upos :han that ofths gentlemen riders. With these all
grace and elegance and sweetness and beauty and
blandness; and whether we have to speak of maid,
wife, or widow, language is too feeble to tell o
the of the fashionable lady riders Of
York With all the buxom health and steady daring
Of the English ladies, they unite the fine fsrns dash
ing lsve OF adventure, and romantic disposition OF
the French Italian and Spanish ladies Of fortune and
fashion. And we may safely challenge the parks Of
London, the fashionable avenues Of Paris, the Prado
of Madrid the vine clad valleys and lanes Of san
ny Italy to produce beauties such as New York
abounds with.
Two ladies that are greatly admired az any that
honor the Blooming gdale Road with their presence,
are Miss = and Miss H; the former
rides iron grey and the latter rides sorre horse
Both Of these young ladies may fairly lay claim to
the title Of being handsome or, to use the classic
| and glowing language OF Byron
| They both young and one is beautiful"
| They ride remarkably well-sit on their horses
with grace and dignity, and adopt the old English
STYLE in vsgre amongst the daughters of the nobility
whilst rustcating at their parent prncey mansion
that is, they not attended by gentlemen, but
simply have a servant in livery riding behind them.
The Bloomingdae Road is their favorite resort-and
they are piggards Of time or OF the exhrating
pleasures OF equestrian exercises, they generally
ride as far as Stryker's Bay.

share of her attraction from the fact OF her beng one

wife, but he considers six in a family fair sam

vice. and uded to let well enough alone ergo,
he intends no increase to his dinner table. Miss
l., however, apart from her forthc oming large
fortune, is very amiabe and beautiful young lady
highly accomplished withal, and remarkably fascina-
ting in her manners-the best proof of which is that
she draws around her in her daily rides six or eight
of the most handsome and accomplished young men
in the city. She rides handsome grey horse in
very handsome style, and generally covers some six
teen miles Of ground daily.
Two young ladies named L, sisters, and
grand d-daughters to celebrated millionaire, create
erable 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 are generally
attended BY one or two gentlemen, Mr. NJ, Mr.;
Sweden or some other equally distinguished cha
Yacters.

Of fashionable poet, distinguished painter, and
descendant from peer of France.
The widow s., is charming woman, and
charming rider. She is the celebrated lady -presl-
dent of the Liberty street Association, over which
she presides with and dignity. There is
qusenly majesty in her manner that is very COM
nnanding; she freads as upon necks; she looks not
of the EARTH earthly, and yet is it; her fine
plexisn, beautiful black eyes, rich dark tresses and
comm nding figure, have made many conquests since

been felt in the hearts Of fashionable young

with its first blush Of confding truth and Innocence

Miss M, is thought by many to hear of the
bell from all her rivals She is the farest Of the
fair; her head neck, and shoulders are OF the most
classic contour; her bus. is beautiful; her figure
mere nearly resembling the statue Of the Venus de
Medicis than that Of most fashionable ladies of the
present day. Her features Grecian in their out
line, American in their expression and English in
their complexion and rosy colsr. The long silken
lashes Of her lovely eyes, remind the gazcr Of
Of Murillo's softest portraits. Moore's lines will
swcr admirably TO describe her delicious mouth,
which is

horse bears her proud and conscious Of its beau

These among the most beautiful Of the female
equestrians of New York, though they by no means
include the whole. There a number Of others,
who like the above, are most excellent riders and
very lovely women; OF these we have not time nor
space TO tell to day, but shall particularly describe
them hereafter We admire this plan of riding out
daily on the part Of young and lovely women Of
New York. IL is even more fascinating than female
ocofocoisn; and wish that, instead of a few do
zen lady riders, we had few hundreds gracing our
beautiful avenues daily and hourly. The bloom of
buxom health would then adorn the cheeks Of those
pale indolent beauties who now sleep away the morn
ing in their delicious beds, and lounge away the
afternoon listlessly on sofa in dishabie, reading
Harper's last new novel, or listening to the small
talk of lsve sick swain.
