Society AwheSl:
The prominent lady riderE have lots to
say as to the enjoyment Of the wheel. Mrs.
Carlisle, who is the first of the cabinet
circle to conquer the silent ttaed, thinks it
is the healthiest kind oful sport. She
ascribes to it the complete restoration to
health of her son, Mr.. William K Car
lisle who not only rides himself, but has
his whole family, wife. two daughters and
son, mounted. Mr.. Logan Carlisle took up
the wheel to please his mother and rode
away from his Instructor at the first les
son. Mrs. Carlisle did not succeed as we'll
as that at first and has no hesitation in
admitting that she thought three strong
men holding her on would have inspired
her with greater confidence than one. She
is sticking at it entirely for love Of it and
the ultimate good results in health and
strength. She recommends 1t to all her
young acquaintances, and quotes the grace
and agility of her friends, the Misses Ham
lin. who are adopts. Miss Jane Hamlin is
a superb rider and never tires of the wheel.
Mrs. Miles, wife of General Miles, is an
other lady not so enthusiastic by personal
experience, but interested because of the
pleasure she has witnessed with her daugh-
ter and her friends. Riding in moderation
she thinks most beneficial in every way.
In the diplomatic circles the Misses
Pauncefote, Madame Cana, Madame Lazo
Arriaga and Madame Hengelmueller are
devotees of the wheel. Mrs. Stewart. wife
of the Nevada Senator, has greatly to her
regret been unable to ride lately, owing

her shoulder badly. But she has lost none
of her enthusiasm and determination.
