MORRISTOWN HORSE SHOW HELD IN RAIN; Children's Pony Jumping Class One of the New Features of Exhibition New York Times, 8 October 1915: "Five children, none over 15 years, took part in the pony jumping class...Miss Ruth Brady rode Miss Helen Fiske's Maidstone, with which she took the reserve...." Could this portrait be the same equestrian Miss Ruth Brady, a few years later? www.christies.com/lotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=...

Luther and Nicholas Tucker were the sons of Carll Tucker (1881-1956; Yale 1904) and the former Marcia Myers Brady (b. 1884). The Tuckers were members of the Rumson Country Club of Rumson NJ. Given Marcia's maiden name, it's probably reasonable to assume that the Brady children and Tucker children here were cousins. Luther Tucker (1909-2000) also attended Yale, and earned a divinity degree from the Episcopal Theological School. He was based in Shanghai while regional secretary of th World Student Christian Association (1938-1940), and became rector of the Indian Hill Church in Cincinnati. He married Josephine Pullman, and was father of four (Elizabeth, Marcia, Naomi, and Luther Jr.). He died while swimming off Old Lyme in the summer of 2000, age 91. articles.courant.com/2000-07-25/news/0007250608_1_seven-g...

Also, six children, but only five names? So one of these is a mystery girl!

Millicent Vernon Hammond Fenwick (1910-1992) became a Congresswoman in 1975. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millicent_Fenwick The child next to her might be her sister Mary Stevens Hammond.

what beautiful condition the horse was in.

Women were involved with horse racing in Australia by the 1890s. Since then, they have owned horses, rode horses, gambled on horses, and attended races. Their participation in the sport was hampered because of a lack of facilities and participation rates were not as high as in other sports. Women were involved in gambling on horse racing in Australia during the 1890s. They won some money by placing bets and in some cases were calling odds on races.[1] Women frequently attended horse racing events as spectators in Queensland during the second half of the nineteenth century.[2] By the late 1920s, there were efforts to ban horse racing in Australia because the sport was seen to have a corrupting influence on Australian women.[3] In 1934, the first female-owned horse was entered in the Melbourne Cup.[4] Women were involved in horse racing around the country by the 1930s. They were among the attendees at a 1939 race in Yass, New South Wales.[5] By the 1950s, women were dominant in the horse racing industry, with several wealthy women such as Elizabeth Arden being well-known owners and Elizabeth Dangerfield, Elsie Morris, and Judy Johnson being well-known trainers. While not being urged to avoid competition, women had few opportunities to compete in sports in Australia until the 1880s. After that date, new sporting facilities were built around the country and many new sports clubs were created.[7] By the 1930s, Australian women were involved as participants in the sport as a means of getting physical activity. This was characterised by at least one newspaper as being part of the "Cult of the Amazon."[8] In 1940, a study of 314 women in New Zealand and Australia was done. Most of the women in the study were middle class, conservative, Protestant, and white. The study found that 183 participated in sports. The third most popular sport that these women participated in was horse riding, with 38 having played the sport.[9] The ninth most popular sport that these women participated in was horse racing, with 3 having played the sport.
