On the South Side the same good work has been going 

 on, due to the efforts of the Association. The total mileage 

 of bridle paths in Washington Park now numbers 2%, 

 while Jackson Park has 4 miles. It can be safely said 

 that no city in this country or Europe has more and 

 better bridle paths than those of Chicago. 



If the Chicago Equestrian Association is given the sup- 

 port and the encouragement it has enjoyed in the past 

 Chicago will soon head the list of cities in these respects: 

 It wiU have the finest and most representative Equestrian 

 Club in the United States, more miles of bridle paths in 

 its park system than any other city, and a comprehensive 

 system of paths connecting the South, North and West Park 

 Systems with the Forest Preserve, and a bridle path in 

 the new additions to the South Park System. Also, with 

 the completion of the Lake Front Park Chicago will have 

 a wonderful bridle path connecting Grant Park with 

 Jackson Park and a bridle path linking the North Park 

 System with Grant Park. 



At present the activities of the Association are two-fold. 

 They are directed toward increasing the membership of 

 the organization until it numbers every rider and horse 

 lover in Chicago, and to secure additional bridle paths 

 throughout Chicago's park system and the surrounding 

 County Forest Preserve. To accomplish the former ob- 

 jective this Year Book has a genuine mission, for its aim 

 is to interest every horseman and horsewoman in the 

 activities of the association and thus secure additional 

 members. Every member will receive a copy of this book, 

 and with the circulation thus assured many new members 

 will become interested in our work.
