The Past Weeks Events.
 The week has been quiet one socially, and altogether in keeping gwith the ob- servance of Holy Week But for the meet Ing of the Educational association con- vention, which brought a number of charming people to the city, and two or three very quiet entertainments in honor of Post-Lenten brides, things would have been dull indeed.
 The opening of the new Riding School Monday evening attracted wide interest Socially The building used for the acad- emy is spacious and provides seats for more than a thousand. While 1t was not filled entirely the audience was large and most representative. Birmingham society is becoming intensely interested in horseback riding and the horse show to be given in May will no doubt be one of the important events of the season.
 The exhibition was participated in by about 30 of Birmingham horse lovers, which seems an suspicious beginning for the new school. The horses shown were beautiful-most of them, indeed, the prop erty of the school, but many of them owned by private individuals. Among them were the two beautiful blacks, 'Dixie' and "Trixie" owned by MT. Camp; Mrs. Ledbetter's splendid Captain Jack" ridden by Dr. Ledbetter, and Ala DdDld OIlneS, IDe SupeTD ASn SCHOOL horse, which has become well known Throughout the south since he has been exhibited at the various horse shows. He was ridden by rfPollard, who was also mounted on him in the Terminal parade Tuesday MT. W. c. Agees horse, Ma jor McEwen," was another beauty shown Monday evening MT. Agee, who is as in the parade Tuesday Mir. Carl Wit tichen drove his own horse, and Miss Mary Kirkpatrick rode hers. A pretty feature of the occasion was the party of children riding their own ponies. A num- Der of other capable horsemen and horse women contributed toward the success of the occasion and thus paved the way for like affairs to take place later.
 Among the quiet events of the week was the dinner given by MT. and Mrs R. M. Jenkins in compliment to Miss Lalla Rookh Harris and MT. w. T. Hill whose wedding will be celebrated this week. An afternoon party was given by Mrs. Felix Blackburn, who entertained about 20 guests at bridge in honor of Miss Harris. Miss Grace Hardie gave a most artistic o'clock tea to which she Invited the bridesmaids who are to at tend Miss Nellie Gregg at her wedding Wednesday evening, and Mrs. Oates also gave luncheon to which the same guests were bidden.

In the center glis- tened a large cut glass bowl filled with le0CIdHlTeSS CdTndIlOHS, ana as q pretty reference to the Easter season at each plate was a tiny basket of bon-bons in the form of pink eggs.
