Apropos of coaching, it is interesting to
note its decline and fall in England and its
revival in France, where Americans are
daily distinguishing themselves. England
| has had her heydey OF coaching. Twenty
| years ago it was in full glory, when the own
| ers and drivers were such gentlemen and
| genuine lovers of sport as Sir Henry de
Bath, the Earl of Bectiva. Lord Macdufr,
| now the Duke OF Fife, and the Prince OF
Waes son-in-law. Colonel Clithsroe. and
| New York, who has been q constant
lover OF the sport, drove his coach
over over the Brighton h,,1 road, which ,h. nvas was
OF Beaufort, the present English authority
| ON the niceties of four-in-hand driving.
| There is certain unwritten social law in
England, which makes the road man
drives his coach over. his property for coach
| ing, and them man who trespasses with an
other coach is considered nothing more nor
less than O pirate. The Duke of Beaufort
| had been running coach over the Brighton
road, and when he retired it was his privi-
lege to name q coaching successor. The
coaches were patronized by the cream OF
Englis sweldom in those days Now En-

coaching was in England, and its existence
is due to the fostering care of Mr.: James
Gordon Bennett. He had a coach estab-
lished in 1882. which ran from Paris to Yer
sailles.

trianism in the parks or on the suburban
| roads Every Sunday there are lamenta-
tions over the necessity of breaking up an
agreeable outing party at dinner hour, be-
cause there is nowhere it can go, unless
some hostess is kind enough to throw open
her house and take on the burden of enter
