IT rs PROVED THAT WOMAN rs
A HORSES MASTER.

Allls Allnnio ThSmpson Wlthout the AE
q q REidle Rcmains Perched - the
Animals Back n q quiet and In-
demonstratlVe Test IN Central Park.
A sightseeing automobile turned OR
the East Drive in Central Park yesterday
morning directly in front Of the Obelisk.
started down the roadway facing the
Metropolitan Museum and stopped short
with an amaned chng Even the mega
phone man Vas taken unAwere8 for .
moment at what 10 saw. and that h say
ing lot. for it isn't often that you can
catch any Of thsss little bright eyed
Raedeksrs. Thers's not much that they
don't know.
Take the one that megaphOnss on River
side Drive. for instance. Why. he can
show You the very spot at the foot Of
West Seventy second street where WASH
ington escaped by tho skin Of bis teeth
and the aid Of tiny scallOp' from the
closely pursuing British while Gen. Put
mans Green Mountain Boys held the
heights Of Mount Tom; and furthermore
he has Il all down pat about Columbia
University being formerly Queens Col
legs and changing its name during the
French and Indian wars. It's wonder
ful what an education will do these days
But what was Il that the megAphOns
man saw In the roadway facing the Metro
politan yesterday morning. A strayed
Egyptian goddess At plAy1 A park
policeman on postl nurse girl watch
ing her baby7 No, nothing quite a. odd:
but rather a Young woman in a khaki
suit with a whip on horse with no bride.
Yes. sir. And every now and then the
horse stood right up on IL hind legs. and
the young woman. having nothing 10
hold on 10. didn't, but just let herself be
thrown way back until the press agent
was aWiully afraid that she would fall
Oh and had 90 bite his nails and tell all
about his fear.
And then the horse put his front feet
down and put his hack feet up and the
Young woman let herself be thrown way
forward, reversing the process you ses.
All ths while this was going on the camera
bOvs were taking pictures OF the young
woman aud saving. just q minute. and
will you lend me some plates, thaTlieY'
and You bet your neck won't. and
pleasant things like that.
Put tho funny part Of II was that the
young woman on the horse with no bride
didn't seem 20 mind having her picture
taken very much. Perhaps the press
agent told her not 70 get mad about u
Then when the horse had done this vice
versa business. he did a little dance and
paved the air some. and everybody on the
Pavement in front Of the museum wanted
90 know " that wasn't just the cuteSt
thing
You -, the press agent is a very kind
man and he said to himself look here.
Frank Winch, it isn't every one gets a
chance 20 90 70 the dardeD and Sc Miss
Minnie Thompson ride that thoroughbred
steed Of Kentucky, Virgil T.. grandson Of
the famous racer Hanover. in one Of the
most unigue and soul stirring features Of
Buffalo Bills Wild West show. 90 why not
take Miss Thompson up 10 Central Park
and let her show the people how she does
IL? And Of cOurss Il any one simply has
20 take picture while she h doing it,why
suppose we'll have % put up with u,
though goodness knows YOU can't dOany-
thing ouietly nowadnys.'
So he did that kind deed yesterday
ilf course an this about Franks kindness
il extremely confidential. for he Woulln't
like 20 have Il known that he did that
thing yesterday ont Of Warmheartedness
lie saws Miss ThOmpsOn's performance
VAS by no means unmotivated. The
action was introduced TO prove or dis
prove whether or not a high school horse
IL trained 20 certain arenic conditions or
s under the control Of its master any
where AZ any time
So science has taken one step more in
her triumphal progress. has turned on
another licht In the crepuscular lahyrinths
ol the unknown. because Miss Minnie
Thompson certainly stuck 90 that horse,
hridle or no bride
