J Q I , .car f U -N ! I1 4. X- : K '-1924-WDOUGHBOY F an annual affair which will be most popular with the members of this garrison and our civilian friends in this community. A riding team of five officers and five ladies representing the Infantry School attended the Augusta Horse Show on February 29th and March lst and returned after a most successful and interesting trip. The Infantry School teams won 11 firsts, 14 seconds, 13 thirds and 11 fourths. The mem- bers of the team were entered in twenty two events and out of a possible seventy nine places they won forty eight. This is a remarkable record considering the fact that our horses were competing against some of the best stock in this part of the country. Tipperary, a horse from Norton, Connecticut, with an international reputation was defeated in the champion- ship class by Cyclone from the Infantry School Stables. The Augusta Show is to be an annual affair and it is the hope of the Infantry School team to repeat its performance next year. ea ef , aa . I fl f just f T . , Aafgzfn- , ...L Wu l f? .
