JOLLY COACAERs ON PARADE.
Eight Stylish Turnouts Gather on
the Mall.
Short Drive to jerome Park, Where
Dinner Was Served.

Despite the lowering skies that threat
ened a disspiriting trip, the New York
Coaching Club had it's ninth annual
parade to-day, starting as usual in Cen
trail Park.
The parade formed a short distance
west Of the Mall. on the drive leading
in from Eighth avenue and facing
towards the Mall.
In the roadway leading to the Mall
hundreds of fashionable vehicles of all
sorts and horsemen and women had
taken places to view the coaches as
they passed.
There were eight coaches in the pa
the year before. 1t was thought hat
more would be in line, but many Of the
members are abroad, and the threaten
ing aspect of the skies evidently kept
others from joining tle party.
The women in the coaches tempted the
weather demon by appearing in the
lightest of Spring clothing and bonnets.
But he hadn't the heart to send a shower
upon so much beauty, and the raindrops
that had been falling at intervals ceased
a few minutes before the first coach
made its appearan .e. 1t rolled up gayly
from the main entrance to the Park, and
wheeling in fine style down the Eighth
avenue drive for a few hundred yards,
1t turned and moved up to the starting
point.
