vincing evidence Of the improvement OF
our city. This remark was made by a { gen.
tlpman who wants to start an enterprise
here which he will have to abandon for the

of having a higher ambition 10 win earth's
gold than by cutting a fellow in half on
his land note. Undoubtedly we have

Horseback Riding
seems to BIZ the favorite amusement and
recreation of our bellies and beaux. 4 par

charge OF riding at a faster gait than al.
lowed by the tow ordinance. / am in.

innocent amusement.
