Rules for Riding.
From the Burlington Hawkeyc

From the Burlington Hawkeye.
In mounting, face the near side of
the horse, The near side is the side
nearest yourself. Ifyou stand on the
right side of the horse, which is the
wrong eide, when you mount, you will
face the crupper. Then everybody will
know your name is johanna Gottlieb
Ernisgefolger.
If YOU cannot mount from the ground,
lead the horse to high fence, climb
up on the fence, and say "whoa" two
or three times, and jump over the
horses ears. You will light somewhere
on his neck, and will have plenty of
time to adjust yourself while the horse
is running away. Another method OF
mounting, largely practiced by young
gentlemen from the city, is to balance
yourself on one foot on the fence, and
point the other leg at the horse in the
general direction of the saddle, saying
"whoa" all the time. The horse, after
this gesture has been repeated two or
three times, backs away, pulls the al
legged rider off the fence and walks up
and down the lane with him at a rapid
gallon. This gives the rider, in about
ten minutes, all the exercise he wants
for week.
If by some miracle you manage to
get into the saddle, hold on with both
hands, and say "whoa." The faster
the horse goes the tighter you must
hold ON, and the louder you must "hol-
ler.n
Ifyou are from New York or Phila-
delphia, you will shorten the stirrups
until your knees are on level with
your chin. Then, as you ride you will
rise to your sect and stand in the atti-
tude of man peering over fence to
look for his dog, and then suddenly fall
In the saddle like man who has step.
ped on a banana peel. This is the
English school. 1t is hard on the
horse, but is considered very graceful.
A man cannot wear false teeth, how
ever, and ride in this manner.

sumo are at other Northern resorts this

this spring and summer had enormous
figures. The hats worn at White Sui
phur, too, are not nearly so large or con-
spicuous looking in any way as those 1
have seen at the North. A few only
have worn them there with exa2ger-

were the prevailing style. Wherefore,
think the taste of the two sections OF the
country in dress must have been ex-
changed.
