Mrs. TsroaNroN.---Thelfollowing is an,E,.trat.c.t
of a Letter, dated Wednesday, evening : This:ilia%
after the Races, Mrs. TIP?RitTOI.4, m Wilted upon

She was dressed in mazarin 'blue, and wore a 'neat
black jockey cap, looked very well, and was in hiAti
spirits. jock_

top of his speed, winded him, and 'shewed that 914:
had all his powersperfealy in her command. MI
the knowing ones were astonished- at the style of
horieship in which she peefoemed her gallon, and
declared it eqoal, if not superior to any Cittrrs“
or Buc,m-LE. of Newiparket celebrity. Uri rtooate..
ly,when*ithin about three distances of being home,
the saddle girthi gave way; and. sire came• with cim.
siderable violence to the ground. Y u cannot con-
ceive the interest we take in our ftir equrearrian, tea
the anxiety which her fall produced among th,se
who witnessed it. .1 am happy, however, to assure
you, that she did not sustain the slightest injury.
Being a'smart, waive, elastic figure, she recovered
her feet in a triomeilt, did not appear in the least
alarmed, made light of the tumhle, and walked from
the COarse 'in the same goad spirits with ivhieh she
came upon it. She will exercise again to.morrow,
when, no doubt, every'possible care will be tsketa
to prevent the recurrence ola similar accident,—
Indeed, I hope we shall have no reason to regret •
this circumstance, as it may prove the means of-
preventing the like'on the day of trial, when such a
mishap would be more'serhus. And now, Sir, to..
mine to that which appears the' grand source of cu.:
riosity and interest among many of your silly co-
temporariei: " The spOrting Mrs. T. is to ride.:
the four miles in buel.skin breeches." is She 19 to
ride in doe."—".Shell to ride like 'a mrm." Such
ate the effusions of your scribblers, whose Pegasui
is no better than a jack-Ass i who ridicule' that spirit
in a woman, which they doinot themselves I),Jse,s ;
and cannot' believe, while they stut&)le along R,,t,
ttnansv, trembling for their lives, upon'a spavined,
, lazy belt, that a Lady could have courage to coin.
nit herself to 'the 'back of a first-rate racer. To
put, then; all these queries at rest, know that
Mrs. T.'-does not wear buck-skins or doe-skirisir:
and that she rides a.iide, It chews a great depravity,
of taste, when that which.was admired in our
female ancestor`, and formed a distinguishing qua.
lity of our great'and glorious EttZABETU, is treat.

a match ; ,and in no place could the scene be laid
with_such echo anti of 'fit as in Yorkshire."

As some Gentlemen were hunting the last season,
in the East Riding of Yorkshire, they started a
hare, and
,after running ;her a considerable time, she
stopped to brea•he; at the same moment a pout •
old man was passing with a bag of turnips. over his
shoulder, which he had 'got in an adj)ining fi ld. He,
caught poor puss, and whips her into his bag with
the turnips • the Gentlemen presently came upi and
asked him if he had seen any thing of the hare

green cdat, with plain white metal buttons ; chequed
Marseilles waistcoat, dark colour.; brownish mix..
turc kerseymere breeches, and long boots over dark.
coloured stockings. '
If this AdvertiseMent should, reach his eye or
ear, he is most earnestly requested to 'inform his
Family, immediately where he is. If arty accident
