NE of the most enjoyable pastimes for the students of Edison Institute is riding. Horses and riders can be found at almost any time of the year trotting through the Village or eantering on the bridle path. Riding is available during ev- ery season of the year except winter, and many fine riders can be found among our students. An exhibition held at the Northville Fair attracted the students shown below and the many fine trophies which they won for their knowledge of horsemanship. Riding is in- structed very thoroughly by Captain Armstrong and many students start riding at an early age. 43 Qhwwifw 64 RI DI CAPTAIN ARMSTRONG
