The fashionable riGing-masters say that
we are becoming as great a nation of horse
men and women as tie English. The
amount of riding done here this summer
would seem to bear them out. The drive
in the afternoon is dotted throughout its
length by graceful figures on horseback.
Or. Pancoast, of Philadelphia, has four
splendid saddlc-horscs. He and the Misses
Pancoast ride with great daring and skill.
Miss Baker, the daughter of Alfred G.
Baker, the Academy aggressive President,
rides with her brother, and so speedily that
her long, old-fashioned curls are sent flying
out on the wind Miss Seligman, the New
York bankers daughter Miss Merritt Miss
Sticls. Mrs. Coloncl Worth, of New York;
Miss Field, Of Brooklyn, and Miss An
drews. of New York, are all dashing and
graceful riders. GroOms are rarely seen

The charge for his services is about 50 IN

The gain to papa's peace of mind, how ever,
comes from the fact that one master may
