gress will obtain larger representa-
ton on all of the big committees by
which the most important. legislation
is framed. Leaders of both parties
began figuring Friday On the new
alignment as it now stands by the
ways and means committee which re-
ports the revenue, tariff and bonus
bills, consists of Is members-17 Re-

the lineup is determined by the size
of the house majority, Democrats, it
is stated, will insist on a division OF

Fordney means that Representative
Greene, Iowa, ranking Republican,
will become chairman under the SEN
iority rule system.

advantage is taken of them by the
many horse owners and lovers Of rid
ing in that vicinity Greenwich, Just
across the Connecticut line, is the
center of considerable activity, and
further along one finds this combined
sport and health giver very much in
vogue at Stamford, Westport and
points inland.
Staten Island, too, has its contribu-
tons to good horseback riding, al
though much of it is of necessity
through fields and woods, as its roads
are used largely for motor vehicles.
1t may be that Chicago has a
greater mileage for horseback riding
than Greater New York, but this Is
doubtful. 1t is to be acknowledged,
however. that the Western city is
ahead in one respect. and that is In
the manner in which its country
roads are marked for riders. The trail
markers are fourteen inches square
and picture a rider on his morning
canter with horse stretching out to
the task ahead of him, fully enjoying
as much as the man on his back the
exercise and pleasure to be derived
only from a brisk ride on good and
spirited animal. 1t is true that some
of the wooded trails in outlying sec
tions of New York are lined with
markers, this being particularly so
through the Piping Rock roads, but
they are sadly missing elsewhere.
