BOTH MEN AND HORSES
ENJOY RIDE IN THE RAIN
Women Also on Sunday Canter and
Mist Puts Roses on Their
Cheeks.

Washingtonians rode yesterday in
spite of the weather or because of the
weather. The veteran riders declared
that the day was one of the finest for
men. women and horses, and those who
Joined in the riding said that it was
one of the stirring experiences of life.
"A ride on a misty day with dash
of rain in the face is the best COM
pIexion beautifier l know" said pink
faced woman as she dismounted at the
end of the ffteen-mile ride.
Even the horses were frolicsome and
seemed enthusiastic over some of the
delightfully."- muddy trails. Every
horse seemed to say, with his ears.
This mist. drizzle and cool soft mud
reminds me of the happy days when l
lived in the country. 1t is SO much
better to be out on a gentle rainy Sun
day than to stand around the stable all
day reading the race and horse show
news"
1t is not known just how many of
the Washington riders put on their
slickers yesterday and rode through the
woods and fields, because many of
them did not connect up at the start
with the back-to-the- saddle groups,
but followed the trails on their own
bent.
''Keeps People Youthful"
One of the veteran horsemen, a man
who rides a famous horse for the
health and pleasure there is in it, said:
This is real weather. The rain and
mud are good for man and beast. 1t
makes the spirit thrill and the blood
bound. 1t keeps people in the state
of boyhood and girlhood. 1t keeps US
from growing up and fading out There
is more fun in riding in weather like
this than when the sun is shining and
the air is balmy, but not enough peo-
folk have the idea that it is proper
to stay indoors when the clouds hang
low. They should put on a sweater.
raincoat and water-tight shoes or
boots, mount their horse and' come
along"
The morning riding, which was join
ed in by students of George Washing
ION University and their friends, was
ed by Carl Won Zielinski, and trails
through Virginia west and south of the
Chain bridge were followed.
Afternoon Ride and Supper.
The afternoon riding was led by C. X.
Brands. The afternoon riding did not
end until long after dark, and the
riders. after putting up their horses
at convenient stable, sat down to a
saddle supper at the home of Mr..
Brands. 1t was a merry affair.
Among the Washington riders in the
riding groups were the Misses Oracle
Wemstall, Helen Upton, Sue H. Murray,
Anne Regan, Vera OMara, Antoinette
Jarrett. Ida Bowes, the Misses Wor-
ster. and Messrs Charles Kothe, John
II. Evanis, A. G. Maddox, William Gill
ligan, W. A Stetson, G. NJ. Deeds, Carl

dette and Moore.

Detective Opens Boxes.

Detective Burlingame was sent to the
station to make an investigation. He
ripped the bottom off one of the boxes,
while employees of the express company
watched him. and quickly discovered
that it contained nothing but sand and
stone.
ed and the detective found that all
contained similar material - enough
sand and stone to start the foundation
of small structure. 1t is highly prob
able that the material will be used on
a District improvement and without
cost to the District.
The name Of the shipper of the boxes
was furnished the police. 1t is prob
able that the federal authorities will
make an investigation at Batavia to
determine what prompted the shipper
to express the boxes to this ity.

Ten Addressed to Secretary of All

Ten boxes, containing sand and pieces
of broken granite, sent for the honor
of the country" and addressed Hon
Secretary of all the United States
were received at the office of the
American Express Company from Ba-
tavia. N. Y. They weighed from twen-
ty-three to sixty-seven pounds and
were marked: No explosive. No

So far as the police know, it is stated
the address and inscription on the
packages suggested nothing out OF
the ordinary to the express company s
employees at Batavia. They accepted
them in the ordinary routine of bust
ness, collected 81 express charges and
shipped them to this city.
Five of them reached White House
station Saturday night and the others
were delivered there yesterday morn
ing. Express company employees dis
played an unusual amount of interest
in the packages. They were curious
to learn what the boxes contained and
were a trifle afraid of an explosion.
