The New York Riding Club, the pioneer

artist to make a picture of the tandem and

of the left hand separating the reins, the
end of the rein passing over the forefinger.
The near lead rein is taken through the
full of the left hand, and the off lead in
the full of the right hand. The mounted
horse is guided by the neck and the lead
horse by the bit.
The New York Riding Clubs uniform is
blue blouse, braided, cut short and but
toned down before like our old friend
Grimeso; trousers tight fitting; boots of
unvarnished leather; and cap like a Dicy-
Gle cap, bearing the clubs monogram.
This is the general idea of all club uni
forms hereabouts. They differ in minor
particulars only; and in the monogram.
1t is notable that when the New York
Riding Club was organized the number of
horses on the bride path was utterly in
considerable compared to that of today.
Riders were, as one might say, a little fra
ternity; and 1t was customary for them to
salute each other even if they held no So
cial relations. Now the park is s o crowded
as to be almost dangerous; indeed it is
dangerous on Sunday when, apparently,
everybody who can acrape together the
hire of a saddle horse comes out to give
his neighbor trouble. Sunday riding, for
this reason, is out of favor with the upper
crust who would not let the sacred charac-
ter of the day interfere with their enjoy
ment but find the rabble too much for
them.
This reminds me that a great many
clergymen of this city ride-not on Sun
day of course. Bishop Potter sets them a
good example in this matter, for it GER
tainly is a healthful exercise, and we'll cal
culated to stimulate reflection. The bishop
is a fine figure on horseback. Beyond the
clerical cut of his waistcoat he does not de-
viate in dress from others in the high So
cial circles.
Many of the wealthy Hebrews in this
city are members of the Park Riding Club
with headquarters at the Central Park
Academy. Elias Rothschild is president,
and Henry l.. Calman secretary. This
and the New York Club make feature of
evening rides, going ten or twelve miles
out into the country, taking supper and
returning in the white simmer of the
moonlight
hechildren of the Four Hundred-fully
as exclusive and scarcely more numerous
than their parents-make great sport of
riding. They wear box coats, breeches
and leggings; or for their pony races flash
out in Jockey costumes trying to the eye.
Making jockey suits is no small part of
the work of the tailor who makes a
speciality of riding outfits. Your gentle
man jock outshines the sun when he comes
out to win prize with fair woman for
spectator. There are few shades of silk
that haven't done service in a Jockey suit
for some swell New Yorker. And some of
the Four Hundred ride like demons, too,
when there is any occasion for it. The

being commonplace and monotonous, it is
quite novel and striking.
For example, a gray tweed dress checked
in blue and another shade of gray was
seen yesterday, prettily made in the usual
jacket and plain skirt style, but varied in
appearance by having vest of fawn col
ored surah The vest was very full and
was gathered In at the waist line to a very
narrow point, giving the wearer that long,
slim effect which is so highly sought. No
buttons were visible.
Still another tweed dress of gray is COM
bined with a vest of gray silk. With it
was worn an immensely long ostrich
feather boa, ecru in color, and fastened at
the neck with a bow of ecru ribbon. By
this device the feathers were spared being
tied and were left undisturbed at the
throat. as they could not have been if the
wearer had knotted them or twisted them
in the careless way which is fashionable.
The hat worn with this gown was unique
in that it was merely a little capote made
of tweed off the same piece as the dress. 1t
was very full in the crown and had mar
row border of black ostrich feather trim
ming. Two long black velvet strings
crossed under the wearer's chin and were
brought up at the back OF the head and
fastened with jewelled pin.
A pretty little fad is in vogue for carry
ing the watch upon the outside of the
dress. 1t is not worn low in regular chate-
laine fashion, but is tied with tiny velvet
bow and fastened to the breast by pin OF
some unique design. With the gown first
mentioned, the wearer carried her watch,
which was gold black enameled one, on
the left lapel of her gown. 1t was tied
with small black velvet bow and was
mined To the dress by means of turquoise
and pearl pin. The pearls were inlad in
the turquoise so as TO form the wearer's
initials.
The prettiest autumn gown that has
been seen lately was combination OF gray
cheviot and black. 1t was an imported
gown, and seemed TO have the understandable
touch which eharacteriZes dresses that are
made on ..the other side" and are sent over

track OF things and TO notice the return of
styles which We're in vogue seven wears

1t was inst about seven seasons in the
past that feather hats were fashionable.
Ten they were called simply feather hats
or feather bonnets. Now that they have
come in again they are feather toques or
feather capotes. But they are still the
same IN shape.
The newest ones, which are after all
merely repetition of the old ones. are
made of the smooth heavy breasts which
were so much used for trimming in the
past. Four are required for hat. 1t is
prettier to have them all of one color. II

The UTAH REPUBLICANS.

1t was very fair representation of the
leading men Of their party that was had il
the Republican territorial convention on
Wednesday. They demonstrated that they
are very much in earnest, and exhibited the
spirit of endurance and persistency which
calls for admiration wherever shown. Of
course THE HERALD does not agree with
the political views expressed in the plat
form, but an Independent resolution
adopted by the convention seems to US to
embody good deal of sound sense:
Resolved, it is the sense OF this convention
that the federal appointments for Utah should
be selected from the Republicans of Utah who
are true and loyal TO the party, who vote its
ticket, and the Republican administration is re-
quested to select his appointees from that class.
The ignoring by Republican admins
tration Of the only Republican organiza-
ton in the territory, to award its favors TO
q hybrid party which has no national sig
nifcance whatever and represents no liv-
ing issue in Utah, would seem too absurd
for serious consideration. AS far as service
goes, the apostate Democrat who votes the
Liberal ticket is as much entitled to of
fetal recognition at Washington as any
other of its supporters, so that the logic
that Republican administration must
choose avowed and active Republicans for
its representatives is clear and irresistible.
In its platform the Republican conven-
ton does not vary at many points from
similar bodies in. the western states. The
opposition TO placing WOO, on the tariff free
list has lost its force in view of the opera.

wool is cheaper now than ii has been for

which are needed by every household, are

be protectionist in principle, is more thar
we can see.

"appropriating the public lands of the
United States for homesteads for Ameri-
can citizens and Settlers would, it seems
to US, haye mora thrilling exaltation if II
had sounder basis. A party which has
appropriated" 100, 100000 of acres of the
public lands and given them to Massachu-
sets and other eastern corporations cannot
have much consideration for actual settlers
who have to buy these lands at advanced
prices from railroad companies, instead Of
entering them at the public land Offices as
homesteads.
The Utah Republicans endorse the ad-
ministration of President HARRISON" but
intertwine the endorsement so thoroughly
with commentator of BLAINE as to show
an almost perfect neutrality of preference.
And yet so far as HARRIsoN's administra-
ton has been distinctive il has devoted
itself to the interests of Wall street and to
the degradation of silver money. Still the
resolutions demand that silver be restored
to its ancient position.
The opposition to disfranchisement, the
| advocacy Of amnesty, the attitude as to
| statehood, the favoring of the Australian
ballot system and personal registration are
all sound.

ADMISSION OF STATES.

In the thirty years of Republican rule
eight new states have been admitted into
the union, including West Virginia, which
was torn from the Old Dominion by what
Mr.. LINCoLN's attorney general stigma
TIED as IAN original act of revolution. u
Besides West Virginia, there have been
Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington
and Wyoming. In the twenty-five years
preceding, ten new states came in. viz: Ar
kansas, Michigan, Florida, Iowa, Texas,
Wisconsin, California, Minnesota, Oregon
and Kansas. Every new state admitted
under Republican auspices was carved out
of territory acquired under Democratic
ascendency. The whole region from the
Mississippi to the Pacific ocean, comprising
fifteen states and FIVE territories destined
to become states, is the product of Demo
cratic purchases and conquests.

1T WAS only few days ago we spoke Of
the 'previousness' of the French people
in assuming a naughty attitude towards
the Germans because of recent diplomatic
alliances with Russia. There is no mis-
taking the new defiant spirit Of the French.

the "atrocity" of Sedan. He says: cal

tempest that will sweep away another

be said to be invincible. France is but just
