the Program.
HURSDAY afternoon's
equestrian Gymkh ana
was easily the most
novel and enjoyable of
the season, characterized
by snap and go through
out; novelties adding to the interest,
several hundred people enjoyed the fun.
An even dozen riders participated,
prizes being awarded for the highest
total number of points made during the
afternoon; first and second in each
event, counting ten and five,respectively.
Miss Grace Iliggins of New York, and
Mrs. John Phillip Sousa, won the
women's prizes. Mr. J." F. Cassidy of
New York, and Dr. Myron W. Marr of
Dorchester, leading the men in a tie, Mr.
Cassidy winning the toss. Others who
participated were Mrs. Leonard Tufts ;
Miss Lillian Hungerford and Miss Grace
Iliggins, both of New York ; Mr. F. B.
Nostrand of New York ; Mr. II. II.Kirk
patrick of Philadelphia, and Mr. Richard
Southgate of Worcester, Mass. Details
of management were in the hands of a
committee including Mr. John Philip
Sousa, Mr. S. Bruce Elwell of Harvard,
Mass., Mr. Converse Wurdeman of Mil
waukee,Miss Harriet Horton of William
sport and Miss Ruby Sewall of Kansas
City.
Easily the novelty of the afternoon
was the "somebody else's horse" race in
which mounts were exchanged by lot,
and ridden down the course and back,
the last to finish winning, any horse
coming to a standstill during the race,
being disqualified. The result of the re
versed order of things was most amusing
and all sorts of tricks were resorted to
to delay the progress of the journey,
some crossing back and forth, others
backing or side stepping. Not long after
the turn had been made it was apparent
that the contest lay between Mrs. Sousa
and Mr. Southgate, which the former
won in a thrilling finish, the animals
neck and neck and both riders holding
them back for all they were worth !
Snap and go characterized the familiar
scarf race, the event ridden in couples
against time, down the course and back,
Dr. Marr and Mrs, Tufts leading in
twenty-four and two-fifths seconds. Mr.
Cassidy and Miss Hungerford, and Mr.
Kirkpatrick and Miss Iliggins, each made
twenty-four and four-fifths seconds, but
in the ride off, Miss Iliggins, through
trouble with her horse,exceededthe time
limit.
The water carrying race was a new
feature which created much amusement,
contestants being required to carry a
lard pail of water down the course and
back at full speed, the spilling of too
much disqualifying. Mr. Cassidy made
the trip in nineteen seconds and Mr.
Nostrand in twenty-one; Mrs. Tufts
making twenty-two and three-fifths
seconds and Miss Iliggins twenty-seven.
The lance and ring contest was fast
no ugh to keep the crowd on edge
throughout. Dr.Marr making the journey
in twenty-nine seconds and securing five
rings, Mr. Kirkpatrick bringing back
four rings in thirtj-four seconds. Mrs.
Tufts took six rings in twenty-four and
four-fifth seconds and Miss Iliggins five
in thirty-two seconds.
The interest aroused has led to plans
for another event to be held Thursday
next for which a large field is assured.
