FUTURE OF THE HORSE
Large crowds gathered in Regent's Park recently to see the annual carthorse parade. Five hundred drivers and nearly 600 gaily-decorated horses competed. Sir Walter Gilbey, president of the London Carthorse Parade Society, declared at the parade luncheon that there was still a big future for the horse. "A most satisfactory feature of my old age," he said, "is that the younger generation is taking to horse exercise. When the younger generation becomes older we shall have more people riding than ever before in this country." Sir Walter, who is 79, added that he was looked on as an "old fogey" and "stupid," but he felt that there was no fear whatever of the horse going out of existence. It was a mechanically-minded age, but horses were absolutely essential to some businesses.
