THE SECOND MEETING OF THE sEAsoN-sEvEN-

FAULTLEss APPOINTMENTS.
Prom the Daily Qondon) News, July 6.l
One sign among many that the London season
is on the wane was dlscerniDe In Hyde Park yes
terday morning, wnen the Four-ln-Hand Club met
for the second anu probably for the last time this
year. Not that there was any great diminuton
IN the number Of coaches assembled at the Pow
der Magazine. there being nineteen as against
twenJy-six whlcn met on the lst OF June, out the
spectators were not nearly so numerous as on the
previous occason nor ala they present such a
goodly snow a. a: the FIRST meet OF the Coaching
\ club In the month OF May. 1t may perhaps, be
1 that the comparatively early hour for whicG the
( meet was appointed had something TO do with the
falling OF OF portion Of the company, for OF
equestrans who take their morning Y1de In r T.
ten Row there was a strong muster, wnIle the
concourse Of people on loot was sufficiently large
/ TO give the police active employment in Keeping
them from turning the emInently respectable
/ coaches into SO many cars OF Juggernaut. Stlll
there were many outward signs and tokens that
the season is no longer in its prime. The heavy
rain with which we have been so abundantly
favored has prevsnted the trees from losing
| tner prlmordeal veroure, and the grass is
greener than Hyde PARK grass Is wont to be
IN the first week OF July. But the horses not go
much those In the coaches as those which do
duty In the family oarouche or the more go-ahead
park phaeton, give evidence OF having mad
plenty OF work these last two months and the
occupants OF many OF the carriages looG as If IL
were time that DISSIPATION at ASCOT and Hurllng-
| ham, nine O'Clock dinners and two dances an
evening, should be replaced by a couple OF m Ont1s
at one OF the German spas or plunge into the
mists OF Scotland. To one or other OF these
places many OF the people present at the Powder
Magazine Will soon be fitting, and more than one
popular member OF the Four-ln-Hand club was
plying bis salmon rod In Norway yesterday, while
nis colleagues were on their way TO Alexandrs

. INLAND Club was TO have had It's second meet
last Thursday, but as the Prince Of Wales' garden
party was Fixed for that day postpone
ment until Monday was deemed desirable
In the meanwhile the bad weather hac
compelled q postponement OF the garden
party until the same date, ana as the
Fourin-Hand club could not well make a second
adjournment 1t was decided that the meet
Instead OF taxing place In the afternoon, should
be at halfpas twelve O'Clock. In thls way those
members VINO were invited TO Chlswick-and they

horses and go down 10 the garden party
