and every shade OF color was represented
in the boomers, from somber black to
fiaring cardinal. Many of them are grace
full riders, and attracted attention wherever
they wheeled by. The male contingent
was also out in force, but some of these

selves on the grass slope on the southern
side of the space IN front OF the band-shell
