Sail Down the River on the Steamer

Sunday school made a trip down the
river yesterday afternoon on the steam
er Henrietta, returning last evening.
More than 400 people took advantage of
the trip and the steamer and barge were
well filed. The Minnesota State band
accompanied the excursionists and fur
nished music. Owing to a delay, the
Henrietta did not arrive from down riv-
er in time to take the party out at
o'clock, as planned. The excursionists
were waiting, but the boat did not come.
An adjournment was taken to the Mer-
chants hotel, and for an hour the band,
stationed in the lobby, gave an impromp-
tn concert.

solutely the best way for q woman TO
ride
If woman rides properly the side
saddle does not develop the right hip.
The trouble is that of the many who
attempt horseback riding so few have
even mastered the A B c of the art,
for it is an art, and must be taught as
much as music. If one simply knows
how to mount and dismount and how
to stick on horse, then certainly rid
ing sideways, or even astride, is not
particularly beneficial.
A horse should not gal1op constantly
with the same foot leading. Changing
from right to left and hack again dur
ing a long ride will entirely counteract
the tendency toward over-development
of one hip. But how many are there
who ever know with which foot the
horse is leading? The fault lies not in
the side-saddle, but in the rider.
Unquestionably, woman was not
meant to ride astrfde.

pute. If it were a thoroughly har-
monious poise it would not thus de-
Velop one hip.
Those who ride infrequently are not
injured by using the side-saddle But
likewise they do not receive the same
amount of benefit as they would riding
astride.
Why woman should handicap all her
pleasures with some senseless impedi-
ment is a riddle unsolved even by this
half emancipated age and generation
The anti bloomerites-and their
name is legion-cannot let loose the
Walls of their arguments on this ques-
ton, for there is absolutely no neces-
sity Of riding astride in boomers. A
divided skirt, properly made, is
equally comfortable, and off the sad
die looks just like any other skirt
This optical argument is the best one
to bring about the needed reform in the
manner of horseback riding.
