In a few hours they became riotous,

citizens and the town authorities ar
rived to suppress the band and agen-

shot and captured, while Charles Smith

in the head and arms.
The desperadoes fled back to West
Virginia, where they have their head
quarters in the mountains. A rumor
reached Pocahontas Monday night that
they would return to rescue their COM

As to the physical consequences one may be
pardoned for drawing somewhat on personal

there were few methods OF riding, except

twenty miles a day. and there are those who
Will remember, without any loss of activity
afterward and without ever having suffered
from any of the ills threatened those who ride
women do.
The experienced rider knows how by change
OF gait, to give rest to both herself and
horse. After long level trot the break
into canter Is as resting would be abso-
lutte repose. Moreover the esthetic sense of
American women is sufficiently alert to
keep them from riding cross saddle. The
English costume designed for these daring
equestriennes consists in trousers and a
species of newmarket. When mounted the
coat divides and covers each leg. To keep in
place are straps around the leg On dis
mounting the coat is buttoned down the front

The effect is not attractive. The accordion
divided skirt Is too frivolous and no more
tempting to the eve. The only really pretty
sort of cross-saddle costume is one designed
for hunting. with boots. tights and a jaunty
coat. a costume which looks rs if it might
have been borrowed from the Grand Duchess

CROSS SADDLE.
Let no one be at all exercised about chang
ing their habit in order to ride cross saddle
There is not the slightest danger that the ne
cessity will arise. About dozen years ago the
agitation was asitated. and with the usual re-
suit Nature is pretty apt to look after her
own. and the fact that women in civilized life
ride as they do and persist in it in the teeth of
all the dreadful consequences predicted by the
reformers is pretty sure proof that it is not
done without reason. That women in South
America and Japan ride cross saddle is of but
little consequence; they do SO unconsciously:
the girl in the park is self-conscious, and that
makes all the difference in the world

Horse Men Criticize the Picture.

From the ST Paul Pioneer Press.
There was one thing TO critisize about the ar

TO advertise their recent race meeting. Tho
Autograph referred to represents a field OF
celebrated race horses making a close finish,
ana Is taken from painting IN which these
horses have been grouped. The little black or
brown horse that appears most prominently,
although he il not IA the lead. is Mr. Iorillard's
hero OF two hemlspheres Parole. Ii is an eK-
eellent picture OF tie great horse. but BIZ some
oversight the artist has placed the reins in the
jockey right hand and the whip in his left a
style OF riding that no horseman would adopt
for a minute.
In Washington there is an equestrian statue
that shows the same queer oversight on tho
part OF ITS designer. For some reason. prob
ably because the right hand was formerly left
free for handling the sword. It has always been
considered the correct thing 10 hold the reins

The first thing in learning is to have q horse
that will not refuse the leap. A low wooden
bar is placed across the track. She is instructed
to ride easily, balance we'll in the seat, and.
when the horse is ready to bend forward. hold

and go with him. When over Immediately set
tie back in the seat and draw in the curb. This
assists the horse, which otherwise might STUN

impetus of the leap, would be likely to attempt
an independent career over the horses head.
As in learning to trot there is in jumping a
knack. which needs only to be accompanied
by watchful eve. a steady hand and the requi-
site sef-coDfidence. As these are acquired adj
ditional bars are added until the limit need be
defined only by the horses ability to jump.

rest of the distance. which includes the part
over the pommel knee, the skirt is longer.
The guide to the length is the rider seated,
when the skirt should make a straight line

surplus length is looped up. The skirt has no
