ROYAL EXERCISES.
The Empress of Austria, even putting aside the fact that she is a grandmother, is a most mar?ellous woman, and has recently been through a more than usually severe course of training for > the hunting season, which, by-the-by, she .will, in all probability, spend in Hungary. During the time that. Her Majesty was at her summer residence at' Ischl, in Upper Austria, she generally rose at Bix o'clock in the morning, and devoted' a couple of hours to gymnastics and fencing, after which the morning tub and a plain but hearty breakfast were supplemented by a walk or a ride, which lasted some hours. Lately the Empress has actually been running for two hours a 'day, and, to encourage her in the exertion, a pack of beautiful' foot-beagles has recently been sent to. Godolo, which Her ,Majesty intends hunting herself. The'walking costume in wet or cold weather is a long waterproof Newmarket coat, brown straw hat, thick navvy boots; in hot weather the long coat is changed for a hunting slip of thin, stuff. At Godolo the Empress has a circus in which she trains her own horses, and rides them q fa Renz.
