PLANS FOR THE RALLIES
OF SADDLE REVIVALISTS
Promoters Say Interest in Horseback
Riding Is Spreading-Program
for Tomorrow.

The saddle revivalists have been busy
during the week making plans and
preparations for the rallies tomorrow.
The revivalists say that interest in the
back-to-the- saddle movement is spread
ing and that more men and women will
be riding horseback tomorrow, IL the
weather continues fine, than turned out
last Sunday. The campaign for health,
rosy cheeks and big appetites goes on,
and many persons who have not ridden
a horse for years have busted the old
saddle and put it on their family car
riage horse, or some other family's
carriage horse, and gone trotting or
cantering through the woods. Many of
the horsemen of Washington, whose in
terest extends beyond themselves and
their own particular horse, are lending
their aid in this merry, good-natured
movement which aims to draw people
back to the saddle that they may enjoy
the benefit of exercise, good air, seem
cry and jolly company

ASK "COMMODITY RATES"
INTO AND OUT OF THE CITY
Washington Business Men Present
Earnest Pleas to the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

Pleas for the establishment of COM
modify rates into and out of the Ma
tional Capital were made yesterday
afternoon before the interstate COM
merce commission by counsel for the
Chamber of Commerce, the Retail Mer-
chants Association and about $50 in
dividual merchants. Chaplin Brown ap-
peared for the Chamber of Commerce
and Maurice D. Rosenberg for the Re-
tail Merchants Association, while the
individual merchants were represented
jointly by the two attorneys. Frederick
Mckenny appeared for the defendant
railroads, of which there are thirty
eight.
Contention of the Plaintiffs.
The plaintiff attorneys pointed out
that the Virginia cities have COM
modify rates on 500 commodities.
whereas the District of Columbia has
only twelve. They asserted that as a
result goods could be shipped from
points north and east through Wash
ington to points south and return
cheaper than the same goods, could be
shipped from the same points to Wash
ington.
/ While mott denying the facts, the rail-
roads took the position that steamship
competition in the southern cities
forced the lower rate. The local counsel
pointed out that Washington, too, has
steamship competition which furnishes
free delivery in the city, practice
which has been withdrawn by the rail-
roads.

Demand for Riding Horses.

1t is developing that a great many
men and women are hiring horses at
livery stables. The bask-to-the-saddIe
people have nothing to do with this.
but at all stables there is a demand for
riding horses on Sunday which the sta
blemen have found difficulty in meeting
and in many cases have not been able
to meet.
The back-to-the saddle promoters
urge that only horses that are absolute
ly safe and quiet under all conditions
be hired. No stableman should take any
that the rider will be safe on a particu-
lar horse. it will be all right, but. he
knows that many men and women who
apply for horses have a tendency to ex-
aSgerate their experience and skill 1T
riding. and no horse not known to be
safe should be let out to the back-to-
the-saddle people. The promoters of
this movement in taking the riding
groups over the park trails have ever
been careful to avoid too steep down
grades through fear that some riders
might come on horses with bowed
tendons or sprung knees and get a
fall.
There will be a saddle rally for a ride
through nearby parts of Virginia to-
morrow morning under the lead of Mr.
Zielinskf. and Mr.. Zielinski also will
take out riding party this afternoon,
starting from the Aqueduct bridge
The main rally will be tomorrow aft

Suggestion by Promoter.

1t has been found that some of the
old riders who have laid away their
saddles for easier and cheaper forms of
because, not having ridden for some
time, they fear they may not cut a
handsome figure on a horse To cover
that point one of the back-to-the-sad-
die promoters said: "If man ever
knew how to ride, he cannot forget. 1t
is something that comes back to him
very quickly. If he ever rode SO that
swing in jiffy. He may make some of
his unused muscles stiff for a. little
while. but that makes no difference.
If man really rode we'll as a boy or
youth he will come back to the saddle
and put it all over the riders who never
saw horse until they were grown up
and then learned to ride by taking a
correspondence course in horsemanship
or who acquired the art in two easy
lessons in the park. The back -to-the-
riders and all the new riders will be
just as welcome.
There will be two saddle rallies to-
morrow. The afternoon rally will be in
Rock Creek Park and the start will be
made at o'clock from Pierce Mill The
veteran riders in charge of this meet
will be Mr.. Brands. Mr.. KEEPS, Mr..
Brown and Mr.. Zielinski. new saddle
path route will be followed and any
rider can quit when he wants to or go
as far as his horse will carry him. No
body who comes back to the saddle is
under any obligation to join one of the
riding groups. The park is his and he
can tell everybody that he has been
riding for years and years." that his
horse took the red, white and blue rib
bon at the Addison Square horse show
in 1892. and so forth. All the back to-
the-saddle people want is that the
riders shall turn out.

DIRECTORS HOLD
DAILY MEETINGS
Plan More Changes in Con
duet Of Commercial
Club.

Radical changes in The conduct OF
the business Of the Tulsa Commercial
club are being planacd by the newly
elected president, c. a. Wright and
the directors. The first innovation was
started yesterday when the directors
and Officers met at downtown
restaurant for lunch and while eat
ing discussed the affairs OF the or
ganizatiOn.
It Is the plan Of the directors to
meet every day for lunch in an in
formal manner. Most of the directors
eat their lunch down town anyway,
and instead of all eating at scattered
places. it Is 0Ie plan to have them
meet at one place and discuss per
tinent matters. At various intervals
certain committees Of the club Will
also meet with the directors
In following this plan it Is likely
the club will go still further and copy
the Musllogee plan. This means do.
ing away with n high salaried secre-
tary Under this plan q wide-awake
man who is also a stenograpler VIII
be employed 10 look after the head
quarters ald care for routine busl-
ness
The president will be paid nom
inal salary aud will be the directing
force behind all activities by means
OF the daily lunCheous, working in
close touch with all directors and
committees.
President Wright is already on the
for the coming year and
will likely make some announcements
in the near future.
