 During the discussion yesterday it was fully realized by the officers and men that, whether intended or not. the divisions real efficiency in one im- portant direction, the handling of ani. nals and related aspects, would be on test before the people of the North. west on the eve of it's expected de- parture for the battle front. But as- surances were ample that the Ninety. first Division would more than reflect cvredit on itself. A tensely competi. tive series of horsemanship events has been scheduled, in which not only the private soldiers, but the officers also. will participate.
 As matter of fact many of the un. it's of the Division are now ready to enter the contests. They have been undergoing intensive training in ad. dition to their regular drills, during the past three weeks ana all Cnat re- mains is for each to choose it's repre-. sentatives for the finals that will take place June 16.
