ingdals roads, bride in hand, which have

ing descriptions of the personal ofthe riders.
Here are some specimens
Hon. Daniel &. Sickles has marked taste
for equestarin exercise during the season, he
is seen upon all the rides and drives about the
city.
Mr.. L. ,,PonVert, merchant keeps blooded
ehesnut horse, valued at $500, upon which
be takes to the road, in company with Mr.. G.
Morris, who has IN Arabian animal, valued
at $1,000. Both gentlemen are good riders,
and, being young, delight In finding
ladies without escort, TO whom they can act
as cavaliers.
Mr.. Kittletssh (Phoebus, what an aristocra-
tic name has three saddle horses, blacks,
which are ridden by different members Of the
family. They always take them 10 the coun-
try in the summer, and are considered by the
ladies Of the family as indispensable as the
carriage team. Mr.. KS TWO daughters are
amongst the best riders In the city.

Of the most constant visitors to the Central

Mr.. N. Ketchum, broker, whose hend one
would think was sufficiently clear, finds il
convenient occasionally 70 sharpen his percep-

any great speed beiug contested with a good
healthy gait.
VIM. H. Disbrow, of the Fifth Avenue

thoroughly trained and makes great show

fine pony for his son, who is quite expert in

And 50 on for mortal colum.
Which are first-rate pufs in their way,
and cheap way for ambitious young New
Workers to get up reputation for wealth,
exclusiveness, ETC., all he has to do is to get
himself inserted after this manner.
Augustus Fitsmarmaduke Scroggs, Esq, rides
$4,000 English hunter, is a magnificent
rider, and is universally taken for a cavalry
officer
Scroggs fortune is now made, for all upper
tendon knows he keeps horse, is therefore
probably dancing man, OF what's better a
marrying man, his name is entered on Mrs.
Podger's party list, old Podger is instructed
to have his card for Scroggs, who is hence
forth successfully launched into the society Of
the exclusives, who number in their ranks,
and are therefore of the aristocracy riding
school men, politician4 lawyers, photograph
lists, merchants, brokers, express men, etc.
