was warmly received by those present. She Is an
exquisite and graceful rider, and Is apparently as
much at ease upon the back OF her horse as when
standing upon the ground. Her movements are quick
and picturesque, and the utter abandon and DASH

ring always carry her audience by storm. The

was the commencement OF the Session Schooln at
the Park theatre, Brooklyn. Though no extraordl
nary efforts had been made to announce the s.com-
mencementn the theatre was completely filled, every
seat and form that could possibly accommodate a
scholar being occupied, and almost every part OF
standing room. The commencement was thorough
success and schools from the teaching had last
night promises to be well attended throughout its
session. There will evidently be no truants neither
any exhibition Of old or young creeping like snails
there will be rush for seats all the time the enjoy

taken as test OF Its popularity. 1t was bold but

stage the scenery appropriate In character and the
different parts judiciously apportioned. The OPEN
