The following item from a Detroit
paper will be of interest. First Lt.
Dick Ryan is a son of the late Joseph
J. Ryan, formerly of Si..Columban,
and Mrs. Ryan, who moved to Detroit
a number of years ago, and is also a
nephew. of Mr. Thomas Ryan of Mc-
Killop, 'and the late James V. Ryan
of Seaforth.
First Lt. Dick Ryan of Detroit has
ridden a lot of horses, good and bad,
in his 29 years.
But he finally rode the prize of
them all—the pure white steed of

The Detroit cavalry offider was the
first white man to ride the horse,
named, aptly enough, Hatsushimo, or
First Frost. •
Yank soldiers, deciding to bring a
little bit of home to the shattered Far
Eastern empire, staged a rodeo in
Meiji Shrine Stadium,
It wasn't Dick Ryan's first rodeo,
and it probably won't be his last, but
he unquestionably had top billing. He
gave Hatsushimo a real workout,
Behind that exhibition were long
years of riding.
Dick, whose mother, Mrs. Joseph J.
Ryan, lives at 3298 Columbus, decided
shortly after graduation from high
school that his first love was horses.
His hangout became the stables of

He exercised the horses, he fed
them. Soon he learned to ride them.
But plain riding wasn't good enough.
He learned to perform stunts and the
guardsmenhelped him.
