WOMEN RIDERS.
Speaking of women, riders and the comparative advantages of riding a side-sad-dle or a cross-saddle, a writer in. the New York "Sun" says that the_ crosssaddle is gaining favour very Tapidly in America, as not only Eafor for the rider
but easier for the horse. However, she cites a woman teacher of riding who finds that the old-fashioned side-sautllo is not only nioro graceful but actually easier to stick to than the cross-saddle. .She says: "Tlio trouble with that girl is sho doesn't know when to rise' in the saddle. You know that a horse in trottiny tin-own the right fore foot and tlio left hind foot almost simultaneously and then the left fore foot and the right hind foot. In posting (which is the name used for the motion of the rider 011 a trotting horse) a woman should rise with tho throw of the right fore foot and left hind foot. If she rises with the other pair she is twisted into the wriggle of which you seo such an example in the arena there. It is disfiguring, but you can't blamo the side-saddle."
