iCOLBrS RIDING ACADEMY ' !, 'FE COLBY BUYS I& HIGH- ! • : CLASS HORSES te. ' Just to keep abreast of the times MNHeary now lays claim to an uptOMdate riding academy. N. F. Colby, t*e of the very best horsemen in this section, has purchased fifteen high-class, gaited horses and has established the above t named enterprise on his farm on the Woodstock road a short distance west of town. iAH of the animals have been tcmined under Mr. Colby's personal supervision and those who have visited the place pronounce the horses the very best ever brought to this community. In fact, the animals .compare very favorably with those owned in places of the kind in nearby cities and towns. All new saddles have been purchased and it is Mr. Colby's aim to %*ive the public the very best of service at all times. In the list are com <5 tained some very fine gaited and "peppy" animals suited for the men, while the horses for the ladies are all very gentle and can be handled by any girl or woman. We believe that the new academy "will fill a long felt want. Many times in the past seasons summer guests have made inquiries as to saddle 'horses and very much to their disappointment they were told that McHenry was unable to , accommodate them in that respect. However, Mr Colby has come to the front and henceforth summer guests will be able to enjoy this healthful recreation .while spending their vacation periods Srtth us. Mr. CdTby will be pleased to have the public call at his place and inspect the horses and equipment. He has been a lover of horses from childhood and his father was a breeder of fine horses and always kept a fine string on his farm. In this way the son, who has thus opened the riding academy, became familiar irtth hones, their training and care. Some of the animals may be seen on our streets daily and they are surely a credit to the owner as well as to our city. ADDITIONAL PERSONAL ^ New pad of belt chains at the Nye jewelry store.
