DECLINE OF COACHING.
Women and the Motor Car Caused
It's Failure as a Society Sport.

Women and the Motor Car Caused
Its Failure as n Society Sport.
Coaching Is declining as a sport for
society In England and Alfred G. Van
derbilt may find as few passengers for |
his daily service between London and
Brighton as in his six weeks season
last fall between the Holland House
and Ardsley, says the New York Press.
When Vanderbilt first put his coach,
the Venture, on the Ardsley run a few
years ago 1t was crowded almost every
trip with merry party, women in
variably being in the majority. 1t
was a favorite plan with many host
esses to reserve the coach for a score
Of guests and spread a luncheon at the
Ardsley clubhouse. Mrs. Vanderbilt
herself entertained in this way. Mrs.
Edwin Gould, who, Of course, lives most
Of the year in the Ardsley park, was
another to take friends on the trip,
and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mrs. Stuy
vesant Fish, Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney and Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt all
found the coach a means to novel and
delightful entertainment. Women
meant the success of the coach at the
start, and, as 1t always happens, WON.
en- meant its failure last fall.
There were several days in success
sion when the Venture made the round
trip, using many of Vanderbilt's string
of sixty imported horses, with not
more than four and sometimes only
two passengers. Women had turned
their attention to other things and the
coach was forced into retirement. The
only time when the Venture was re
vived to Its former life was when Van
derbilt himself gave a stag party to a
couple of dozen friends and then 1t ap-
peared dismal, lacking the animation
and color Of feminine setting. Mrs
Alfred Vanderbilt lost interest and 1t
is not unlikely her husband will meet
with similar Indifference In Eng
land. There was revival of coach
ago, but 1t has fallen on evil days
again simply because women refuse to
look to 1t for diversion.
One explanation lies in the automo
bic and the craze for the thrill Of fly
ing at express speed. After an expert
ence with a six-cylinder motor the lum-
bering coach seems a slow and tame
vehicle and the women of the fashion
able world even more than the men de-
light in sending automobiles along at
reckless speed. Perhaps IL Vanderbilt
contrived a motor-coach and put 1t in
commission on the Ardsley run 1t would
not go on Its travels frowned upon by
women, and as a result Stunned by
men. Philadelphia seems to be the
only live coaching city.

sIBBELL LUDINGToN's RIDE


An incident of the Revolutionary
War, as deserving of its place in popu-
lar memory as Paul Revere's ride. is
recorded in the Journal of American
History. Col. Henry Ludington, while
mere boy, during the French and
Indian War, was detailed to escort
company of invalid soldiers from Can
ada to Boston. This perilous duty and
journey through the Wilderness under
taken In the dead of winter, was one
of almost incredible hardship, but the
gallant youth successfully accomplished
the task assigned to him. His daugh-
ter afterward showed that she was
equally daring and courageous.
Washington selected Col. Ludlngtoh
as an aide-de-camp at the battle of
White Plains, and afterward compli-
mented him for his gallant conduct and
soldierly bearing.
The British expedition, consisting ct
1000 men, set cut to destroy the stores
and munitions of war collected at Dan
bury, Conn, reached that place Satur-
day, April 90, 1777.
The guard, too small for protection
and too weak for active resistance, with
drew. Preparations were Immediate
ly made to harass the enemy. A mes
senger was dispatched to Col Luding-
ton to summon him to aid in the de-
Tense.
The members of Col. Ludlngtons rec
iment were at their homes, which were
miles apart and scattered over wide
territory. To summon them was no
easy task. There was no one ready to
do it.
Sibbell, the young daughter of Col.
Ludington, q girl of 16, volunteered to
undertake the service. She mounted
her horse, equipped with a mans sad
die, and galloped off ON the road in the
dead Of night. The next morning by
breakfast time the regiment had taken
up the line of march and was In rapid
motion toward Danbury, twenty miles
distant,

WOMEN SELLING MEATS.

New York Has Butcher Shop
Which Is Said to BE Unique.
In a big uptown market in which
there are sold not only meats of all
kinds but vegetables and canned goods
and some other lines of groceries as
well there are employed as salespeo
pie In the butchers department a con-
siderable number Of young women, says
the New York Sun.
In this market all the fresh meats
are kept in showcases. The cutting
saving and chopping are done by man
butchers, but there are kept on hand
large quantities Of cut meats all ready
for delivery, which are sold by young
women.
There are long glass counter show
cases set parallel and with a sufficient
space between them for the saleswom-
en- to stand in. You walk along these
showcases and look down into them
and make your choice. In one section
of these showcases you would find long
lines Of turkeys and chickens, fowls OF
all sizes and weights. In another sec
tion you would find sirloin steaks, big
and little, fat and lean, thick and thin.
You can look down into the showcases
and pick out exactly the sort of steak
you want.
Same as to pot roasts; twenty or
thirty Of them here together, each tied
up ready for delivery, and you can see
and pick out exactly the one you want /;
and the same as to rib roasts. And
here, cut ready, are pork spareribs for
roasting, fat and lean and all trinity
arranged % that you can see them and
get just what you want; and In other
sections you find soup meat and SOUP
bones and chopped meats; in short. In
these counter showcases you will find
cut meats Of every description, so that
you cannot only select the piece that
you want but you know as you look at
1t its exact cost.
And all these cut meats are sold nv
the young women precisely as they
would sell laces or ribbons or gloves
You look along till you find Just what
you want and the saleswoman takes II
out of the showcase and wraps 1t up to
be handed over to you If you desire to
carry 1t home yourself or to be deliv-
cred by the markets wagons.
There are regularly employed In this
market, in the cut meat department
from thirty to thlrty-f1ve saleswomen.

ing supplied by the market. This mar,
ket has employed saleswomen In It's cut
meat department for three years.
There are other markets In the CITY
in which cut meats are displayed in
and sold from counter showcases but
this is probably the only one in the
city, or for that matter In the country
in which saleswomen are employed to
sell the meats.

"MEN OF YUKON"
$ANA~A~AA~~~~~N~~~~&Q&

At public dinner given to Secretary
he was asked what he regarded as the
most important act of his official life.
Mr.. Seward unhesitatingly replied,
1.-THE purchase Of Alaska; but it may
take two generations before the pur-
chase is appreciated" Secretary Sew
ard, declares a writer in the Metropoli-
tan Magazine, was wiser than his day
and generation, and 1t was not until
recent years that Alaska's vast wealth
and resources have been appreciated.
During the summer months the rivers
are fairly alive with steamboats, of all
sizes and descriptions. Polling boats
and rowboats also add to the activity.
The steamboats, vary in size from large
ones, the size Of the Mississippi river
steamboats,, to craft scarcely bigger
than the smaller motor-boats in use on
the Outside"
These boats, although there is yer.
large number of them, are kept busy
carrying in during the short open sea-
son, three months, sufficient amount
of provisions and other supplies to last
the country during the long winter.
They also carry large numbers Of pas
sengers to and from the different camps
in the valley and to the outside"
At the time of the purchase of Alas
ka the great valley of the Yukon was
peopled only by Indians, thousands in
number, who knew neither the source
nor the outlet Of the mighty river on
which they lived, yet, recognizing its
greatness. proudly called themselves
Men Of Yukon"
Now 1t is peopled by thousands OF
the strongest and healthlest of the citl-
zens OF the great American republic,
who, lured thither by the fabulous
riches of the country, have built them
selves homes, and, like their predeces-
sors, the Indians, are proud to call
themselves "Men of Yukon"
