THE OUTDOOR WOMAN.

Affection long hoped for, and indeed
expected by all those whose interest il
bicycles has not destroyed their early love
for the horse, has undoubtedly made itself
felt this fall. In the last few weeks not
only have more horsemen and horsewomen
been met upon country roads and city
parkways, but there has been an increase
in the number of pupils at the riding
academies. This fact speaks we'll for the
future, because it proves that, besides the
old riders who are returning to their al
legiance, new generation is arising, still
inspired with the desire to master the good
old art OF equestrianism 1t would have
been great pity, certainly, il the spor,
had been allowed to die out because of the
inevitable rivalry which sprang up at first
between it and the newer pastime Of wheel
ing. There is plenty Of room for both.
Horsemanship, because of the greater ex-
pense connected with its pursuit in most
places, can never become popular amuse-
ment in the same sense as cycling, and
consequently the two need not seriously
conflict with each other. People whose
means will permit it can, and frequently
do, enjoy both amusements. The many
qualities which horse back-riding possesses
OF kind entirely different from those of
any other exercise, and the host OF historical
and romantic traditions which cling to it,
make il deserve to be cherished and pur-
sued as desirable accomplishment
Mr.. Ernst Carl Won Gilman. an ex.
perienced and thoroughly scientific riding
master who has taught in this country for
ten years, and who ia now superintendent
Of Dickel's Riding Academy, the oldest
establishment of its kind in the city, talked
with me last week about the revival of
horsemanship which has set in. He says
that its depression in the last two or three
years, due largely to the advent of the
safety bicycle, was discouragng, but that
here. as has been observed in other parts of
the country, there is now a change.
In regard to the decline in sngle-footing
and pacing, Mr.. Won Gilman says:
"a few years ago, when people rode
more for the sake of being moved from
place to place than for the art ITSELF they
wanted to be carried in the easiest possible
way, and so they perferred those rocking
gaits, which did not jolt them at all. Now
misunderstanding is pastime and an exer-
else, not merely means of locomotion, so
the more stylish trot and gallop have been
developed.
In the South, where nearly all the women
and girls are at home on horseback, riding
Is still used as means OF travel, and, as
natural result, single-footing and pacing
are far more common there. This is also
true OF the thinly settled districts in the
West.-Harpers Bazaar.
