With all this Mr.. Hobart Is the most unassum-

but ne generally walks from his house to his
office On Sunday afternoons. perhaps. he may
generally be seen out in his four-seated surrey,
never alone He Is too sOciable for that. Some
times he and Mrs. Hobart may be seen the
road behind pair OF bay horses, Mr. Hobart
holding the reins. and he is expert driver but
generally there is crowd in the carriage with
him, and the carriage he likes best will seat
twelve persons. Many prominent men have
ridden in that vehicle.
