tortures of indigestion, as the exercise is a most direct and 

 active tonic to the digestive functions. Also, it greatly 

 encourages if not compels deep breathing, which increases 

 the supply of oxygen and so develops and strengthens the 

 lungs, which in turn cleanses the blood. Aside from the 

 general systematic benefits resulting from riding a horse 

 the exercise is delightfully comfortable and gratifying, and 

 the associations pleasant, for a horse is one of the most 

 friendly and agreeable of companions. 



"If proper exercise is not regularly taken," Dr. Grayson 

 adds, "certain organs become defective, so that the heart 

 is called upon to work at a higher tension in forcing the 

 blood through the system."

 Shore Country Club Magazine 



South Side Equestrians will now realize and appre- 

 ciate the good work of the Chicago Equestrian Association 

 when they ride through the South Park System, as the 

 new bridle paths leading from Drexel Boulevard to Wash- 

 ington Park are completed, as is also the Mounting Sta- 

 tion at the junction of the two new additions. 



This is an improvement that must be appreciated by 

 all horseback riders. The Association is now turning its 

 attention to connecting the parks by bridle paths leading 

 to the Forest Preserve, and it is expected that very soon 

 one of these paths along Peterson Road, on the north side, 

 will be completed.
