AN IDEA.
Whit an odd thing It would be if James
Gordon Bennett were TO buy the Stewart
palace as home for married life ? Stranger
things than this have happened, and no one
need be surprised should 1t take place. 1t
is now one Of the lovelest spots 10 this
city. There is the reception room, the par
Tor, the dining room, each of IS feet cell
ing, gorgeously furnished, and exhibiting
style uuequalled in America. Tnere is the
picture gallery with 40 feet of wall graced
is one-thrd of a million. There are the
stately apartments up stairs, whose finish
exceeds description-and all the occupants
are mourning widow and her servants.
A person of sensitive misd would desire to
escape the associations of sorrow which
have transformed the place into a living
tomb. All who pass the spot notice the
impressive silence which surrounds it. 1t
s just the place for Bennett. He would
soon break up the dreadful silence. The
grand house would be filled with the young
men of this city, and the once quiet scene
would be rife with the widest revelry. The
idea which | have suggested ia both practi-
cable and important. Bennett can pay
more for the palace than any other man,
because he is the only very rich man who
is willing 10 throw away his money, and
then az a married man be will need house
suited to his position.
THE RIDING CLUB.
Bennett can be seen almost every day at
Dickels's riding school, corner Fifth aven-
ue and Tbrty-ninth street. The Polo club
meets here from 12 to o'clock and he is
it's chief man. He imported six Mexican
ponies to use in the game, ard therefore the
players are limited to this number. Dick
els's school is about 90 feet square, the bot
tom being tan bark. Polo is skinny"
played horseback. Three on SIDE each
with long bat, strike the ball and try to
drive the opposite party. Such is the
amusement of the proprietor Of the most
profitable journal in America. Dickelss
riding school is well patronized, and the
chief teacher. Mr.. Stout, is an admirable
horseman. The terms are SO. so for one
lesson of an hour, but 90 lessons are given
for $50. Horses are kept on livery at $40
per month, all payments being demanded
in advance. Occasionally there is to be seen
at Dickels's the elegant but petite form of
an accomplished equeStrienne, whose skill
attracts general attention. This is Madem-
iselle RubinO, who is the best rider among
the ladies of this city. She Is from Europe,
and is said to speak six languages. Her
horse while | was there was a splendid
French racer, and she has two others for
the road. Dickels is the place where she
and her groom mount for exercise on the
avenue, but while | was there it was rainy
and therefore she practiced In the school.
