28 WINNETKA TALK January 22, 1927 North Shore Society Finds Usual Mid-Winter Activity Riding Club Elects New Officers; Gives Report of Progress BY MARGERY WINDES As a result of a meeting held at the University club Thursday noon, Janu- ary 13, at 12:30, the following north shore men have been elected officers and members of the board of directors of the Indian Hill Riding club. After serving as vice-president of this active and most prosperous club for two years, and after serving as president for two years, C. Colton Daughaday of Winnetka is retiring from the list of officers, to become one of the members of the board. Ernest H. Hicks of Winnetka has been elected president; Arthur M. Cox, vice president; Harry E. Miller, secre- tary; and Howard W. Fenton, treas- urer. In addition to the officers who automatically serve on the board, the following men will be included in the list of directors: Donald Dallas, Mark W. Cresap, C. Colton Daughaday, Don- ald F. McPherson, Martin Lindsay, Walter F. Wallace, Henry A. Gardner and Stephen A. Foster. The annual meeting of the Indian Hill Riding club was held at the club- house Monday, January 10, at which time an accounting of the year's activi- ties and president's and treasurer's reports were made, and plans for the new year were discussed. Under the direction of C. Colton Daughaday, the club has an interesting financial report of progress to make, as well as a splendid report of building activities, and general interest in the club as evidenced by the number of active members, and horses stabled. There is space for the stabling of fifty horses at present, with provision made in space to accommodate fifty more if expansion is necessary. The saddle room is adequate and adapted to the purposes of such a room. The women's and children's lounge is fitted out conveniently and furnished attrac- tively. Comfortable living quarters for the head groom and the grooms are provided. The kennels with six pairs of hounds, and accommodations for twelve pairs are in use, and twelve horses are owned by the club for members' use. Of interest to those not acquainted with equipment well- organized stables must have, are the electrical clipping machines, coolers, blankets, hunting fences and halters, also owned by the club. There are ninety-five members and more than twenty non-members have had guest privileges extended to them. With this record back of them, and with a regular schedule of drag hunts, early morning and evening rides show- ing the actual activities of the club, another season of pleasure awaits members announcement is made that a new jumping ring is being built, 700 feet around, for exercising and riding the horses. It has been called one of the best of its kind in this region and is being newly tiled and covered with fresh dirt. While some riding clubs have been forced out of existence through poor business management, the Indian Hill club can boast of a net operating profit for the year of $5,502. Evidence of the-keen interest in rid- ing that is being developed by the club, lies in the fact that winter riding is almost as popular as spring and fall riding. The drag hunts are of course discontinued until better weather and ground conditions, but brisk canters in the early morning and afternoon are still enjoye | by many active members. cn Elect New Officers to Work for Dorcas Home Mrs. Henry T.
