Wilson, a gentleman who jated quite @ fortune by practicing his profession in Portland, Oregon, came to this eity to spend the summer. and has been staying t the Westminster hotel, 16th street and Irving- ‘The doctor Is a tall, fine-looking man a past middle age, and from his appearance one would imazine that he was no stranger to wilitary life. He holds himself erect and walka with the self-conscious air of a man who knows that he lw rich and has no objection to having other people know It. He is fond of walking, and It has been his practice to go out every af- ternoon and enjoy a solitary ramble through the Streets. According to his custom, at about 3 o'clock on into and went toward 6th avenne. h avenue his attention well dressed, king in walked uj, Fourth avenue to 24th street whieh he tarne J c street, and who was regarding him attentive and speak to him or not. inued his walk, feit » hand on his shoulder, and, turn- Jng around. he was confronted by the man, w!

Doctor Wilson was glad to meet some one who had be in his far- off home, and finding the man possessed of a ready wit and great good bumor, took a great likins: tohimon the spot. The two walked down 6th avenue arm in arm, conversing about old times in Portland, and aftera time hisnew acquaintance asked the doctor to zo with him toa lottery place In E: h Bs said’ was run for «i et the money - for a prize which he iad drawn. The doctor ay they went to a house which he believes to be No. 49 East 23d street. They were ushered into a largeroom, where another gentlemanly looking man sat behinda table, on which the doctor says were painted a number of “signs or emblems.” Beekman went up to the table and drawing out a ticket showed it to the man and asked for the money which it called for. Then fc ved the old game. He rece ved a package of money, which ‘on being counted, the doctor saw amounted to $250. The men at the table said to Beekman: You have been fortunate. Won't you buy another ticket?” Beekman bought “another ticket and drew He followed up his sue- cess by buying a uumber of tickets, and won on ewch. He then asked the doctorif he did not want to try his fortune, and the doctor did. He boucht a ticket and lost.

A game of cards was then pro- vt, and. the doctor agreeing, the three men aud the doctor's losses amounted to 0 betore he concluded that he had had enuuxh. For this larze amount he gave the Inap at the table a drait on Drexel, Morgan & » and then went out with Beekman. On the et Beekman said that he had an Important engazement to fill.and.with many expressions of Sorrow over the doctor's hard tuck, in lusing much, he left that gentleman to find his hotel alone. Inthe evening Dr. Wilson related his experience to some knowing friends, who. Im- mediately informed bit that he had been made the victiin of a banco-steerer and his confed- erate. Early yesterday morsing Dr. Wilson went to Drexel, Morzan & Co.’s. and, standing On the steps, he saw his friend Beekman. Beek- man saw the doctor, too, and, without saving a word, started @ runup Wall street. The doctor cried “Stop thier!” and started in pur- suit. The spectacle of one well-dresaed man be- Ing hotly pursued by another well-dressed man Was an unusual one, and a crowd followed the doctor in his chase. Ofticer Finnegan, of the first precinct, intercepted the runaway and held him-with the tenacity of a bull-doz until the ing doctor came up and told him who his prisoner was. Drexel. Morgan & Co. had been instructed to detain the person who presented the doctor's draft, and when “the man behind the checkered table” handed It in he was re- quested to walt. He did wait until Officer Fin- Began appeared with Beekman and arrested him. The men were taken to the Tombs. where, after the affidavit had been made out, Justice Ford committed them for examination in de- fault of $1.500 each. “‘Beekman” gave his name as Robert Price. of Hoboken, and the other risoner sald he was Edward Williams, of St. Vichiolas avenne and ilith street.

Yesterday afternoon a group of seven or eight young women had a narrow escape from death by ning stroke at Sharpsvurz. Tuey ‘were empic of PF. & J. Heinz. and at the time of the storm were conzrezated in ashed belong- Ing to the firm, en: In washing vexetables for pickling. A suiden, vivid flash of light- ninz, which a witness stands a little removed from the girls says ¢ ly enveloped and hid them from his view, was followed by a crash of thunder so terrifie and 1 ly simultaneous as to lead bystanders to believe that It was caused by the striking of the lightning itself. The fash passed immediately In front of Miss Barbara Ffeiffer. who was standing near a water ‘ouzh, shocking her slichtly, and then played about the person of Miss Annie RB. Weissen- bach. She experienced a sudden sensation of Bumbness and clung to the side of the shed for support. bat did not at first realize that she had been struck. When the terrifled girls had partially recov- ered their fright it was discovered that Miss Weissenbach had been badly burned about the arms and body, and she was removed to her home. where Dr. Brinton attended her. The k lefc on her person was a band of red h. siuilar to a stizht burn in appearance, sind from fifteen to eighteen inches in diameter, which ranzed across and downward over her body at an angle of about forty-five deurses, the upper edze of the band commencing on her Fight shoulder. A peculiar featare was that the flesh was seared across the back as wel across the breast. showing that she must have steod near the center of the current, which was rubably deflected from passing through her ndy by the moisture accidentally coverin her clothing. At last reports Miss Weissenbach was suiferins from an attack of headache, but her injuries from the stroke are not considered dangerons. None of the other younz women Who were standing in the shed were injured be- Yond a sligiit shock to their nervous systeins. ee ge eee Career of a Southern Bigamist. ZC. Butler pleaded guilty in Philadelphia on Monday to a charge of bigamy. He is said tobe & member of a rich and socially influential South Carolina family. He married in South Carolina In 1871, and became the father of three children. He deserted them in 1878, and was employed as @clerk in Philadelphia. He went through the form of marriage with Esther Brown, who was hardly out of her teens. Shortly after that he Was arrested for the embezzlement of #63 troin his employers, and was sent to prison for three mouths. Upon his release he sent to his wifein South Carolina a paper containing a renuncia- tion of all herciaims upon him and asked herto sign it. His wife indignantly sent the paper beck, but having thus obtained his address set out for this city to find him. In the meanti:ne Batler had gog into prison again for beating his Wile No. 2. aud the facts of his donbie-dealing Were brought to light. The true wife and the deceived second wife told of their wrongs to the Court with tears. Butler asserted that he liad Paid a New York lawyer to obtain a divorce, and when he married a second time he believed he was free. This was disproved hy the fact that be had sent the paper to his frst wile, asking her to renounce her Jegal claims. ay afternoon heleft the hotel and | ing to make up his wind whether | but in a few imo- | nvinced that you are my father's | from Europe with my | A PAKALLEL FOR THE CRARLIE HOSS CASE, Mysterious Disappearance of Mary Churchill, of St. Louis. ABSOLUTELY NO CLEW TO HER WHEREABOUTS. A St. Louis telegram tothe N. Y. Herald says: The Churchill mystery is still unsolved, and wil Probably remain so until the grave gives up its dead, or until the girl herself, if alive, comes out oft her hiding place and explains away the hid- | eons mystery. This case in some of its features Tanks with the Carlie Ross affair; It has baffled j the skill of the detectives, and the lynx-eyed re- | porters have taken up so many clews one after another, and followed them only to find them- on the wrong track, that they are for the bewildered and mystifled. The tracks of unaway, if such she be, or the traces and reabouts of the kidnappers have been com- pletely covered up from the very start. THE DISAPPEARAY The facts in the case are simply these:—Sun- day afternoon, August 19th, Col. James 0. Churehill, vice president of the Anthracite coal | Company, of St. Louis, started out with his wife | for an afternoon drive. As they drove away | their daughter Mary stood just inside the gate and watched them until the carriage turned the corner at the end of the square. A young drug clerk, pamed ie, parsed the gate probably | twenty minutes after the hour at which Colonel and Mrs. Churehill started for their drive, and saw the young lady standing there. That is the last seen of her—absulutely the last detinite trace. Her parents returned a little before seven o'clock in the evening and found the dauzuter gone. Inquiry was made of the ser- ts but none of them remembered seeing he thet afternoon or evening. The supposition | Was that she had gone out for a call, but as the evening wore on and she did not return her muviier grew neryous and her father instituted | @ search, first in person calling at the houses of | several neighbors where it was thought she {might have been visiting; then he asked the | assistance of a few confidential friends, desiring, ible, to avoid notoriety. Aiter searching inday night and all day Monday without result, Col. Churchill called at police head- quarters and stated the case to Chief Campbell. Detectives were Immediately put on the case, but it seemed absolutely impossible to get & starting point. | DESCRIPTION. A description of the girl as last seen by her father and as her friends knew her was the only thing there was to give the detectives. She was sixteen years and eight months old; five feet three inches tall; well developed for her years; of erect carriage; quite light brown hair, which she wore Inthe prevailing fashion of bangs, al- most concealing her forehead, reaching almost to the eyebrows: grayish biue eyes; an oval face, rath »© full for beauty, thouzh she was con- d a very pretty girl; regular features, with small nose. She was au accomplished musician, her proficiency as a perfurmer on the pianoforte | being especially notable. She had been kept in } School almost constantly, and, while not a mar- | vel of learning, had a considerably better edu- cation than the averave sixteen-year-old girl. When her mother last saw her she hadoaa wh lawn dress, with very small “pin head” black dots in it: plain full skirt, tight sleeves; a | small plain white coliar and a white tie about jher neck. She wore a plain gold ring, with a gold dolar bangle. SEARCH. By Monday evening, the 20th ult., when the police were given the case, anxiety had com- pletely prostrated the mother, and she has never fully recovered. That tie matter mizht appear toherin the best possible light the theory of elopement was advanced and impressed upon | her mind, coupled with the hope that the girl and her husband would return ina few days. But there was nothing, absolutely no clreuin- | stance, to sustain that idea. The girl had not really made her debut in society yet, though she had attended probably a couple of balis in her | mother’s company. She had no taste for society; in fact, was a child yet; had no beaus nor lovers —only two young men had ever called on her, and these she did not receive alone. She did j Rot like, but, on the contrary, seemed to have j almost an aversion to, companionship of the opposite sex. She was an enthusiast concern- Ins music, and the only thing aside from that and her books that found an abiding place in her thouzhts was admiration for the drama, and even that did not go to such an extent that she could be called stage struck. She had ne been to the theater save with her parents, and was not known to talk of the stage. But since her disappearance some letters have been found from some of her schoolmates to her, In which her admiration for Mary Anderson and her am- bition to become a great actress are spoken ot. The theory of a runaway and a stage career was advanced, and In pursuance of that idea theatri- cal agencies and people in this and other cities were communicated with, but no sign was dis- covered. ‘THEORIES. Hundreds of peop!e came forward, each with atheory. One man had seen a hack driven along a dark street on Sunday night and heard suppressed screams; another had seen a car- riage the following morning driving along one of the most public thoroughfares containing the girl and a male companion; another had seen a buggy standing by the pavement near the Churchill residence, in which was a young man, while a woman was standing on the curb talk- ing tohim. These are specimens of rumors and stories set afloat by the thousand, but not one of them was sustained by @ single fact. One after another was ran down, and all that was discovered at the end was that the girl was gone, i taking no bagzage, nothing in the way of wear- ; ing apparel, and leaving no trace. ! FOLLOWING CLEWs. Col. Churchill strove In every way in his power to avoid unnecessary sensationalism. He followed every clew and used every endeavor to solve the dismal mystery; but he offered no re- ward until the girl had been absent two weeks. Then $100 was offered for information that i would lead to her recovery. Thia has never been increased. Some people thought for a time that there was something not told—some- kept back by the parents; that they really feared to learn, or already knew. or had a pretty good idea as to the girl's fate. This belict gained strength as time wore on, but in a con- Yersation with the old gentfeman to-day any such suspicion that mizht havetound lodgement in your correspondent’s mind was dispelled, and in its place came a conviction that the mystery was as impenetrable to him as_to anybody else. The colonel said Mamie had had no trouble at home. Her mother may have been alittle strict with her, but never harsh. If the subject of lovers or marriage ever entered her head no one knew it. for she seldom mentioned it. She had been impressed by her mother withthe Ideathat she was still a child, and that when she was twenty years old it would be early enough to consider the subject of matrimony. ——__—$_-e-_____ WOMAN'S FAVORITE WEAPON. The Law Cannot Prevent the Free Use of Her Tongue. From the Baltimore American, 21st. Sophia Snyder, residing on North Wolfe street, was before Judge Stewart, of the criminal court, yesterday, on the charge of being a com- mon scold. Several witnesses testified that the accused freely used her tongue, but Judge Stewart decided that the common scold law was obsolete, and even ff not, the woman was proved to be of respectable character, and not a scold in the meaning of the old statute. His honor also remarked, in substance, that it was the gen- eral practice of womankind to freely use their tavorite weapon, the tongue, and that it waa not even in the power of the lawmakers to stop them. It took two people to quarrel, and to avoid trouble, if one was disposed to it, the other had better refrain from sach company. In regard to the statutory nature of the offense. the judge said it belongedto the medieval ages, and was a law which, having been declared obsolete in England many years ago, he had no wish to revive in this country. He looked upon tt in the same sense as witchcraft and eavesdropping— old crimes for which the punishment had been the “ducking stool.” If @ demurrer had been raised to the indictmegt, he said, he would have sustained it on these grounds. ——— Deatu tN THE PuLpir.—The worth: ee of the colored Baptist churen at Wyandotte, Kan- sas, was holding a missionary service on Sunday last. Inthe midet of his discourse he forward upon the pulpit and exclaimed: “Dis- patched to Heaven quickly!” He spoke no more, and for a considerable time the congregation sat quietly, expecting him to continue. At last & member went forward to the pulpit and found the minister dead, with his arms around the Bible. | Of course there was intense excitement. When the firet shock was over the body was laid upon a table in front of the pulpit and the people gathered around tt weeping and pray- ing, A doctor soon and determined 4 that heart disease was the cause THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE. oe ge a 7. i ml rie! Octo! 22 with Neti in = = Thenew Metropolitan Opera House is situated on the block of property bounded by Broadway, 39th, 40th streets andSeventh avenue, and occu- Dies the whole of the square, being 200 feet on Seventh avenue. It is built in the Italianrenais- sance style, of yellow brick, terra cotta and iron, and presents to the eye an imposing appearance. Inits architectural plan the endeavor has beento secure absolute fire-proof protection, the great- est convenience and the most ample facilities for the production of modern works of art and for the safety and accommodation of its patrons. These considerations, rather than exterior beauty ot detail, have influenced the architects, and they have avalled themselves of every scientific improvement tn the construction of the latest Opera houses in Europe, having personally ex- amined one and all before preparing their own design. The result bas been the erection of a strneture, which, it 1s believed, combines more of the desiderata of a secure and elegant opera house than can be found anywhere In the world. In Its general arrangement the new house is divided into audidence room proper, with its three grand entrances; cloak rooms, foyers, ves- tibules, ball room, supper room, kitchen and corridorsawith stage division proper cut off by @ massive proscenium wall, and divided Into stave, dressing rooms, orchestra rooms, ballet and chorus rooms; paint rooms, carpenter shop and property rooin, with special aud gmple en- trances, elevators, etc. Thestage ts 76 feet deep from footlights to dead wall, and 101 feet between walls, affording ample space for the setting of the most elabor- ate of modern spectacles and the presentation of the largest ensemble with ballet and chorous. The audience room has a seating capacity of three thousand and sixty-four, and some idea of the magnitude may be formed when it Is stated that the Grand Opera House, Parts, has a capac- ity only ef 2.1 In the disposition of the three tiers of boxes, which reach entirely round the horseshoe curve, convenlence, point of view, and acoustic effect has been conjointly studied. These tiers are known respectively as the parterre, first and second tier, and the first two are the property of the stockholders of the Opera House Company. Twelve Baignolre boxes, under the parterre and adjoining the stage, are at the disposition of the manazer. All the stockholders’ and other boxes are so arranged that the even numbersare on one side of the house and the odd un the other,and on. as there are ground entrances, both on 89th and. 40th streets, with spacious crush rooms, cloak Tooms, port cochere, etc., the confusion and labor of reaching their places is then reduced to amintinum for the patrons, Tn the construction of the house the first con- sideration was to secure absolute comtort and perfect safety. In obtaining the first the last has not been overlooked, Tle material of which the opera house fs built ts non-cumbuetible. The boxes themselves are of iron, with concrete floors, and to each one is attached a dressing- room, constructed of the same material. The stair-cases are wholly of brick, iron aud cement, and the numerous exits are ample and non-in- flammable. In addition to this, the most improved safety appliances tor flooding the stage have been put in, and it Is said that the directors of the Berlin Opera House (one of the finest structures in the world) have acknowledged that the new Metro- politan Opera House, in polut of safety and con- Fenlenee, is superior to any public building they have. In the disposition of dreasing-rooms, offices, amoking-rooms, cafe and cioak-rooms, it is be- lieved that public use will demonstrate the sim— plicity,comfort. and security of the arrangement. The auditorinm is five feet longer and three feet wider than that ot the far-famed La Scala in Milan. The capacity of the parquette is 600; Baignoire boxes, 72; parterre, 216; first tier, 222; second tler, 224; balcony, 750; gallery, 980. In the decoration ot the house, artistic elegance has been the only object. ‘The general tone of color is old gold and crimson,with hangings and upholstery to match. The curtaining is of silk, manatactufed expressly for the house, in special desizns and color, ali made in this country at the Cheney Mills, Connecticut. The proscenium arch, which presents the ap- pearance of arich frame to the stage opening, is handsomely and chastely embellished with works ofart by cis Lathrop and Francis Maynard, and enriched with panels in which are appro- priate musical designs. ‘The orchestra, capable of accommodating 150 musicians, is builtin the shape of areverberating arch, floored over, and it is belived that the most pertect aconstic effects will be attained by the relation of the audience room tones to the stage and orchestra. In throwing open this temple to the liberal patrons in New York, the management feel as- sured that sclence and art and good taste have done all that is posalble to provide a secure and permanent, no less than an elegant,abode for the best music. equipping it with every appliance that Is necessary to present the master works of the great composers as they have never yet been presented in the metropolis of America. With these unexampled advantages the weight of re- sponsibility 18, manitestly increased, and it be- comes a matter of pride, no less than of duty, to muke the performances In every way worthy of the house aad the liberal patrons who have erected it. ————_~+e-+-____ Gambling in Chicag From the Chicago Tribune. “Isspoker-playing quite general in Chicago?” asked a reporter of professional card-sharper, who manages to get admission to the best so- ciety. “Well,I should insinuate. It has become the mode, and has almost entirely superseded all other games of cards. One-third of all the people in Chicago between the ages of fifteen and seventy-five stay by their‘ante;’ ‘straddle,’ ‘raise the blind,’ ‘stand pat,’ ask how many cards the dealer took, get called witn a bob-tail flush, and ‘go broke.’ Ob, it’s a popular game!” “Aro there many lady players here?” “Immense numbers of them. They get stuck on the game worse than men. Why I've known respectable ladies to pawn their Jewelry—even. their wedding rings—tor money with which to get into a game?” “Do ladies play well?” ‘They generally play a bold game and bloff more than men. The best players I’ve ever met in society games have been ladies. Many ladies give little parties regularly where poker is the order of the evening. And many of them make money at it. I've several times been ‘downed’ in fel erp by ladies,” “How do people learn toplay?” “They commence by playing for buttons, then freeze-out for ice-cream or some’ other trifling treat, then penny-antefor keeps and finally drift into a game only bounded by their means, and sometimes without that limitation. Young men who learn to play at home and in the houses of friends soon tire on a small game and visit poker rooms, of which there are Iit- erally hundreds in the city. From these to the larger gambling-houses is but a step, and ina majority of cases their ruin is complete. Many & defaulting clerk dates his downfall from the night when he first opened the festive ‘Jack- pot’ for the limIt—five cents, and many a wo- man has been driven, or drawn, to the bad through the seductions of that game where ‘it’s all in the draw?’ ” “Is the foterest In the game on the increase?” “Yes, decidedly.

The Central gnd South American Telegraph company has fipished. the new telegraph line connecting Galveston, Texas, with Rio de Ja- neiro and all points in South America. The new line Is by way of Mexico and Central America. Superintendent Zeublin, of the Western Union company, said yesterday: ‘The significance and importance of the new line can be appreciated by aglanceat the map of America. The new com- pany,” he continged, pointing to a map showing the entire telegraphie system of the American continent, “has simply taken advantage of all the available land routes and thereby avoided the expense and delay attending the use of long, deep, sea cables. To forward a dispatch by the old routes we firstcabled the messaye to France or England and thence by land to Madrid. From Madrid there is another cabie line stretching southwest, crossing the Cape Verd Isiands and connecting with the South American continent at Pernambuco. From Pernambuco messages were forwarded north by relay to Rio de Janeiro. ‘This route was necessarily very expensive. After to-day messages will be sent from Galveston via Brownsville to pes el and thence by a com- paratively short cable route to Guyaqull. From Guyaquil the new line extends, by way of Val- Paraigo, across to Montevideo, and thence by an old telegraph line northward to Rio de Janeiro. The difference between tne two routes Is simply this: The old line extended along the two sides of a great triangle and ran almost the entire distance upon the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. The new line extends along the hypothenuse of the triangle and is constructed almost wholly upon the land. Instead of cross- ing ‘the sea twice we have a nearly direct land communication, and there is a pro- Pportionate diminution of expense. The old tele- graphic rate from this city to Panama was $2.08 per word; the new rate, which goes into effect to-day, 18 #1 per word. Mesaages to Rio Grande, Santa Catharina and Santos formerly cost $4.38 per word; they will go hereafter for $3.11. Mes- sages to Rio de Junelro willbe forwarded at $2.01 per word, instead of $8.58, as formerly, and communication with Pernambuco can now be obtained for $2.70 per word. Telegraphic business between the United States and South American cities has always been comparatively light, but one effect of the new line will doubt- Jess be to increase it.” “Willthe new line ultimately be absorbed and controlled by the Western Union system, Ce 8o many minor telegraph companies have en?” “I would not like to say just that,” said Mr. Zeublin, with a knowing iook, ‘but you may say that several of the men most deeply con- cerned in the new enterprise are Western Union men, and consequently the business done by the Central and South American company will be done well.” ————_+o-___ STYLES IN MEN’S APPAREL. A Tendency to Tightness Shown Garments for the Coming Winter. ° From the Boston Herald. A few of the bolder manufacturers have en- deavored to folst certain rich, dark colors upon the market, with a view to having them adopted for dress suits, displacing thereby the sombre, orthodox black; but It {s believed that the good taste of the class accustomed to wear full even- ing dress will nip this attempt in the bud, prompted as it is by the fact that there ts less money In the black than In the deep winecolors. The lapels ofthe Qress coat areto be made smaller this year than last, and will be fashioned to roll somewhat higher than heretofore, the curve or scoop commencing at the third button. The sleeves will fit a trifle more closely to the arm ahd the skirt, if changed at all, will be slizhtly lengthened. Silk facings, either in full or ex- tending only to the buttonholes, are still fash. jonable, tne material used being a fine rep corded silk. Btack satin isin bad taste. The dress vest is cut with three buttons and “scooped” so dgftly as to make a wide shirt bosom a necessity. It i finished round the edge with a double row of gimp. The trousers are cut straight, made to fit the leg enusly and are finished with silk braid on the outer seains. The Prince Albert coat for fall and winter use will, of course, be still of dark material. blueand black being the favorite colors. The coat is made to fit the fizure closely. The vest is of the same material and buttons to a point just under the top button of the coat. Great latt tude is allowed in the selection of materials for the trousers, though a dark or lizht-gray mix- ture and a very fine black-and-white check are in the greatest demand. Striped goods will be worn, though not as much as formerly. The cutaway coat is made almost precisely the same as last season. There is a very handsome frock coat, entirely new this season, that will look well with almost any style of trouser pattern. tis made double- breasted, with elther three or four basket but- tons, and Is bound with sewing silk army braid, laid on flat. This garment Is very appropriate for walking, and is said to be well adapted for elderly gentlemen. It 1s made of an Oxford mixed diagonal cloth. Overcoats will this season be worn double- breasted. There 1s but slight difference in the length, the change, tt any, being one of increase. The tendency toward tightness in wearing ap- parel is as apparent. in the overcont as in other arments. They are made to fit snugly and to follow the shape of the figure down to the upper limit of the skirt. The collar of the fall over- cont must be of the same material as_ the body of the garment, while on the winter coat a vel- vet collar may be worn. Holding the Reins. A good driver always grasps the rein so that first, the ends of the fingers, after the hand is closed upon the rein, being in a ‘perpendicular Ine. This gives a vice-like grip which it 1s al- most impossible for the leather to slip through. But the wrong habit young drivers, and es- pecially ladies fall into, 1s to catch the rein in such @ way that when it enters the hand It first basses over the fore-finger; when held in that way it is very hard to keep It from slipping, and so it happens that when an excited horse gives @ quick Jerk and the lady feels the line slip she thinks her strength is inadequate, loses her presence of mind, and ina tew minutes some- ody’s hurt. If persons knew how awkard a poar driver looks they would try to improve here's notifing more ridicalous than a green driver with his arms stretched away out In front “pushing on the lines.” On the other hand, there isa no more pleasing sight than to see a well-trained driver, and especiaily in the person ofa pretty girl, sitting erect, with hands close to her slender waist, the rein curling- cutely over her delicate thumb, and the whip grasped firmly, arching over the horse’s back, thread her way without nervousness or fear through narrow, crowded streets, or on broad avenues, leave her timid friends behind. In England fox-hunting has such a hold upon the People that a girl ts taught to ride almost before she learns anything else.
