HOW A RIDER SHOULD SIT.

Suggestions for Would-Be Equestrians.
Much has been written concerning
the right position of rider in the sad
die, but too much cannot be said on
the subject, for good seat, even more
than good hands, is essential to perfect
form on horseback.
Any one is well seated who is firm in
the saddle, but every beginner must
not suppose that he is destined to be-
come fine and elegant horseman.
Yet, generally speaking, any pupil who
is instructed by good master, who
will add to the usual lessons long
course of riding without stirrups, and
who will practice on difficult, fiery
horses, will succeed in attaining a good,
firm seat.
The rider should sit with head erect
and without stiffness, the eyes must
ible, the shoulders sloping naturally,
and the arms, from shoulder to elbows,
close to the body This position of the
arms is absolutely necessary to enable
the rider to obtain light hand. The
forearms should incline forward and
slightly down, the hands held closed,
thumbs uppermost. The pressure OF
relaxation OF the fingers on the reins
will control the horses mouth. Do
not sit with the back followed and the
chest swelled out; on the contrary,
maintain the body upright, but with
out rigidity. The upper part of the
body will be supported by the buttocks,
as though the rider was sitting III
chair. The legs should hang we'll
down, the thighs grasping the saddle
firmly, with the knees close without
pressure, the toes higher than the heels.
The length of the stirrup must be
proportionate to the length of the legs.
The correct length is when the sole of
the stirrups is in line with the heel-top
Of the shoe OF boot. BY turning the
ankles in all directions they acquire
suppleness which will enable one to

which may well be recognized as an
epoch that was giving birth to a new
order of things.
There were also gatherings of mer-
chants in India, China and Russia at diff
frrcnt times for the iurthcrng Of their
commercial interests that were then
called fairs, but the London exhibition Of
1881 was the first that deserved to be dig
uiiicd with the title of Universal Fair.
Its originator was the good Prince AL
bert, and to him is due the credit of one
of the most impO tant events Of the
present century, for from the starting
point of 1851 have followed all other
Worlds Fairs until now, when Chicago,
which at that period was little more than
a Struggling prairie village, will close
the century with what promises to
eclipse all former universal eXpoSitions,
The London Fair of 1851 was all held
under one roof. The building, which
was constructed of iron and glass, was
1851 feet long, To correspond with the
year, and $40 feet wide This immense
structure was begun and completed in
the incredibly short space of four
months. and cost S9G5, 900. Over ten
thousand persons were employed in one
way or another in the work of cOnstruc-
ton. The exhibition was opened with
great rcIat ON the list Of May by the
Queen i'm person. Prince Albert in an
address explaining the objects and pur-
poses OF the undertaking. The man
ayers OF this fair secured profitable re-
turn. the surplus left being $3.50, 600.
The total number OF exhibitors was 49,,

at Athens, with 914 exhibitors. In 1861
there were national art exhibitions in
Dublin, Edinburgh and Florence.
The Worlds Fair at Munich was open
only three months, owing to the approach
Of cholera. The building, constructed of
iron and glass, was 500 feet long and $50
wide, and cost $3.50 600 The number Of
exhibitors was 1000.
London entered upon and successfully
carried through a second Worlds Fair
in 1862. The buildings, which covered
an area Of tWcnty-fOur acres, cost ST.
6O5, 600 The number of exhibitors was
1858 The total number OF visitors
amounted to nearly six millions and d
quarter The daily average attendance
was 36, 32S, and the largest number on
! any one day was 81, sol.
Frances second Worlds Exposition
was held at Paris in 1867. The main
building, which was Oval-shaped, was
1850 feet long and 1880 feet wide. 1t
covered eleven acres, while smaller
buildings connected with the main build
ing increased the area to thirty-fve
acres. In addition was annexed the
Island of BilIancourt, comprising fifty
two acres, for agricultural purposes.
+ This exhibition opened on April ] and
closed on Nov. 3, being open 1T Gays,
Sundays included. There were so, 32G
exhibitors, and l0,20O,O)O entrances of
visitors, and the receipts were about
equal to So, 1913. 615.
In 1865 an international exhibition was
again held in Dublin, and, like the form
cr one in 1853, owed its existence to the
liberia ity of a private citizen, Sir Benz IL
I min Lee Guinness, The building was of
iron and glass. The total number Of
admissions was nearly 100000. AS III
1853, this exhibition was especially noted
for its collection of magnificent works

the most pretentious exposition that had
been held up to that time. 1t was held
in three buildings-the Palace of Indus
try. the Palace of Fine Arts, and Ma
chinery Hall The total space occupied
in these buildings by exhibitors, inclnd-
ing passages, offices and all else used by
the public, was about 1,8G6,OO0 square
feet The exhibitors numbered %, 954,
of which our country had exactly IA.
This exhibition possessed one feature OF
great interest, which has been made
quite prominent ever since in connection
with worlds fairs. That was the depart
ment of fine arts. Louis Napoleon, En-
pcror Of the French. assisted by Prince
Napoleon, President Of the exhibition,
did all in his power by awards OF dec
OratOns and medals to place France in
the front rank. The. total cost of this
exhibition may be put down in round
numbers at 81 ,OOO-Or, adding cost
of Palace of Industry, paid for by the
French government, nearly $4,000 900
The total receipts reached the sum OF
3.2O2, 4O5 francs, or S644, 100.
From the Worlds Fair. Paris, 1856, to
the Worlds Fair London, 1862, there
were several local cXpOsitions of consid-
cradle Importance, all being the result
Of the impetus given i'll the start by
Prince Abort

bitiOn at Melbourne. in palace OF glass,

There were also interesting local indus

abandon and resume the stirrups at
will. To ride we'll one must be gifted
with q certain amount of physical
adaptability. Every one agrees that
a short, stout man has a greater disad-
vantage than one rather slim and tall.
[ say rather tall, for it is generally
thought that to ride one must be tall.
This is an error. The taller the rider
the longer his body is, and the easier
the center Of gravity is displaced by
reason Of It's elevation. Moreover,
long legs overreach by far the sides Of
the horse, and when the rider is COM
PEELED to use his spurs he must neces-
sarily bend the knees to shorten his
legs, which position is unsigktly and
bad for the seat.
