Ponies Do the Work
Riders Get RequardS

before the winter season is
- over the Durland Riding
Academy expects to have offered
indoors every novelty feature of
outdoor riding, according to an
nouncement yesterday. Charles
Krause, the master of ceremonies,
adds that this weeks bill on
Wednesday night will be equally
as novel as any offered in the past.
Special attention will centre
around the Polo Bending Class,
This consists of riding a pony two
times the length of the ring
through ten sticks placed eight feet
apart and then racing twice the
length of the ring. This race al
ways is run in pairs, which makes
it more difficult. Each stick that is
touched or knocked down counts
against the pony and the prizes are
awarded to the riders accordingly.
The comedy event, the Pig Pen
Jump, will be repeated.
