The above is the result OF the initiatory
effort to create crack cavalry troop in
this city. and to have it attached to the
First brigade of the National guard.
DIR. Edward J. Hadtield. one of the
signers to the applica ton, said yesterday
afternoon: The proposed cavalry troop
is really the outgrowth of the Gentle:
men Riding club Quite number of
mem bers thought that by merging into a
cavalry troop the exclusively esthetic
side would take on utiitarian coloring
that the club had not hitherto possessed.
Mr.. Thompson was active in promoting
the idea, and I think it to be good one:
This city has no cavalry, and In time of
necessity, such. for instance. as strike
riots. such an arm of the National guard
service would be able to do effective duty
to the city and state. The need of horse
soldiery was demonstrated last summer
in Sacramento and West Oakland. The
esthetc character of the Gentlemen
Riding club would not be lost as the
troop could still enjoy its rides in COM
Max Meyberg said: 81 regret to see the
Gentlemen's Riding club making the
effort to merge itself into cavalry troop.
The club was organized upon social lines
only, and was intended to be in fact as
well as in name a Gentlemen's Riding
club. AS such it demonstrated its useful
ness during the late festival. As troop
lost entirely. Los Angeles possesses many
finely bred horses and many splendid
riders, and such an organization as was
the cub was natural and charming out
growth OF these conditions combined
with high social standard obtaining in
the city. Many gentlemen do not and
will not care to don uniform of any
but the application is not. yet granted
and il NAV not be granted ~
