THE WILD RIDER OF AUSTRALIA.
AND HIS THREE SONS.

JAMES MELVILLE was born in Sydney, Aus
!raia on ID 18th of October, lSI-his father hay
ing emigrated from Scotland to that rich country
ABOUT th1rty years ago, where he purchased large
tract OF land and turned his attention te farming
and stock raising. At the time of the birth of M
Melville, his father owned a large namber of fine
horses, and as soon as his SON. perceptions were
sufficiently formed to enable him to distin guish
objects, he manifested an inherent love and ad.
mlraton for the noblest of animals-the horse
As he grew in years this passion increased, and as
ne had ample opportunity to crafty it, he soon be-
came an expert in driving and riding horses-those
faverites. ~
In addition to Mr.. Melville's superb herseman-
ship: he stands unriyalled in athletic and gym
nastic exercises. With his ACCOMPLISHED sons
xh6 inherit the talent and daring of their
Eroupin gs, graceful poses, and splendid tabIeaux.
HIS success in this as in other branches of his
cialty is beyond com parison and defes rivalry or
imitation. ~
No other artistic ever acquired such proficiency
In these characteristic displays. With q certain
innate grace rarely seen in man, he enriches them
with all the attri of elegance and skill and
adorns them with an enthusiasm of action and mic.
turesque power truly fascinating,
