WHEN pretty woman tries to learn to ride
horses astride, Just like man." & peculiar
and unfeisned interest in the result is sure to
be relt by masculine riders. In Miss Rose

who, on CERTAIN occasion. mounts his horse
and rides off in great hurry. So Miss Cogh-

told to put her left foot in the stirrup and
mount. She did SO promptly, aud then the as

anybody had supposed that it would do; so the
mount was tried again. This time the position

horse started under protest and went out at the

walk up the road with every appearance of
never having met before and of finding each

toot that owned it. So the experiment went on,
ana by degrees the rider gained a little IN bold
ness and the horse in confidence, and then he
was induced to go little faster. After half an
ho9r triat Miss Coghian decided that she had
had enough, aud dismounted. evidently greatly
