Completion of the plans of the South Park Commission 

 providing a bridle path on the new made land along 

 the lake front from Jackson Park to Chicago River, will 

 make possible a complete circuit of the city. 



On carrying out such a program, it is entirely within 

 the realm of possibility that endurance tests for the United 

 States army may be held in the future on a three hundred 

 mile circuit beginning and ending on bridle paths of Chi- 

 cago parks. These tests, held annually, are to bring out 

 the types and strains best calculated for the rigors of 

 cavalry service. 



The creation of a great army of civilian riders in this 

 and other cities, mounted on horses conforming to the 

 ideal cavalry types (for the best animals for army pur- 

 poses are also the most valuable for sport), will create 

 a demand which will do more than any other single factor 

 to encourage the breeding of an ample supply of suitable 

 horses. 



The main city organ, through which riding interests 

 are united, is the Chicago Equestrian Club. 



The American Remount Association with headquarters 

 at Washington, D. C, has many members in Chicago. It 

 is concerned primarily with encouraging the breeding of 

 cavalry horses, and in this connection, gives general sup- 

 port to horseback riding everywhere, to build up a nation- 

 wide market for cavalry mounts, which can be drawn on 

 in emergency. 



And finally, there is no phase of horse production and 

 use which is not the direct concern of the Horse Associa- 

 tion of America, which has its national and city head- 

 quarters at 822 Exchange Ave., Union Stock Yards. Wayne 

 Dinsmore is the Secretary.
