attraction. The little riders, under high
" colored parasols, with their horses
stepping high under the flutter and rustic
Of the rose leaves, had faces flushed
with the excitement and fever of the oc-
casion and presented a very beautiful
sight. All along the line the charm of
their decorations and the riders enjoy
ment of the event were much comment
ed upon. They were as sweet as the
flowers themselves and the ornamentation
could not have been more effective and
complete.
MISS MINNIE ROSE, AWHEEL.
Miss Minnie Rose charmed all with her
beauty, with her striking costume and
with the grace with which she managed
her red-poppied bicycle. In the posture
Of the wheelwoman who has learned to
coordinate that inexplainable system of
curves and 10 assume that unteachable
angle of inclination which together make
lovely women awheel as much a dream
of grace as ever in whirling waltz or
stately promenade, she on her fower-hid-
den bicycle pleased all beholders.

A small phaeton &, lawn by a white
horse came next. The color scheme was
that Of pink and white. The wheels

around, first came the pink and then the

decoration. The floral colors were pink
and white but the attractive feature OF
the decoration was the butterflies which
were fastened on the wheel at every
available place. The spokes of the wheels
were hidden entirely from view and as

MISSES ALLEN AND PRATT.
Blue and white was the coloration Of
the stanhopo pheaton, driven by Misses
Bessie Allen and Helen Pratt. The ex-
terror of the phaeton was blue, while the
inside was lined with snow white. Blue

colors, and they were certainly very be-
comingly used upon this phaeton yester-
day. The horses were white and made
an elegant appearance harnessed in blue
Blue ribbon streamers were used to good
effect and the hoat was well complement
ed by the graceful occupants.
