STAGE COACHING. Uolonel Kane's First Trip to Pelham Bridge, THE START. Scenes and Incidents by the Way. Colonel Delancey Kane imangurated his new Goaching enteprise yesterday by a trip from the Hotel Brunswick to Pelham Bridge and back. Tne time ap- Pointed for the start was 10:30 A, M.; the time for the urrival at Pelham Bridge, 12 M. ; that for the re- turn from Pelham Bridge, 4P. M.; for the arrival at the Hotel Brunswich, 5:30 P. M. The colonel was punctual in each of the above details, and the journey to and fro was made, without accident, in the matter of fact way which travellers and the public know to be essential to the success of such an enterprise. It would be possible to dismiss Colonel Kane's new venture in tho above paragrph, but its novelty and its attractivoness, as well as the kindly expectation with which people have looked forward to its inauguration, forbid any such summary treatment of the matter. At an early hour yesterday morning any one passing by the Hotel Brunswick might have seen a small red and Dine poster piaced against one of the pillars of the a OOO LODLIEDE IDO LDIE IO LORO GE DE DOPE IE ON AND AFTER THE 15T MAY, e New Rochelle 1 3 and 3 Pelham ; G will leave ; THE HOTEL BKUNSWIOK, Madison xcopted, for Pelham , daily, Sunda; Bridge.

According to present indications, however, the villagers’ chances of securing seats is but remote. Expectation was on the tiptoe early, and, for some time previous to the start, the café and halls of the Hotel Brunswick were crowded wiih gentiemen awaiting that event. Outside the hotel, on both sides of Fifth avenue, there were groups of men, of horsey look, basy ‘discussing the Colonel’s coming trip. “ Well,” said the writer, to one of these, ‘what do you think of this, new business?” “Think?” answered the close-cropped, gray-baired centaur, with a look of pity, ‘why, there ain't no thinkin’ about it Iv’s a devlish rattim’ good thing. The Coloncl’s goin?’ to show em ‘ow to do it; ” beon to the right piace to learn the business, and ’e’s learnt it like a brick.” ‘I should just say be had,” ejaculated his neighbor deferentially; “he’s summut likea man, He'll tool hiscoach along with the best on ’em, he will.” Further expression of opinion was checked by a shrill, clear tra, Ja lala la! la la! ab! from the direction of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, Every neck was craned forward, ana every eye bent toward the advancing coach, which the next moment pulled up in front of the hotel The turnout elicited general admiration. ‘THE START, Four clear limbed, compact, well-knit, mettled horses stood in front of a canary-and-black coach of the latest and most approved build, by Holland & Holland, of London, Calm, confident and smiling, Colonel Delancey | Kane sat upon the box, with the traaitional cream- colored Melton overcoat, in the buttonhole of which ‘was a phenomenal bouquet of three yellow tube roses which would have done credit to the floral enthusiasm even of Samuel Weller, Sr. But little time was occu. pied by the seating of passengers, The hand of the clock pointed to baif-past teu; the driver gathered up his reins; the whip was raised, aud the New York and New Rochelle coach started on its first journey amid the hearty cheers of the onlovking crowd, As it spun up the avenue it was evident how great the general interest ‘was in the success of the rhovement now being ipaugu- rated, Whips were raised, hats doffed, hands waved, and every token of kindly regard :mdulged in by thuse | along the avenuv. While passimy through these scenes, | it naturally occurred tothe mind to ask whether the Dias of the Anglo-Saxon race tor everything connected with horsemanship might not»be hereditary, just as the other qualities which have made it mistress of haif the globe. Here was coach making its first ap- jco—a material rses—and the crowd was just as eager to welcome it the British capital, instead of the heart of New York city. People seemed to be interested just in the same way as they are stirred by the broad, stately measures of “God Save the Queen.” If the man in the moon pould come down he would probably ask, for what carthly reason do we on this side of the Atlantic call ourselves Americans, as distinguished Irom the same biood and bone, thew and fibre, onthe | other side, yclept Englishmen. The course of Colonel Kane’s coach was less devious than this last remark, and those onthe top were reminded that there are drawbacks to the enjoyment even of stage-coaching by the gusts ofa sharp wind which May, as restduary Tegatee- of March, seemed to be snaiching from the prostrate form of April, barely dead. THROUGH THE PARK. The drive through the park did much to counteract the chilling efiect of the swift wind. Spring seemed to welcome tbe canary-and-biack coach with its laughin, living freight, as it dashed along the even, well water roads of our splendid suburban domain. ‘The buds or the trees were just brehking, the gambage of the * doworing plant ‘ht up the landscape in every direction, Down the far-stretching glades the tender green of the grass simied its thauks to the deep blue sky, while the Bun poured his light in briliiant floods on upland and », wood and water, tree and shrub, plant and flower, until the whole of nature seemed to quiver in gratitude toward the mighty Lite-Giver, and oven the coid, pallid face of the rock wag suffused with the glow of goiden Vight. . SCEXES BY THE WAY. As pleasures ate heightened vy contrast the elysium New York made way for the more sober attractions of the avenue leading to Hariem bridge, along which a and genial crowd baited in their pursuits to pye the gentieman driver avd hi uperb team. If pomparisons must be continued the monotony of every- fay life was represented by the sombre gray of tho boulevard, aloi tow which the coach rattled until the country pure and simple was descried at the bottom ot the first Jaugbing tn its spring attire and joyously beckoning the traveliers onward. “Ty MEMORY OF THE PAsT.”” Here the mind natarally reverted to the coaching of tho olden times; to the country whose peculiar insti- tution it was until dethroned by steam; to the scenes conjured up by 1t—the level roads with stately trees and quickset hawthorn hedges; the velvet turi which Bo of land can boast; trim lodge and splendid ark; the noble mansion and the snug, seciaded ham- ov the wayside brook and importunate rivulet; the frequent parish church, with its legends of Tudor and Plantagenet, Stuart and Protector; the stout, substan. Mal hostelry with well limned gable end and overhanging eve, bluff host and pert bar- maid, and last, not least, the old-time, ‘quare set coacbman, stout ‘of imb and ruddy of vit brimful of viatory lore, known to Bvory soul along the road; the embodiment of rough kindness and biant honesty. All these, the last ox- cepted, still remain to the country where the coach flouris! but the coach is practically dead. The daica and glens of England more resound to the echoing bore; the hostelry stands blank and deserted; an un- frequent market cart or farm wagon toils along the oad; the liteblood of modern days courses through the new arteries fashioned by iron and si as far as real traflic is concerned, the coach is as extinct as the jun. by a curious freak of the fates, this discarded $nstitution of the Old World is actually introduced as a Roveity, is one, indeod, that will benefit the tired and weary New Yorkers. AT MOTT HAVEN, Bamp! bump! Mott Haven clearly placed those two stones in the road in order that upon this first trip of the Kane coach she should not be overlooked. We thank- fal, Mout Haven, for those two bumps int! pon an unwilling spine!

And so we sweep on down Filth avenue—a royal road but the ungodly stenes, on which our horses slip—'o the Hotel Brunswick. That is a goodly crowd, Colonel. | They are evidentiy in good humor, and greet the gen- tleman whip with a hearty cheer. Hand the ladies down! There! allright. ‘We've had a pleasant trip, Colonel.” “Yes, very pleasant, but a shade cool, Good evening, gentlemen !” SALE OF THOROUGHBREDS. 7 | THE BELLE MEADE YEARLINGS AT AUCTION—DE- SCRIPTION OF THE YOUNGSTERS, THEIR PUR- CHASERS AND THE PRICES OBTAINED. Nasuvits, Tenn., May 1, 1876. | General Harding’s Bello Meade stud farm is situated ‘ on the Richland pike and on the line of the Chatta- nooga and Nashville Railroad, six miles from this city.
