Equestriennes Take Advantage of
Cool Weather to Enjoy the Sport
G

STTV.
OOL weather this summer, al
though it has taken much of the
zest out of swimming and bath
ing, has brought into favor a very old
sport, horseback riding. Did you ever
hear of a heroine in one of the dear
old romantic novels that couldn't ride
like Diana? Of course not! In even
our popular modern stories, the hero
ine is sure to be playing polo or tak
ing a gallop down the road some driz
zly, dark morning that brings the
color glowing to her cheeks.
This is the season for horsewomen
in Omaha, for there have been just
enough snappy mornings to make rid.
ing enjoyable. The one drawback
seems to be that good horses are
very rare since the European armies
have bought so many in this country,
so that society people who wish to
ride are obliged to commandeer well
broken down work horses for their
canters.
Some few are fortunate enough to
secure good saddle horses. Mr. and
Mrs. Ervine Brandeis are two of
these lucky ones. To see them rid
ing would win almost anyone to the
sport, for they are a handsome sight.
Mrs. Brandeis has some decidedly
good-looking riding togs, too. At the
Equal Franchise lawn fete at Binnie
Brae, she appeared in a white costume
with white riding breeches and white
boots. Since that time, indeed with
in the last week, a special shipment
of the very latest things in riding cos
tumes arrived for her from New
York. .
Miss Grace Allison really can't be
outdistanced in pietty riding clothes,
for she has a most dashing new rid
ing suit of the scarlet color which
one always associates with the lady
fair who does a-hunting go. Miss
Elizabeth Reed was seen riding a good
deal tne early part of the summer,
Mrs. Henry Doorly and an escort
ing gentleman are not infrequently
seen around the city s boulevards and
Miss Marjorie Howland has been rid
ing, too. Mrs. A. J. Sistek, who is
now on a vacation trio in Estes Park.
Colo., enjoys riding and has taken ad
vantage of the favorable season.
Dozens of others have forsaken
their motor cars for a good horse this
year. It is said that there is a large
amount of electricity thrown off by a
horse which imparts itself to the rider
as a vitalizing force. Thus if one rides
a fine horse he feels as much exhila
rated as if he had taken , a glass of
wine.
Two charming equestriennes who
are combining a summer at a lake re
sort with all the joys of horseback
riding are the Misses Beatrice and
Geraldine Johnson, daughters of Mr.
and Mrs. Dan Johnson, who live at
their summer cottage ' at Seymour
lake, ihese two pretty arirls. seen
in the above pictures, are members of
the group of horsewomen at Seymour
Lake club this summer. Both are
very popular there and at Happy Hol
low club. They are students at the
State university, where they have an
equally large and loyal company of
friends and admirers.
Miss Edna Peterson knows more
about horses, especially racing horses,
than two-thirds of the other girls in
Omaha put together. Ever since she
was a tiny girl she has "followed the
horses." Not only ' has she heard
about horses and read of their deeds,
but also she has driven them from
the time that she was able to hold the
reins. Her father,Mr. Edward Peter
son, president of the Omaha Driving
club, has owned for years fine racing
horses that are prize winners on the
grand circuit.' The grand circuit, be
it known, is the eastern association
of driving clubs, which holds the old
line Kentucky races that we always
think of when anyone speaks of horse
racing. Miss Peterson has attended
many of the big Kentucky race meets
and seen her father's own horses com
pete with other bloolled animals "on
the turf.'' '
She had planned, a trip a week or
two ago to Indiana, where the horse
from the Peterson stable, "Ben Earl,"
raced Single G, the record holder, but
was obliged t give up her plan. The
picture of her on this page was taken
out at the Benson race track,', where
many racing horses of the great west
ern circuit are trained. You should
ee her some time when she has
slipped out to the race track, coming
down the straightaway, her horse pac
ing along at a good clip while she sits
firmly in the seat of her sulky slight
ly bent forward to hold the reins
tight! Miss Peterson drives her
father's, handsome' big. touring car,
but she thinks that there is nothing
like riding behind a good racing
horse. Automobiles are useful, oh
yes, but when it comes to real sport,
she'll take the horse every time. Au
tomobile races as Compared with
horse races in her estimation are en
tirely de classe. '
The little darkey in- the inset was
a real southern jockey snapped out
at the Benson race track during the
recent racing meet there. His name
was Tom Connors and his southern f
accent was a broad as his legs are
bowed. In the races of the second
day his horse ran in second place, but
on the last day of the meet he won.
Although the little fellow has ,a face
as good-natured as thaj of a 10-year-old
boy, his gray tufts of hair peep
ing but from under his gay pink and
green jockey cap show that he has
grown old in the game.
