j. r. Anderson, who rides at over ~
pounds. is excec lingly clever. This mare
was recently purchased by Mr. Ander-
son. Miss Gertrude Rives is well mount
cd on all occasions. and any horse that
she may ride soon learns 10 respect her
power Of control, and respond TO the
touch Of her light hand. Miss Irene

tralian, and her younger sisters. Misses
Mamie and Phills, are often seen
mounted on the chestnut gelding Tam

hunter in the club. j. -. Mathews is
sometimes seen on the brown gelding

ease any obstacle on the course.
DR.. r. l.. Triton has a roam mare
trained and schooled by himself that
has few equals in the hunting field.
William Reuger has an excellent hunt
er I'm a big half-bred chestnut gelding.
The disposition Of this horse is about
perfect, and he takes 225 pounds over
any of the jumps with ease.
Mr.. ". NJ. Leathley rides several
good ones and is known as one OF the
most intrepid and fearless horsemen in
the club. Mr.. Joseph r.. j. Anderson
owns Pauline a roam mare by Inspector

good jumper and weight carrier.
Dr. JOS A. White rides a brown marc
that is quite handsome and stylish. She
goes all the Saits, and can jump well,

man. has well finished brown gelding
of medium size that does good work in
the field. and takes the hurdles nicely.
Major Otway 5. Allen owns and rides
the dark chestnut mare Murel by Mi

carrier. These are only a partial list of
the clever hunters owned by members
OF the club. and a number OF others are
equally deserving of commentator.

an hour and half and affording quite a |
variety of cross country work, bitches, |
fences and hurdles, the majority OF |
which were negotiated without difficulty,
though as usual, some came 10 grief.
