riding in the park today. Even in riding astride a woman can look smart if she is carefully and well tail- ored. My point of view for women riding astride is that they should be quietly and inconspicuously dressed, breeches and boots and coat cut on well-made men's tailor type of clothes. The hair should be worn particularly pulled back and the hat well down. In the appointment classes, when women ride astride, I would suggest a pot hat, dark coat, whipcords, black boots, with patent leather tops, garters and spurs if worn put on properly.

H WACKER Chairman, Chicago Plan Commission HAS there ever been a real baby who, if given the choice between a horse and a doll, has not grabbed for the horse? Does not every boy beg for a "horsey" long before he knows what it means to ride or drive one? Are there any children, or have there ever been any, who have not craved to ride or own a pony? What child or grown-up has not gleaned beneficial human- itarian lessons from "Black Beauty"? If the horse coidd talk he would tell us, and he could sincerely do so, that we have failed to appreciate fully his intelligence, his loyalty, the health-giving and thrilling pleasures he has helped us enjoy, and his willingness to serve unto death. He would tell us that all he asks in return is a kind word; humane treatment while in service and the same consideration after he has exhausted his physical strength at the behest of man. He could remind us of the very important part he has played in the making of history, not only on the battlefield, but also in the economic field, where his service has been and still is invaluable. From time immemorial the horse has symbolized strength and faithfulness and his vigor and spirit have been perpetuated by the artists of all ages in statue and monument. However, my subject is not the horse, but Forest Preserves. What does the law say in regard to creating forest preserves? "Any forest preserve district organized under this Act shall have the power to create forest preserves, and for that purpose shall have power to acquire, in the manner hereinafter provided, and hold lands containing one or more natural forests or parts thereof, for the purpose of protecting and preserving the flora and fauna and scenic beauties within such district, and to protect and preserve such lands as nearly as may be in their natural condition for the purpose of the education, pleasure and recreation of the public." We do not yet fully realize that no city in the world has greater potentialities than the City of Chicago with its beautiful lake-front setting and its wonderful forest pre- serves encircling the entire city and that it can be made, not only the most beautiful, attractive and prosperous city on this continent, but also — owing to its wonderfully strategic position at the head of the great Mississippi Val- ley— the greatest metropolis of the country, if not of the world. We must never lose sight of the fact that in these times, particularly in urban centers where the physique of man has so seriously deteriorated, everything within reason must be done, and done soon, to give people more light, more air and more playgrounds. The acquisition of the forest preserves in Cook County is a signal forward move- ment in supplying a medium for healthful recreation. The park, boulevard and forest preserve systems of Chicago offer a splendid opportunity for the development and extension of bridle paths, convenient and accessible to every section of the city. Wherever possible bridle paths should connect the park systems of the city, as well as the park systems with the forest preserves. 29 I Wonder What a Horse Thinks About on the Bridle Path?

WOODIN'S farm comprises three hundred and twenty acres and is known as Woodin Farms and is about five miles north of Lake Forest on Telegraph Road. Until recently he has maintained his country place for the training of hunters for show purposes. In the fall he sold his entire stable to L. K. Liggett in the East, but at the present time has a man in Virginia looking for some "green" hunters and will probably have another stable lined up, at least, in time for the South Shore Country Club Horse Show. In the spring, early June, his family moves out there and stays until the mid- dle of September. His daughters, Jane, aged twelve, and Martha, seven, are enthusiastic equestriennes also. Jane showed her pony, "Chestnut Girl," at South Shore in June. Martha has not tried the hurdles yet, but gets a good deal of pleasure and much excitement (since he discovered she was not stationary) out of a diminutive Shet- land called "Glen E." The buildings on the place are not especially elaborate — the house is built on Colonial lines and all the buildings are white with green trimmings. Jane Woodin on Her Pony, "Chestnut Girl" Birdseye View of Jumping Course 56 He has "the large house," the help's cottage, garage, farmer's cottage, farm barn, trainer's house, and an espe- cially fine barn for training the hunters arranged so that training need not be discontinued on account of weather. This barn is indeed worthy of comment and the horses are not only comfortable but lux- uriously situated. It is known as the training barn. Neighbors and Friends at Woodin Farms Group of It'oodin Farms Hunters and Jumpers 57 (Continued from Page 55) by far the leading outdoor pastime. Intermediate cities reflect a riding interest which is apparently nationwide. Chicago has not failed to make way for her riding en- thusiasts. It is estimated that there are now approxi- mately five thousand equestrians in the city, with the number increasing daily. Recognizing that the sport car- ries real merit in its practice, the various park boards have responded with bridle paths in the main parks on the North and South sides of the city. The western dis- trict has only the Forest Preserve, but this is in fairly near proximity. It is believed, however, that in the future development of the sport as a general recreation, the West Side parks will also give room for the equestrians to spread out a bit. The North Side has two riding centers, the more popu- lous being in the region of Lincoln Park, where an excel- lent bridle path winds through the park and along the lake front. Beginning at the Municipal Pier, the path follows close to the shore of Lake Michigan for a distance of four and a half miles through the park. The scenery is delightful and the park kept in splendid condition. The map on the next page shows the course of the Lincoln Park Bridle Path and the location of contributing stables. Riders in the Edgewater district, being separated from the Lincoln Park paths by two miles of city pavement, strike off to the west and northwest on country roads of dirt to the Forest Preserve. Here the riding is especially enjoyable, as there is no more perfect way to explore among trees and along trails, than on horseback. The Chicago Plan Commission is making earnest efforts to provide for a bridle path in the widening of Peterson Avenue, which will afford a direct outlet to the Forest Preserve areas on the west. The Lincoln Park Commis- sioners are building new land into the lake for an exten- sion of Lincoln Park through which a bridle path has been requested by the equestrian associations in Chicago, notably the Chicago Equestrian Club and the American Remount Association in united effort with the Horse As- sociation of America. Riders on the North Side have pointed out that there is now an opportimity to carry the bridle paths across the bridge at the north end of the yacht harbor, following east and south along the harbor's edge, thence north along the outer rim on the new made land and next to the lake, as fast as the new made land is completed, with occasional cross paths to the western side of the park, where the bridle path is now established. Such develop- ment would give mileage and beauty to the Lincoln Park district excelled by no other park in America. Washington and Jackson Parks furnish excellent riding faciUties for the South Side. The two parks are con- nected by a mile of cinder pathway down the Midway Plaisance, and this is a most desirable feature toward making park riding unrestricted and worth while. The pathway in Washington Park begins at Fifty-first Street and circles the north half of the park called the "meadow," — an open, grassy expanse, and here riding is especially good because of the few intercepting roadways and sidewalks. A branch from this park leads off through the south half of the park, running alongside the lagoon, over a rustic bridge or through a shallow fording spot, on south, but turning east just short of Sixtieth Street, where the path leads out onto the Midway. One mile along the cinder path of the Midway and the path enters Jackson Park. A turn to the right and the route runs parallel with the West Drive to the extreme south end of the park, thence a turn to the left straight across the entire width of the park to Lake Shore Drive, or, turning to the North and going over the bridge be- tween the yacht harbor and the lagoon, follows the cinder (Continued on Page 60) 58 MAP OF JACKSOI^ PARK AND SURROUNDING DISTRICTS Heavy black line indicating the Bridle Path. Great credit i: South Park Commissioners for making these paths possibl use of equestri 59 (Continued from Page 58) pathway running North and South between the golf hnks and lake front. This lake shore drive is one of the finest in the city. The East path is connected with the West by a zig-zag route crossing the Music Court Bridge, thence along the lagoon to the Columbia Bridge, and on west to the section of pathway traversing the entire west side of Jackson Park. The total mileage on the South Side for the two parks and the Midway is approximately eight miles. The map following page 9 shows the route except the connecting link down the Midway, and the directory indicates where horses may be obtained. Riders on the South Side can follow picked roads to the country, getting around into Indiana or over west to the Forest Preserve. The Country Clubs form headquarters for riding on the extreme ends of the city, the suburbs and newer residence districts having access to dirt roads. There the riding is especially delightful, and the mileage is only limited by the rider's taste for exploration. Community riding clubs are also the outgrowth of equestrian enthusiasm, and are not so complicated in operation but that their plan is feasible for any suburban district. An illustration of what can be done in this regard is shown by the Catalpa Riding Club, 1124 Catalpa Street. There are sixteen members, all of whom are owners of saddle horses. The fact that there were no facilities satisfactory to them for the care and nearby stabling of their mounts, drew them into a business arrangement which took the form of a riding club with stables large enough to accommodate the horses of its members. The club is not run for profit and frequent adjustments are made in the rates charged so as to just keep even. The following are the main items of income and expense: SOURCES OF INCOME: Membership fee on admittance to Club $ 25.00 Rental of 8 box stalls to members at $40 each, per month 320.00 Rental of 8 single stalls to members at $35 each, per month 280.00 MAIN ITEMS OF EXPENSE (Monthly): Rent of building 75.00 Stable man 130.00 Assistant stable man 120.00 Cost of feed, 16 horses, approximately 250.00 Miscellaneous expense 25.00 Such a club, besides having common community inter- ests, does not lack for camaraderie, for there is always a kinship in the use and appreciation of good horses. But the point is, there are many districts like unto this one, with a coterie of men interested in horses who could and would be enjoying the benefits of riding if they saw a practical way to have their own horses and keep them in the neighborhood. What has been done can be done again, and this club does not by any means claim to be the first. Numerous small groups throughout the city have similar arrangements for the care of their horses, and many men have their own stables. The creation of a bridle path from Washington Park west to the city limits will increase greatly the number of riders in the south parks, for remount stations and club stables will spring up along such a connecting link. Business men of the South Side can stop off while on their way home for an hour's ride through the parks, or in the country west of the city. Those in the vicinity of the parks who ride therein on week days, will take advantage of Saturday afternoons and Sundays for longer trips in the open country and through the Forest Pre- serves. 60 The fiual development of the connecting link between the Forest Preserve and Lincoln Park will permit the riders of Lincoln Park to reach the open country to the northwest of the city and the Forest Preserve, and will also afford opportunity for the riders of the North Shore Polo Club, Onwentsia Polo Club, Edgewater Riding Academy, Catalpa Riding Club and others, to ride down into Lincoln Park without crossing through city traffic.

Sutherland, Owner 63 The New Home of The Chicago Yacht Chib jl By Commodore SHELDON CLARK WHAT will be the finest and best located yacht club in America, if not the world, will be erected on three acres of land comprising the North point at the entrance to Belmont Harbor in Lincoln Park. The thirty-five year lease was negotiated during the last year with the Lincoln Park board, and the Chicago Yacht Club already has tentative plans for the construction of a club- house which will be able to accommodate several thousand members. There is no finer location in the country, as the club will be easily accessible to the downtown sec- tions, as well as far enough away from the loop to escape the smoke and noise. The site is large enough for the installation of tennis courts and to permit of considerable ground decoration. Belmont Harbor is now the best yachting location in Chicago. In fact practically all of the boats that used to moor in Grant Park basin have removed to the new harbor where there is plenty of room and where the craft escape the smoke nuisance. The plans as far as they have been projected call for a clubhouse of brick in keeping with the architecture in harmony with the park surroundings. There will be an entrance both on Lake Michigan and on the harbor. The club will be open the year round and will be large enough to take care of a thousand diners at one sitting. Besides the yachting, which will always be the main feature of the organization's activities, there will be a diversity of amusements. It is likely that some time soon there will be a big public polo field near the club which will provide some of the best polo games in the middle west. With tennis, billiards, bowling, dancing and other sports, the club will have all the amusements of a town and country and yacht club combined. Of especial interest to equestrians will be accommoda- tions for the members of the club who are interested in the saddle game. A bridle path will lead from the park paths up to the club. 64 The oflScers of the club for 1921 are: Commodore, Shel- don Clark; Vice Commodore, George O. Clinch; Rear Commodore, Edward M. Railton; Secretary, Harold Brad- ley; Treasurer, R. E. Jones; Directors: Laurance H. Ar- mour, James O. Heyworth, Dr. W. L. Baum, Albert Y. Gowen, Ogden T. McClurg, Charles D. Frey, L. J. Lambin and E. C. Webster. The agreement with the Lincoln Park board calls for beginning of construction within two years, but the yacht club, with a large number of new members coming in, probably will be in shape to start work during the coming Fall. The club is in excellent financial condition and the members are eager to get the project started as soon as possible. Following is a description of the tentative plans sub- mitted by Architect A. N. Rebori: Main building 180' long, contains a club room 40'x80', promenade 116' long and a two-story high octagonal din- ing room with extension porches and dining alcoves look- ing out on the water, with south, west and east views. A wide porch on the lake side is carried full length of building. From this porch members can view the races. A wing extending into the water 100' toward yacht harbor and moorings contains a sail locker room on the lower level, a gangway and committee room on the upper level or deck. Bowling alleys, showers and locker rooms with a tunnel to the lake are placed on the lower level beneath the main building. A large log room, where records of the world's sailing events are placed, together with trophies belonging to the Club, is a feature in the arrangement of rooms below. Above the main club room an unobstructed dancing deck for open air dancing is provided, 100'x40'. Above dance deck, in the tower, is the observation deck, where telescopes and signals will be arranged in the latest scientific nautical manner. A large room is provided in this lookout tower for the Yachting Committee, making it possible to direct the many regattas and other events, international in their scope, planned for the coming season. The general design of the building is along lines con- sistent with the latest marine architecture expressed in structural building terms. In general appearance tlie building will be low and expansive, with broad decks, promenades and large unobstructed glass areas affording the naaximum of air, sunshine and view. From the main club room, with its heavy beamed ceil- ing, and ribbed construction of an ocean liner type, we pass into the spacious dining room with its extended view on all sides. In the centre of the dining room there is a huge fire- place that will bring cheer to the sailorman's heart. It has four openings, one on eacli point of the compass, permitting of wide gatherings where many a yachting story may be spun. A wide and graceful stairs very much like the broad companionway of a huge ship, leads to the dance deck above and winds its way down to the locker rooms, log room and boat landing. The kitchen and service portion affords facilities for serving 1,000 guests at a single sitting. In view of the great yachting events planned, this kitchen will not only encourage, but will attract, sportsmen from all over the world. An attempt has been made to take care of yachting in all its branches, and very few of the approved and up-to-date requirements have been overlooked in the lay- out. 65 Mavis of Kildaire, Glittering Glory, Chief O' the Clan Driving Lord Brilliant in Gig Class at Newport Glittering Glory View of Home at Ballantrae Farms ^ ^ 66 & (^ BALLANTRAE FARMS ORLAND, ILLINOIS HARRY NEWMAN, OWNER FRANK E.

TELEPHONE - - HARRISON 5983 77 Horse Association of America Promotes Equestrian '•y/iofX>uy/l7i}(_\ i •y-h/s/iTfo/x yfra£ J'fac/^nc'i/ THE first and only great national organization to aid and encourage the breeding, raising and use of good horses and mules, has come into existence mider the name and style of the HORSE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA. In it are united the various business interests related to horse production and use, which, through this body, combine their support and strength with the men actually engaged in the breeding and use of horses and mules. Allied with it also are all of the great record associations which have to do with the encourage- ment of the individual breeds, and such other organizations directly interested — as the Chicago Equestrian Club and the American Remount Asso- ciation. However, though the activities of the Horse Association "cover the earth," brief mention in this article will be made only of such efforts as pertain to equestrian, sports and the saddle horse breeds contributing thereto. The Horse Association of America takes the position that horseback riding is the oldest, most widely known and most healthful of all outdoor sports, available alike to young and old; that it deserves to become the most popular regular recreation in the United States and other coun- tries; that in order to insure its spread and growth, permanent facilities therefor must be made avail- able; and that demand for saddle horses must be created before farmers and breeders can be in- duced to expend time and intelligent attention to their production, to an adequate degree. The Horse Association of America has made sur- veys of bridle paths and general facilities now ac- cessible in our leading cities, and has constantly sought to bring them into prominence through publicity channels open to the Association. It is confidently believed that within five years' time, the practical, definite work of the Horse Associa- tion of America will bring into being a civilian army at least two hundred thousand strong. These riders will not only gain in personal health and well-being, but will create a demand for good mounts which will encourage intelligent effort in breeding the various strains. Of the fifteen pure breeds of horses developed by the patient work and untiring efforts of horse- men, six provide good saddle horses and two fur- nish ponies suitable for children. The Arab, of which studs are still maintained in the Orient and in France, England and America, is the oldest breed of horses known. Cradled on the desert sands of Arabia long before the coming of Christ, it has been, from earliest times, a saddle horse on whose speed and endurance the life of the rider often depended. Because of excellence in qualities named, the Arabian blood was freely used in improving the saddle stocks of France and England. The Thoroughbred, the technical name for the breed of race horses, resulted from a fusion of the Arab, Turk, Barb and the native running horses found in England. The Turk and Barb breeds were much like the Arab, developed for the same 78 Sports and the Breeding of Saddle Horses purpose, but they are considered to have been of minor importance in the creation of the Thorough- bred, and this great breed has been developed mainly by the cross of the Arab blood on the early English running stocks, plus rigorous selection of the best by test. The race course furnished the measure of merit. Speed, endurance, fiery tem- perament and sheer gameness developed by more than three centuries of race track selection, has made the Thoroughbred most widely known and generally used of all breeds in the development of saddle and cavalry horses. The Thoroughbred has also furnished the foun- dation for two distinct breeds created here in America; the Standardbred and the American Saddle horse. The latter resulted from a blend of several strains with the Thoroughbred, plus con- tinual selection for saddle purposes. It has devel- oped into a type somewhat finer in symmetry and finish, with more sloping shoulders and pasterns than the Thoroughbred, and with the added dis- tinction of having five gaits instead of three. The Standardbred, like the American Saddle horse, has its origin in the Thoroughbred breed primarily, but is fused with other strains as well, — including some Hackney blood. It has, however, been developed into a distinct type characterized by extreme speed at trotting gait. Many horses of this breed are not the right type to make satisfac- tory saddle horses, but others of the breed, par- ticularly those of the Wilkes strain, are sufficiently short backed, strongly coupled, deep middled and heavily muscled to make good mounts and good sires of saddle horses. The Hackney is inclined to possess too much action for siring saddle horses, but an infusion of this blood to the extent of one-fourth or one-half often benefits certain types by giving shorter, stronger backs, heavier loins and greater muscling through the hind quarters. The Morgan is a stock famed in early New Eng- land days for considerable speed and great endur- ance,— of late yearsi effort has been directed to- ward types for saddle use. It is too early to pi'edict the outcome, although horses of this strain have acquitted themselves well in long endurance rides. The Welsh and the Shetland are distinct types of pony breeds well suited to breed on other pony stocks of nondescript type for the production of good saddle horses for children. The Shetland is better adapted for very young children, and the Welsh for those between ten and fifteen years. In general, saddle horses should stand between 15.1 and 15.3 hands in height, have two good ends and a good middle, possess well formed withers, strong back muscles, powerful loins and heavily muscled hind quarters, sloping pasterns, sloping shoulders, heads well carried up, clean, flinty underpinning and good feet, with legs properly set on. Last, and most important of all, they must have straight action, lively temperament, and keen intelligence, — a horse like this is capable of meeting any test and is a satisfaction and joy for- ever to the fortunate owner.

The more primitive the mode of life the more gaudy the colors, for people living closest to nature adopt her primary colors. Observe the appeal of xed to the American Indian, or the love of flamboyant display in the striking red, blue and yellow costumes of the peasants of southern Europe. As people progress they get away from the primary. There comes refinement, binations — mixing of pigments — result in pleasing, restful, harmonious effects. Com- The appeal of lithography in colors is therefore easy to understand. Its source is deep within men and women. And this appeal will never die if lithography keeps pace with the advance of color refinement and progress. Some people in this country still wear loud clothes — some lithographs still shriek — but they are the exception. The one which has the greatest attraction is that in good taste — bold and compelling — but with ease and force of presentation. This class of lithography we like to design, to execute, not only because it is artistic, but because it accomplishes the purpose — it impresses the idea which is to be conveyed.

Nearly sixty miles of new bridle trails have been laid out through and around the West Baden estate, and these, combined with the ones formerly in use and the paths radiating from French Lick, a mile away, offer a diversity of scenery and of horsemanship unequalled in the state. Some of the trails lead out into the open fields surrounding the upland golf course — others wilder and more rugged wind through almost untouched wood- lands and upon high plateaus overlooking a magnificent stretch of fertile valleys and farm lands. Others lead into the old whetstone quarry region, where picturesque crags and cliffs seem almost mountainous, giving all the thrills of real mountain chmbing. The open winter has made this great sport unusually popular and there has not been a day now for more than a year when equestrian parties did not come in for a full share of enjoy- ment. Even the youngsters have been made happy with the ponies that are kept for their especial use. A riding school is maintained in connection with the hotel with competent instructors in charge. L. L.

Nowhere else near Chicago are the attractions for the equestrian equal to those that exist at Olympia. Realizing this, their Board of Governors last season appointed an Eques- trian Committee to develop this form of sport. One of the farm barns was converted into a stable with accommodations for twenty-five horses, and within a few weeks it was filled with horses and ponies. The Governors then took another step in promoting this feature at Olympia by creating fifty Special Equestrian Memberships, applications for which are now being received.

In my day he hunted four days a week. Monday and Friday in Northumberland and Tuesday and Saturday in Berwickshire. He was one of the old type of artistocrats in looks, manner and language; of the latter he had fine command — very forcible and sometimes exceedingly naughty. We looked upon him as a sort of a demi-god and you were certainly trained the way you should go while following his hounds. He hunted them at his own expense and he had very little respect for his followers. Withal he was wonderfully popular. My father moved his residence in 1867 to Roxburgh- shire. We were just west of the Northumberland coun- try and continued to hunt occasionally with his Lordship, although our home was in the Buccleuch country. There under the greatest huntsman it has ever been my lot to meet, I really got my hunting education. William Shore hunted the above hounds for nearly forty years. He was an accomplished horseman, had a fine eye for country and was never far from hounds. He was an autocrat in the field having a very acid tongue, but as he produced mar- velous sport, he was forgiven. Away from the hunting field or on the way home after the day's sport, he was the most delightful of men, versed in folk lore, well read in all kinds of Uterature, a keen humor running through his conversation. When he left this earthly scene I lost one of my best friends. I hear this evening as I write the echo of his horn, the deep sonorous note of his voice as he cheered his pack and made the woodlands ring. Many a time, with a bad catchy scent, he walked his fox to death, a slow, patient, marvelous piece of business requiring wonderful skill and knowledge. He was a hero to the boys, a guide to the older hands and in this way {Continued on page 114) H. S.

For exercise, for exhilaration, for the development of comradeship, nothing compares in the realms of sport to fox hunting. There on the hillside is a young wood or a few acres of gorse where in some cozy spot reynard is kennelled. The spotted beauties top a wall as if a blanket covered them. The fox is at home. They push him up. As he moves a hound hits off his line through the cover. There is a whimper, then a full note, then a chorus. Up a small ravine the fox slips away. If you see him leaving do not holloa — as Mr. Jorrocks says, "count twenty." Then if the huntsman does not know he has left, or hounds are still hanging in cover, raise your hat, use your whistle or if necessary holloa hounds away. Old Rallywood tops the wall a few yards over he chal- lenges and the pack comes to his well known note and the merry chase begins. Over a hill top you see the flying fox his little figure silhouetted against the sky. He has followed a wall for about half a mile, then turning sharp to his right we see him disappear a mile or more ahead. The pack flash past the point he has turned at right angles. As they lose the scent they swing round instinctively in a wide cast. Then they pick up the line; the field charges at many points a four-foot stone wall. The hoiuids are racing now and for forty minutes it is steeple-chasing across a fine lot of grass fields with easy fences, across a river to the base of a steep hill which has tried many a horse's mettle. Gradually the fox climbs it but a quarter of the way he keeps along its side and gradually descends again. 114 With my heavy weight (220 lbs.) I keep along; a steep track far below the hounds who have fortunately for most of the field their noses to the ground. The hunts- man is doubling his horn cheering them on as one hound after another picks up the line and lifts up his voice. Lawyer, with his fine nose and wonderful tongue, is cutting out the work. Then Sportsman dashes in front and so the rivalry goes on. We sink the hill by a farm road to a valley below where a main turnpike runs. My horse is just about all in, but he comes downwards at a trot throwing his forefeet a bit wildly. Down below are several horsemen, among them my second horseman Jimmy Drummond. As we get to the road the huntsman jumps from his beaten horse to a fresh mount. Several of us do the same. The pack is traveling again. Away in the distance a shepherd's hat is in the air, a signal that the quarry has passed in. My horse, one of the great showyard heavy weights of Eng- land is pulling double. We skirt another hillside with a wall running diagonally across it; )our eye scans it for a weak place, half way there is a gateway. The gate is tied, so I go right at it. There is a rattle, it sounds like a top rail gone, but there is no time to look back. The hounds point for a wood a mile or more away. When they get inside there is a tremendous chorus. We get through the wood by a ride near the middle of it. Down the hill hounds are streaming, scarce a note coming from them. Away we go at breakneck pace down a steep hill, across a level field at the bottom of it. The hounds have the best of it, but they falter at a road up which the fox has run a couple of hundred yards. Steady now, ladies and gentlemen, let them puzzle it out! Bridget has him up the road to an old wood. Here the pack sneaks again. We follow them through the tall pine trees, over a rotten sort of ditch into the open.

Carroll & Bro. 1553 E. 53rd Street PHONE HYDE PARK 440 "INVEST IN HYDE PARK' There is a grass field beyond and about the middle we see the fox traveling across it. There is an ugly sort of bank and burn to be negotiated. We got across with- out any grief. Hounds, horses and men feel the impulse. Down a wall side the fox makes his weary way. We get through a couple of gates, the pack is on both sides of the wall, a ploughman and a pair of horses are standing about a couple of hundred yards just about to turn for a fresh furrow. The beaten fox cannot face him, so with a last effort he jumps the wall, a hound grabs at him and as he jumps back again he lands among the pack. "Who' woop!" Time — 1 hour and 30 minutes without a check. When I was a boy I heard the old men talk of the glorious days they had spent with hounds and ever utter- ing a note of regret that the sport which Somerville thus describes in that wonderful poem on the "Chase": "My horse-sounding horn Invites thee to the chase, the sport of kings. Image of war without its quiet." Of course you believed in this pessimistic view, for a Scotch boy was brought up in the rigid faith not to dispute with his father or mother, his uncles or his aunts. But the records are against this view of things, for I find in looking over Bailey's Hunting Directory of 1912-13 there were 497 packs of hounds in the United Kingdom — 214 of them foxhounds. This is a record number so far as I know. The war of course nearly killed hunting but since its close there has been a steady gain and in many hunts you cannot see much change. While, as said above, I have hunted ever since boyhood, it was not until 1891 that 1 began to keep a stud of horses in Scotland or England. Since that date till last October I have generally had a few good hunters. When actually hunting I kept eight to ten horses and they were needed to keep you going six days a week. 116 My best season was 1902-3 when I put in ninety-eight days with hounds, generally riding to the meets. This made a toil out of pleasure, in a way. I was at the death of nearly one hundred foxes. In 1910 I took over the North Northumberland country and was Master for five years, when the war stopped proceedings so far as I was concerned. A Committee kept the hunt going, my good friend, the Hon. F. W. Lambton, bearing most of the burden. I became Master again 1st March, 1919, and retired 1st May, 1920. The present in- come tax and hunting hounds do not agree. While I had the hounds, I ran them top-hole, to use a slang expression, having August 1st, 1914, fifty couple of hounds and twenty-five horses. The reason was that for many years I had hunted in the Borderland for practically noth- ing. Then I had an illustrious lot of predecessors — Lord Wennyss, Watson-Askey, Sir John Majoribanks, Major Hunter, Sir James Miller (winner of the Derby twice with Sanfoin and Rocksand), Mrs. Burrell and James Fenwick, all of them good sports. My successor is Col. Hugh loicay, a fine sportsman of whom I hear good accounts. In writing for a Chicago Equestrian Society, the his- tory of a horse purchased in Chicago should not be omitted. My hunting pal, John S. Rigg, of Appleby, Eng- land, one of the very best across country in England, was over here purchasing hunters. One day he came across a rough looking chestnut colt, big of limb, shortly coupled with a blood looking head, but a bit thin in his waist. This horse had cost $187.50 at auction. He brought him to our stable on Lake Park Avenue. A day or two afterward, he tried him over some jumps. He made a great grunt and of course that meant that he would be crabbed on examination by a "vet". Rigg was discouraged, so I said I would take him off his hands as he looked like carrying me at the Yards or in the park. 825 E. 50th street TELEPHONE MIDWAY 6181 Ralph I.

We got a stout piece of twine and made a standing martingale, then started out. We met a motor outside the alley and he jumped ten feet. When we got to Drexel Boulevard he went all over the place — through the bushes, over garden plots, etc. It was hopeless, so I sent him to the late WiUie Good- win's at Naperville. There I forgot him from May till August. One of the dealers at the Yards was shipping a load of horses to Liverpool, England, so I sent this horse along. His first performance in Scotland was to put the groom down. However, they put a strong stand- ing martingale on him and although always motor shy, he entered well with hounds. He was a natural jumper. 1 began riding him when I got home. One day before the regular season began, when we were cub hunting, hounds got away on the line of an old fox. They went a great pace across the vale, then we breasted a long steep hill, a mile or more, down the other wide. Just about the bottom of it the fox turned nearly directly back. We had of course to go with the pack. The chestnut colt, which by this time I had named Chicago, never stopped galloping and charged every fence (and there were some woolly ones) with great courage. I had got a prize. For ten years I rode him over hill and dale. It did not matter whether you were in a close country or galloping over the hills — he was equally at home. I never had a horse that loved a jump as much as he did. He went right at it pulling double and in later years never wasted a pound of energy. While he was a damphool when he met or saw a motor he was one of the wisest horses I ever crossed country upon. One morning he was dead in his stall. Well done, good and faithful servant! Not only servant, but a rare com- panion. 118 Continued from page 61 Completion of the plans of the South Park Commission providing a bridle path on the new made land along the lake front from Jackson Park to Chicago River, will make possible a complete circuit of the city. On carrying out such a program, it is entirely within the realm of possibility that endurance tests for the United States army may be held in the future on a three hundred mile circuit beginning and ending on bridle paths of Chi- cago parks. These tests, held annually, are to bring out the types and strains best calculated for the rigors of cavalry service. The creation of a great army of civilian riders in this and other cities, mounted on horses conforming to the ideal cavalry types (for the best animals for army pur- poses are also the most valuable for sport), will create a demand which will do more than any other single factor to encourage the breeding of an ample supply of suitable horses. The main city organ, through which riding interests are united, is the Chicago Equestrian Club. The American Remount Association with headquarters at Washington, D. C, has many members in Chicago. It is concerned primarily with encouraging the breeding of cavalry horses, and in this connection, gives general sup- port to horseback riding everywhere, to build up a nation- wide market for cavalry mounts, which can be drawn on in emergency. And finally, there is no phase of horse production and use which is not the direct concern of the Horse Associa- tion of America, which has its national and city head- quarters at 822 Exchange Ave., Union Stock Yards. Wayne Dinsmore is the Secretary. GEO. B. McKILLIP, M.D.V. WALTER J. McKILLIP. M.D.V.

You can, if your riding equipment is made by the House of Campbell. For each piece produced by the House of Campbell is the expression of a master-workman's joy in his craft. Every saddle is fashioned with artistic care, by hand, and bears the individual mark of its maker, just as every great canvas is distinguished by the name of its master painter. Comfort and distinctive appearance for both horse and rider are combined in our famous Whitman- English Type Saddles. Likewise our Goodrick- Saumur U. S. Army Officers' Saddle, adapted from the notable Saumur saddle of France and now ob- tainable for civilian use, is all that can be desired for style and ease of riding. These saddles are made exclusively by us.
