HOW TO DRIVE.
How to Handle the Reins on
Crowded Streets.
An Art to Re Acquired Only with Practice
Col. Kane's "Tally-Ho" the Start
Ing Of q Popular Pastime In
This Country.
ICoPYRI0Hr, 1921

Certainly in no country in the world
has there been the same accumulation
of wealth during the past twenty years
have been added large numbers to the
class which is generally known as gen
tlemen of leisure To this fact and the
steady but slow improvement of our
roads the increased popul arity of driv-
ing must be attributed. and as our cities
and driveways become more crowded
the art of driving will become more
necessary. Those who remember thirty
years ago know that in those days our
present crowded streets would, if we
had not improved our driving methods.
become one continual block, and as this
crowd increases so will reforms have TO
be introduced that will facilitate traffic.
The rapid growth of coaching since
it's introduction in 1875 demonstrates
how earnest and energetic nation we
are even in our pleasures and sports.
When Col. De Lancey Kane brought
over his ''TallyHo" in that year he had
no idea that the progress would be SO
great.
The colonel was at that time most
enthusiastic lover of coaching, for the
year before he ran a coach in England
from London to Virginia Water. He
took his lessons from Edwin Fownes,
Sr.. celebrated whip, who acted as
coachman or guide, and after the season
was over the colonel was sufficiently
expert to drive with the best amateur
whips in the whole of England. Many
time had such old whips as the Duke
of Beaufort paid the highest compli
ments to the father of coaching in this
country.
1t was during the next season, 1875,
that the colonel brought over the first
coach, which he appropriately named

greatly benefited by boarding school.
There are more good schools than
mothers in the land. fear.
I had but three months personal ex-
perience with boarding school The
only knowledge which gained during
those three months was the conscious
ness of the inadequateness of my math-
cmatical ability and my wardrobe to
cope with my associates. The mathe-
NAUTICAL deficiency could have been rem
edied. perhaps, by return to tho
school. The matter Of wardrobe seemed
without solution.
! do not think more unwise action
can be made by parents than sending a
young girl from the country to city
school. Yet it is done every year by
thousands of devoted parents, who
make painful sacrifices to enable them
to carry out this cherished desire.
The young girl who goes through
the first year Of such school and is not
rendered restless, uneasy and untitled
for the practical duties of life which
usually lie before country bred girls. is
a model Of good sense or born Philos-
opher.
The very sights and sounds OF city
life are distracting and exciting to the
girl who is not accustomed to them; the
crunching of carriage wheels on q
gravel driveway, the fashionably at
tired women, the gossip in the air about
balls and theaters, which the day. schol-
arg brinr is not at all conducive to good
scholarship.
If a boarding school is to be selected,
as necessity frequently demands that it
must be, let it be as remote as possible
from fashionable life. l wish we might
have Protestant schools conducted in
the manner of convent schools. Some
of the most charming girls l have
known, and some of the best educated,
have been taught in converts. There is
greater surveillance over the pupils,
and greater system and more thorough
ness than is to be found in most board

Italy Ho." and with him came Arthur
Fownes, one of the sons of Edwin
Fownes, to act as guard. This coach,
although an entirely new institution,
caught ON right away, and the crowds
that waited its starting and arrival on
Fifth avenue, near the Brunswick. are
well remembered by all lovers and adj
mirers OF coaching. It ran from the
city to Pelham, making as its stopping
place the well known Arcularius hotel.
COACHING BECOMING POPULAR.
The success OF the first years eN-
pertinent induced Col Kane to extend
its trip the next season to New Rochelle,
putting up at the Neptune house. After
that year, 1877, it may be said that
coaching in America had taken root,
and it has blossomed into one of the
most popular pastimes of the country.

THE LABOR TROUBLES IN SPAIN.

Despite the summary execution OF the Here's
Anarchists and their imtators, Spain is still
full of industrious apostles of the gospel of
dynamite and the present disturbances simply
show how effectively these Observation-Disclosures
have done their work Barcelona, the Liver
pool of Spain, has been practically tcrorized
for week by desperate strikers, armed with
knives and revolvers, who have attacked fac
tories, stopped the streetcars, and engaged in
several fierce battles with the soldiers and po-
lice. Cavalry and infantry renforcements have
been ordered from Valencia and Saragossa.
The harbor is under the guns of warships sent
from other ports. The orderly inhabitants
have asked General Blanco, the military gov
crnor of Catalonia, TO proclaim a state of siege,
and serious outbreak is possible at any mo-
ment.
The strikers themselves would be puzzled to
explain their attitude. Since the Heres Incl
dent riots in Spain have really been precipi-
tated on the most absurd and frivolous pre-
texts. In CASTLE the other day, an Episcopal
See was removed from Calahorra to Logrono

general fight was started the infantry marched
in and charged the prisoners with fixed bayOn-
cts, and one was killed and several were Sc
verely wounded. Ferrol, near Corunna, is
threatened with riot by dismissed workmen
from the Government Navy Yard; and at
Corunna last year, at an official funeral, the
people fought with the civil guard, the Mayor
supporting them, and the Government was
obliged to suspend the corporation.
Political discomfort the confused state of the
public finances, and commercial and agricultural
depression make the Spanish people an easy
prey to the Vaccinations of governmcnt-de-
stroyers. Fortunately, the public authorities
are alive to the fact. The Here's Anarchists
were expedtiously garrotted, and the warships
and cavalry at Barcelona indicate that the labor
outrages begun in 1889 are not to be con-
tinucd without risk. WOrkingmen cannot COM
plain that their interests are wholly disregard
ed. The Canovas Ministry year ago present
ed to the Chambers an elaborate scheme of
labor reform, in harmony with the recon-
mendation of the Berlin Labor Conference
