The two whlppers-in, who have charge

the various arrangements for their
meets and attend to all their own mat

feature of the Denver club is that
every woman rides astride. In their
experiences 1t has been demonstrated
that more security to the rider and
comfort TO the mount are insured by
the use of the mans saddle. If all
things go as arranged, this western
club Is to have its counterpart in New
York. There are n score of women in
and about New York who have heart.
lily entered into the project of forming
an organization patterned on like
lines. The names of Mrs. Thomas
Hitchcock, Jr., and Miss Marion Hol-
loway have been suggested for mis-
tress of the hunt. Hardly less well
known than Mrs. Hitchcock, Jr., as an
admirable rider, is Miss Holloway,
who owns stock farm and whose
knowledge of horses is extensive.
Hunting the coyote is a much more
exciting sport than following the

OF RUSSIA
RULING FAMILY IN THE EN-
PIRE oF THE GAR.
How Christian Names Are Bestowed
The Sons and Grandchildren Of
Gear Are Grand Dukes
International Connections.

The fact that Christian names in the
Russian royal family are few and that
they are repeated frequently makes it
sometimes a little difficult to identity
the particular grand dukcto whom refer
ence is made in a foreign telegram. But
the difficulty is not really so. serious
when once wehave mastered the subject.
In the first place, it is customary, in
naming a grand duke, to append his IA
tiers name; thus we speak OF the Grand
Duke Michael Nicolaeyitch, the Grand
Duke Micheal Michaeloyitch, and the
Grand Duke Michael AlexanGroVitch.
There are Only a score OF Grand dukes,
for 1t should be here stated that not
every descendant Of a tsar is a grand
duke. The title is limited to sons and
%grandsons OF sovereigrs; the great
| grandsons, who are not grandsons CT a
tsar, are princes Of Russia. The Tsar
Nicolas |. will always be remembered as
the tsar of the Crimean lie died
Suddenly, his death being fastened by
the bitter disappointment n humilia-
tioa caused by the defeat OF the Russian
arms. He was succeeded by his eldest
son, Alexander H., who In 1881 was
killed by the explosion of a nihilist
bomb. Alexander H. s eldest son Nicolas
had died in 1866 as the result of an acci-
dental blow from his brother Alexander
who thus came to the throEo in his stead.
Nicolas had been engaged to Princess
Dagmar of Denmark, and on his Death
bed consigned his intended bride to the
care of his brother, bidding him marry
the lady. Alexander carried out his
brothers wish, and the eldest child Of
the parrlngc is the Drasent tar, who
succeeded to the throne in 1894.
The Oldest grand duke is the tsar's
great-uncle, Michael NicolaeTitch, who
is the sole surviving Q of the Tsar
Nicolas |. He has five sons, all OF whom
are in the army except Alexander, who is
in the navy. His only daughter married
the late Grand Duke Of M~ecklenbdrg-
Sch werin, father of the grand duke who
has iuGt married Princess Alexandra of
Cumberland. One OF his sons, the Grand

THE EMpER0k oERussIA,

Duke Michael (Micheelovitch), who
married the Countess Torby n was
banished therefor, has Just been allowed
torcturn TO Russia. The youngest grand
duke is Dmitri P~aulovitch, born in 1891,
a first cousin of the tsar. The tsar has
no sons, his four children being all girls,
and the heir presumptive to the throne is
his brother Michael. The second son Of
the late tsar, George. died IN 1909. One
grand duke OF whom we have heard
much lately, is Cyril, the son of the tsar's
uncle Vladimir. He and his brother
Boris have both been at the seat of war.
Cyril served in the havy and Boris in
the army. Cyril. 1t Will be remembered,
was one of the survivors of the destruc-
ton of the P-ctropaylovsk. He Is en-
gagged, so rumour says, to his cousin,
Princess Victoria Melita Of Saxe-Coburg,
who was formerly the wife Of the Grand
Duke of Hesse, from whom she was
divorced on account Of his incompati-
bility of temperament. OF the other
grand dukes, the tsar's uncle Alexis is
constantly mentioned, being the grand
admiral of Russia. Another uncle. Vlad-
mir, the father Of Cyril ard Boris, isonc
bf the leaders of the war party in the
Russian court.
The Russian royal family Is connected
with that of England; In the first place
because the tsar's mother was Princess
Dagmar Of Denmark. q sisterof the Ena-
lish queen; and secondly because his
aunt Marie married the late Duho Of

new ROUTE TO INDIA
EIGHTEEN HOURS SAVED FROM
LONDON TO BOMBAY.
"a Through European Railway Line
That viii Connect Greece with
the Other Nations of the
Continent.

In these days of rapid transit, when
the journey from London to Bombay
can be performed in a fortnight, every
hour counts for more than It did in the
old days, before the age of steam, and
eny scheme to bring India half a day
nearer to London would be sure to at
tract attention. The new Greek railway
which is now being constructed will,
when finished, accomplish more than
this, the precise saving in time in the
Journey to the east being calculated at
AS hours. In addition to this, it will
form the sole railway communication
between Greece and the rest of Europe,
for, strange rs 1t may seem, Greece has
mot yet been connected with the Euro
pean railway system, the few short
lines she possesses stopping short OF
the Turkish frontier. The new railway
then will be an important factor in the
commercial development of Greece, and
with a direct service from Paris to
Athens an immense tourist traffic will
be assured, and students of art and
archaeology will flock to the cradle of
European civilization.
