The Lady Equestriams ofEew y ork.

This infinitely pleas ingt theme todiscourse
upon .han that of the gentlemen riders Wnhthese all
is grace and elegance and sweetness and beauty, and
blandness; and whether we have to speak Of maid,
wife, widow, our language is too feeble to tell Of
the destinations of the fashionable lady riders OF New
York. With all the buxom health and steady daring
of the English ladies', they unite the fine forms dash
ing love of adventure, and romantic disposition Of
the French, Italian and Spanish ladies' ot tor"ne and
fashion. And we may safely challenge the parks OF
London, the fashionable avenues OF Paris, the Prado
Of Maord or the vine clad valleys and lanes Of sum
ny Italy TO produce beauties such as New York
abounds with.
Two ladies that are as greatly admired as any that
honor the BloOmingdale Road with their presence,
are Miss T and Miss Il the former
rides iron grey, and the latter rides sorrel horse.
Both Of these young ladies may fairly lay claim -
the title of being handsome or, To use the classic
and glowing language Of Byron
They both young and one !, beautiful"
They ride remarkably well--sn their horses
with grace and dignity. and adopt the old English
style, in vogue amongst the daughters OF the nobility
whilst rusticatng at their pare princely mansion
that is, they are not attended bv gentlemen, but
simply have servant in livery riding behind them
The Bloomingdale Road is their avorite resort-and
they Dggards of time or OF the eXhilirating
pleasures OF equestrian exercises, they generally
ride as far as Stryker's Bay.
The beautiful Miss l. is not the least attrac-
tive, where all blooms bright and fair. Some
mischievous enough to say that she derives large
share Of her attraction from the fact Of her being one
of four who to carve up and take possession Of
$500 1000 one Of these fine summer mornings Her
excellent papa has still very lovely and amiable
wife, but as he considers six in family fair sam
pie Of his prowess, he has taken Mrs Restells ad-
vice. and concluded to let well enough alone ergo,
he intends no increase to his dinner table. Miss
l., however, apart from her forthcoming large
fortune, is very arnable and beautiful young lady
highly accomplished wthal, and remarkably iascina-
ting in her mannersthe best proof of which is thze
she draws around her in her daily rides six or eight
OF the most handsome and accomplished young men
in the city. She rides a handsome grey horse in q
very handsome style, and generally some six
teen miles OF ground daily.
Two young ladies named l., sisters, and
grand daughters TO a celebrated millionaire, create
considerable sensation in the fashionable riding cir
cles. They are much more pleasing than pretty, and
sufficiently handsome to be agreeable and entertain
ing. They ride remarkably well, and generally
attended by one or two gentlemen, Mr.. M, Mr..
=, Count de ", charge d'afiaires OF
Sweden, some other equally distinguished cha
racters.
Mrs. s., OF 4th street, and her two lovely sis
ters add grace gaiety and good humor to the circle
very pleasing, and their are equal
ly so. They have not been improperly styled "The
Graces," and combine in their separate persons the
fortifer in re with the sudritcr in modo Mrs
s. is a striking illustration of the fact that a
lady's charms are heightened instead Of diminished
by marriage. They ride well, and have improved
in horsemanshp very much since last season. Their
g train attendant is distinguished by the presence
Of fashionable poet, distnguis shed painter, and
descendant from peer Of France.
The widow S., is "A charming woman, and a
charming rider. She is the celebrated lady-presi-
lent Of the Liberty street Association, over which
