The Presidents Carriage and Horses.

Ever since the days of ssthe father of his country'r people, particularly the residents of the capital, have taken lively interest in the style of equipage in which the various Presidents of the United States were accus- toned to appear in public. President Arthur has not been without due share of interest of this kind. Indeed, for various reasons, there has been more than the usual curiosity to know whether his ''turn-out' would be shabby or s'loud." This curiosity may now be put at rest President Arthur's carriage and horses are in Washington. The estab- lishment is in every way rich and hand some one indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the finest which has ever ap-
 peared in the streets of the capital. At the same time, however, all it's appointments are subdued, modest and in the best of taste. The carriage, from the New York Broome street Brewsters, is 8 landau of novel design, painted a dark, mellow green, relieved with enough picking out in red to show the out line without being conspicuous. The trim minps are of morocco and cloth, the cushions and doors being faced with heavy lace: The carriage, and is heavily mounted with plain silver. The dress blankets are of heavy dark green kersey, and the coachman's lap-robe of green English box cloth. These are all ornamented with the Presidents monogram. The lap-robe for the inside of the carriage is Labrador otter, beautifully lined with dark green, and having the monogram 70. A. Al worked in silk. The horses two in number, are magnificent animals mahogany bays with blacl points and without white spot anywhere
 They are years old, Is hands high, have fine flowing names and tails and are hat
