FEMALES AND MALES on THE SADDLE
Equestrianism becomes the moderate rage
after grass starting. The exercise OF course is
pleasant, exciting, and mvigorating. The
equestrians are many of them experienced,
and many OF them inexperienced For the
benefit OF the latter, we give some rules"
from Vanity Fair, which may help their edu-
cation amazingly =
When gentleman is to accompany lady
on horseback:

which side to assist the lady, after very little

are two stirrups to his saddle he may mount

generally considered the most graceful way of
mounting. Ii he has known Mr.. Rarey. he
may mount without the aid OF stirrups. If
not, he may try, but will probably fall.
city, he may climb up the animals tail
9th. The gentleman should always ride on
the right side Of the lady. According to some
authorities the right side is the left. Accord.
ing to Others the other is the right. If the
gentleman be left handed this will of course
make difference. Should he ambdexter if
it will be Indifferent.
9th. If the gentleman and lady meet per-

In either case, the lady and gentleman must
govern themselves accordingly Perhaps the
latter Is the evidence of the highest breeding.

he must not expect him to pick him up. Nor

is important to be borne in mind by both.

horse But he must not expect the same cour.
tesy i'll return.
IOth There are three ways of dismounting
a lady. First, with hand and knee. This is
the way respectful and ceremonious. Second.
by receiving the lady in your arms. This is
the way gallant and tender. Third, by Ijre

Is the way humorous and familiar
N. B.-These rules apply equally TO every
species OF equltation, as poney riding, donkey
riding, mule riding, goat riding, rocking horse

course, however, be notifications required ac

Finding themselves nicely caught, the visitors
determined to get even, and accordingly sig.

at 100000. At present it is not supposed to be
over 5000. In the former period they were

to account for it, and to suggest means OF ar
