Speaking of the Presidents who
were f0nG Of horses u writer says:
President Cleveland rode little in
the saddle. lie was too heavy TO cut
a good figure on horseback, u I'd lie
knew il. President Arthur rode a
good deal by the order OF his doctor
curing the last years of his life, and
he kept very fine horse. Nearly all
of cur Presidents have been good
hOrsemen, and President HRI risoI'
grandfather, "Old Tirrecanoe, was
almost a crank on horseback riding,
aud when he was iLaugurated as
President he insisted on riding Oh
horseback to his inauguration,
though a carriage had been brought
for him, and he rode ont 10 the Capt.
al on his while warhGrse. Thomas
Jefferson rode OF horseback TO his
inauguration, and the finest hcrses
any President ever had Were those 81
| WashiH gtOn. He had great many
| fire steeds, and lac made his hOstler'
wash the teeth of his coach horse
every morning and clean them ou
! with tooth picks before he would takt
them out 10 drive. He mad q cOacl
which was the wonder of the RevO

more swell than anything we have
to-day.
