THE SECOND MEETING OF THE sEAsoN-sEvEN-
Tx-sIx SPLENDID HORSES TURNED OUT WITH
FAULTLEss APPOINTMENTS.
[From the Daily (London) News, July 6l
One sign among many that the London season
is on rhe wane was dIscerniDle In Hyde PARK yes
terday morning, when the Four-in-Hand Club met
for the second anu probably for the last time this
year. Not tnat there was any great diminution
IN the number OF coaches assembled at the Pow
DER Magazine. there being nineteen as against
twenJy-sx whlcn met on the lst OF June, but the
spectators were not nearly so numerous on the
previous occasion; nor aid they present such
goodly snow as a. the FIRST meet OF the Coaching
club in the month OF May. 1t may, perhaps, be
that the comparatively early hour for whicG the
meet was appointed had something to do with the
falling on OF portion OF the company, for OF
equestrians who take their morning ride In Ret
ten Row there was a strong muster, while the
concourse Of people loot SUI cientIy large
TO give the police active employment in keeping
them from turning the emlnently respectable
coaches into so many cars OF Juggernaut. Stln
there were many outward signs and tokens that
! . fha "a Th1
rain with which we have been so abundantly
favored has prevented the trees from losing
their primordeal veroure, and the grass Is
! greener than Hyde PARK grass Is wont to be
| IN the hrst week OF July. But the horses, not go
much those In the coaches as those which do
duty In the family barouche or the more go-ahead
park phaeton, give evidence OF having mad
plenty OF work these last two months. ana the
occupants OF many OF the carriages loox as II IL
were time that dissipation at Ascot and HurllnV-
ham, nine O'Clock dinners and two dances an
evening, should be replaced by a couple OF months
at one OF the German spas or plunge into the
mlsts OF Scotland. To one other OF these
places msny OF the people present at the Powder
Magazine Will soon be hitting, and more than one
popular member oil the Four-ln-Hand club was
plying bis salmon rod In Norway yesterday, while
nis colleagues were on their way 10 Alexandrs
PARK and Cnlswick. Talking or CnisSicK, Dy the
way It may as well De mentioned tnat the Four
INLAND Club was TO have had It's second meet
last Thursday, but as the Prince OF Wales' garden
party was fixed Tor that day postpone
ment until Monday was deemed desirable.
In the meanwhile the bad weather hac
compelled . postponement OF the garden
party until the same date, ana as the
Four INLAND CLUB could not well make second
adjournment it was decided that the meet
Instead Of taking place in the afternoon, should
be at half-past twelve O'Clock. In this way those
members VINO were invited to Chlswick-and they
formed the large majority OF the nineteen Assem-
bed-vere able to take part In the "cavalcade
on Wheels" and 70 get back in time to change
horses and 20 down TO the garden party
opinions must always differ as to the excellence
OF the horsenesn TO be seen on such occasions
compared WITH what may nave been witnessed
