compel itors under this head. We cannot
speak in too high praise of the ease and grace
with which these ladies rode and handled
their steeds. At the close of their riding
Misses Hamilton and Donnely tested the
speed of their animals, which was done with
that courage and GOODNESS that would do
credit to the other sex. 1t was fortunate we
were not one of the Judges, or they might not
have agreed TO have given the premium to
any one, for it was difficult to tell which was
the best.

The Committee on equestrianship have the
honor to report: That they are highly pleas
ed with the performance 0 the ladies who
