One of ou Doctors of Divinity, who does
not think it sin TO drive a fast horse. or to
own one-who believes that two minute
gait is as pious as a twenty minute gait, the
difference being in the horse and not in the
time-was coming off the Lane the other
day. The rules are strictly enforced against
fast driving, either in the Park or on Fifth
avenue, and mounted horsemen pursue the
violators of law, and usually take them
promptly to the station house. The Doctor
seeing friend in advance whom he wanted
to speak to, gave his horse the word, and flew
over the ground at a rate of speed not canoni-
cal. As he reined his horse up, a painting
policeman stood at his side, and said: '.Sr,

notoriety of an arrest, adopted little fnesse.
Don't you know me, sir?' he said to the Of.
fetal, 81 am DR." ''Ohl excuse me-"
said the official, ''you are going to see a pa
