cRosswlst RIDING.
A Riding Master Believes 1t Dangerous
For Women.


Since the appearance ON one Of our
avenues few days ago Of woman rid
ing horse astride there has been tho
usual discussion attending any innovn-
ton in Buffalo Investigation at the To-
cal riding schools proves TINT there uro
number OF society girls taking up this
new fad, which OF course it is mt the
present time. Whether or not it has
como to stay remains to be seen.
People who know very little about
riding are under the impression that tho
crosswiSe riding for women is not so
dangerous. Harold st. John, u local rid
ing master, > authority for the state
Incnt that riding astride is much moro
dangerous than tho way womrn have
been accustomed to ride in tho past and
explains it in the following way:
"A woman has moro Of grip i'll the
sidesaddle than i'll mans saddle" he
said. "A man wouldn't have for the
reason that from the hips down man
has more weight than woman. A WON
ans weight is mostly from the hips up
So tho weight that would keep man
from being thrown in nm emergency
wouldn't be Of the slightest use for {.
woman. Then, too, from the hips To the
knees II man IS leg is longer; consequent
~ he can clinch the side Of the horse
and keep from being thrown i'll this
way, while a woman couldn't, as the
horse shnts where hor kneo would come.
or course good rider doesn't ride "A
horse by his grip. but by balance, but
when an emergency comes and the horse
is frightened and jumps some sort of II
grip is necessary, and the woman will
find the best grip Oh her sdeSaddlo
y woman will have to be n much
more sl;illful rider to ride astrido than
the other way. The reason it has been
so successfully tried i'll New York and
other cities is because only women &C
customed all their lives to equestrian
exercises arc taking itup. You lot u bo-
ginner try it, and SEQ the failure
For myself, l have no objection to
it, only know that it is nonsense for so
many people to say that riding astride
IS safer way Of riding. Ono reason
people have come to believe the old way
not safe is because if woman is ever
hurt riding the fact is published NIL
over tho country, while among the snmo
number of men more are injured, only
nothing is said about it. Anyway, oven
though you hear OF women being hurt.
you mover hear of men being injured.
Then, again, you hear about the
twisted position, Well, have no doubt
TINT tho crosswise position is moro com
Portable, but wo have never heard of q
woman being deformcd through riding

As TO tho grace? Well, that is en-
tirely u matter Of training the eye If ii
wero customary for women to ride in
tho new way, it would look just rs

Elderly Climbers.

Most of Us have, at some timo or other,
climbed mountain and felt some slight
and unaccouEtaolc effects from either the
rarity of the air or giddiness on looking
back at the distance trayersed. l have
been informed by traveller of reputc that
mountain sickness Is now well developed
complaint which frequently attacks people
who, on and after middle age, take to un-
accustomed climbing. This fact adds a
new terror to existence. Seasickness we
know, and 1t takes many journeys TO out
grow, but always thought that we were
safe on land. From what my informant
said, am rather inclined TO believe that
such troubles are due, in great part, to the
overwrought nervous systems of many
people, who rush through existence with
the speed, noise and rattle Of the Scotch
express. The art of being lazy has gone be
join the art Of being contented, and left,
as its successor, a condition of nervous ex.
titement that must make life almost un-
endurable to well regulated mind.
1t Is perhaps a good thing that nature
demands her penalty for snisdirected en-
ergy, and she certainly finds u new com.
plant for. every new indiscretion. The
folly of madly rushing over mountains
without any provocation beyond healthy
bank balance has attracted her attention
hence mountain sickness. And, although
we may endcavor to cheat in many ways.
natures retribution Is invariably bound 70

inclined TO claim "a statute OF limitations
