Saddle H orse Roundup Attracts 10,000; Lauded as Most Unique Event Charles J. Cronan, President of National Breeding* Association, Impressed by Diversity of Program. 15V BEATRICE Bl RGAN Timrs Woman’s Page Editor INDIANA horsemen had a day 'made to order” for (he third annual saddle horse roundup of the Indiana Saddle Horse Association yesterday at Gregg Farm. A clear sky and warm breezes drew thousands to the highways- lo the Meridian-st drive passing Gregg Farm. Approximately 10.000 ol them stopped to witness one of the most unique equestrian events in the country 'l ' association can claim that its roundup is unique without excusing itself .or over-enthusiastic pride. We have the word of Charles J. Cronan,

, Louisville, that such a boast is warranted. Mr. Cronan, secretary of the American Saddle Horse Breeders Assoiation, came to the roundup with his family and his nattering comment was: ”1 never have seen so diversified a program of horsemanship. You do not emphasize any particular class but encourage the use of the saddle horse generally.” We accepted his remarks with what we considered pardonable pride. He continued: “You know yours is the only association which sponsors a saddle horse breeding department in the 4-H Clubs.” That project of the association he considers its most valuable contribution of the equestrian world. Last week Mr. Cronan and his 7-.vear-old daughter Virginia rode to the hounds with tiie Iroquois Hunt

Miss Kurgan

Club at Lexington. Virginia, Mr. Cronan believes, holds Ihr record of being the youngest equestrian to go on a run in the Lexington field. Ht.s son Charles J. 11l is anticipating riding with his father in a hunt next week. Mr. and Mrs. Cronan and their children sat in a box next to another group of disfingu sh-d guests, Colonel Robert Rossow, who came from

Fort Knox, Ky„ and Colonel John S. Wood and Major B. F. Hoge, official representatives of Gen. L. L. Gignilliat of Culver Military Academy. Spectators arrived continuously from the time the show s aided at 10 until the last event late in the afternoon. Truck loads of horses pulled in at the farm on Saturday night and were stabled under a big tent. Families and friends of entrants from several Indiana towns wgre in the bleachers and boxes to applaud their favorites in the ring. Fred Sharp.

Ihe money taken in by the St. Margaret Hospital Guild members at the grtc is to be contributed to its fund for the occupational therapy department at City Hospital.
