They are Conspicuous Part of Tuesday's
Equestrian Gymkhana.
Big- Company of Onlookers Enjoy
Afternoon of Merriment and
Entertainment.
ANY new and novel fea
tures added to the inter
est of Tuesday afternoons
Gymkhana, a big field
participating and several
hundred onlookers enjoy
ing the fun. Track and ring events were
equally divided and there was variety iii
the program ; the amusing and the ludi
crous, happily intermingling with more
spirited contests which called for nerve
and skill; keen friendly rivalry for the
possession of the ribbons oilered giving
zest to every finish.
The program opened with a short cav
alry drill following which came the ludi
crous doughnut race which proved, as
usual, not half as easy as it looked, the
manner in which the fried ciphers spun
and wiggled making many declare that
they were alive. The trick was to ride
to a doughnut, grasp it in the teeth, with
out the aid of the hands, and return after
riding around a "stake horse" stationed
across the ring.
Three heats were necessary owing to
the entry list, Mr. Todd and Miss Mar
genthau, Mr. Barrett and Mrs. Moore,
Mr. Ilurd and Mrs Lindenberg, winning
the trials and meeting in the finals
which Mr. Ilurd, Mr. Barrett, Mrs. Lin
denberg, Mrs. Moore, Miss Margenthau
and Mr. Todd won in the order given.
Next came a brand new event which
promises to be popular, the clothes pin
race. The trick was to ride to clothes
pins, four in number, placed upon
shingles, and to transfer them to other
shingles upon the opposite side of the ring,
and to do the trick right required clever
handling of horses, speed and steadiness
in adjustment and removal.
Two preliminary heats were run, Mr.
Margenthau, Miss Burch and Miss Mar
genthau; Mr. Barrett, Miss Biggins and
Mr. Creamer winning ; Mr. Barrett, Mr.
Margenthau, Miss Margenthau and Miss
Burch finishing in the order given in the
finals.
Another new number followed, the
bean carrying contest, and the riders
struggled and the crowd roared through
out it. What to do was easy enough to
understand, but how to do it was a problem
which Miss Boyer solved by a long lead
over the field ; her theory being that the
slower she went the more beans she could
transfer in the alotted time.
Five hundred and nine was her total
with Miss Margenthau second with 423,
Mr. Barrett third with 374, Mr. Burch
of beans he made across the ring
showed.
Miss Day scored 129, Mr. Creamer 35,
and Miss Paterson 21, it being generally
conceded that there were "holes" in the
spoons carried by the latter trio.

fourth with 312, Mr. Margenthau fifth

Mr. Todd being seventh with 124, a force

as not only his score, but the white trail
Track events were next in order, the
familiar and always interest-holding,
lance and ring contest being first; the
trick was to go the length of the track
