An idea Of the exhilirating sport OF
cross country riding has been clearly
given in the following verses by A. Lind
say Gordon:
oh. the vigor with which the air Is rife,
The spirit of joyous motion,
The fun. the fulness of animal life
Can be drained from no earthly poton'
The lungs. with the living gas grow light.
And the limbs feel the strength Of ten,
While the chest expands with It's madden
ing might
Gods glorious oxygen.
Thu the measured stroke, on elastic
sward
OF the steed three parts extended,
Hard held the breath of his nostrils broad
With the golden ether blended,
Then the leap, the rise from the springy
turf,
The rush through the bouyant air
And the light shock landing-the veriest
serf,
Is an emperor then and there
Too much praise cannot be bestowed
CT the gentlemen who have given their
tirno ard means TO the organization OF
this club. The Deep Run Hunt" was
not organized to destroy foxes dor, in
| deed. there are none In this vicinity
but It's object is, rather. to encourage the
practice Of horseback riding. In the fur
| therance Of this object the club has been
marifestly successful. To-day there are
many more riders both male and female,
| In Richmond than there were eighteen
! months ago, when the club commenced
| It's hunts. and the riders have become
| accomplished equestrians. AS with many
| ~ tbe clubs Of this character, ladies are
eligible for membership. and are entitled
10 nearly all the privileges Of the club.
| some of the most graceful and fearless
! riders who follow the hounds are ladies'
who often leave the men in the rear when
| a daring Jump is to be made.
The club win resume It's spirited hunts
| next autumn In the meantime members
| win rendezvous at the country CiuD
| House. where the kennels will be-con-
! pare notes, enjoy sociabiiity pracuce
| cumming. and formulate plans for an
| other season.
| MIR Edward Warren has been the re-
| cipient Of warm congratulations upon MS
reelection as city auditor, from many
| friends.
| What a wise man Is Mr.. Philip D.
| Armour. saws the washington" He
| doesn't wait to die 70 make good use
| of his money, but superintends his own
! benefactions In memory OF his early
| life in California, Mr.. Armour has given
| Ave hundred thousand dollars to the
| public school department of San Fran
! cisco, for the founding of boys manual
training school. A better glft could not
| be made. The boys of the Golden Gate
need to learn to respect their own hands
and 10 use them.
Horace Greeley once wrote to an appli-
| cant for work "My friend, If you are
| indeed qualified for a first-rate proof
reader or can easily make yourself so,
Won need never fear. But don't fancy
| the talent and knowledge required for a
mere Secretary Of state. President, or any
such trust, will be sufficient.
Tho many friends of Major Benjamin
II Nash will be glad to learn that his
condition is somewhat improved.
