24 THE TRAIL RIDERS' LAMENT Ther€'s hard work done By many a one, In the crisp cool autumn days; We brush the hills To curb bad spills When winter comes to stay. When the snow abounds On the 'Merry-Go-Round, And the Highland Fling is .fast; We take to our skis Through winds that freeze And cro·ss-check to the last.

The Trail Riders helped to control the crowds at the Dominion Championship jumping event, and· at the Invita-tion meet held a little later.
