•LIVERPOOL RIDING ACADEMY.
MR. SMITH respectfully intimates to the Ladies and
Gentlemen of Liverpool and its environs, that he con-
tinues to teach the polite, and from Royal adoption, increas-
ingly fashionable ART OF RIDING, on principles which
combine ease and elegance with confider and perfect safety,
I jell
at his commodious School, which, w eit is secluded from
all observation, possesses from i situation the desirable
advantage of a salubrious and exh. sting atmosphere.
Mr. S. considers it a duty incumbent upon himself to
correct and supersede an erroneous imptession which some
few persons unacquainted with his system have imbibed, as
much probably from prejudice as a disinclination, that his
mode of teaching savours too much of the stiff military
school; to which he thinks it only necessary to advert (and
it is with a feeling of proud consciousness) to his long-
established reputation, conferred by the patronage of most
of the first families in the town and neighbourhood, as also
many distnguished foreigners, from many of whom he has
received written commendatory acknowledgments, as well of
the excellence of his peculiar system, as his unwearied zeal
and attention to his pupils.
N.B.—Dadies' Skirts provided at the School. Horses
broke for Ladies and Gentlemen.
