AUGUSTA LENSKA, the contralto, is seen daily in Zurich on her beautiful thoroughbred “South Africa.” Being a South African, she emerges from the city gates at Zurich and goes for a three-hours’ ride over the great surrounding park-like country. All South Africans are good riders. All children there learn before five or six years of age and then they ride as if they were glued to their horses. The horse pictured here was sent over to Europe by her father who lives at Oudsthoorn in the Cape Colony, and this ani-maVs father was ridden by Augusta Lenska for three years, this, however, some twelve years ago.
