and cqueetricnne, had resolved to undertake tho
performance of tho daring and dangerous feat OF

gallant stccd, black Bess, wherefore was conceived
tho idea Of giving account thereof to tho read
crs Of tho NEWS. and tho ncxt stop taken was 10
court Tho acquaintance both OF tho lady and tho
horsc tho bcttor to porform tlo sof-imposod task.
Behold mo then seated in ono Of tho parlors OF
tho Astor House, in company with tho reporter of
tho Sunday Mercury and other newspaper mon,

her elegant riding costume. Tho newspaper men
pay their respects, and bliss HUDSON announces in
mclo-tlramatic style, that sho las mndo up hor

disloyal CIRCUS man, Bess gives an upward bound
and Gro tho astonshcd multitude OF lockers on can
recover from their surprise, tho magnificent
animal has mado the perilous ascent in rapid STYLE
and tho bold woman seated on his back kisses her
hand to tho ten Thousand spectators assembled in
a moment, while cheor bursts forth that ought
to have bcen hoard in tho NEWS Office In Charleston
Tho most pcrilouB part OF tho Undertaking is yet
however to be performed, thoro stands the noble
animal in tho centro Of the bridge, and thero sits
Miss HUDSON, her face flushed in the cxoitomcnt
produced by triumphant success, tho TWIN making
as flno n picture of handsome woman and o
handsome horse ns can DO well conceived, but tho
descent is yet to bo mnde, and now aro.the ton
thousand voicos hushed, aud all Is brcRthlcss ex-
citemont md anxiety-tho steps arc cleared by tho
friendly policemen, aud tho bold rider urges on
tho stcod to attempt tho dcscont, but Bees has
become nervous aud restless, and runs back
ward instead of forward; in short refuses to
como down from hor lofty emminence whonce
sho ID led by tho porsoyoripg circus man
Miss HUDSON however is rs determined as the
stoed, and keeps her soat Dosss back till terra
frmn is safely reached, whom, as she Tor rather

of an hour later Miss HUDSON appears again, (not
on tho horso), in tho Astor House parlor, and
romarhs to tho newspaper mon, 'T hnyo
done it," which WAS IN assertion moro forciblo
than necessary under tho circumstances, consider-
ing that wo had all Witnessed tho doing thereof
from o commanding position on the bridge.

when she Miss H. goes over to Europe, where
tho latter has created double sensation by lying
on the back Of her horse in the play OF Mazoppa,
and sitting on tho lap Of ALEXANDER DUMAS in the
gallery Of Partisan photographer. If Miss HUp-
SON could succeed in getting temporary seat on
DICKENS kneo, she will rido over tho MENKEN as
sho has ridden over tho Broadway bridge.
