England is the only European country which admits of more than one style of riding. But in all Europe, even in England, there is but one style of riding taught, as a system; that style is the manége or military style. The military style is, and must ever be essentially a one-handed style, for the soldier must have his right hand at liberty for his weapons.
Such was the success of his manège that he annexed masters to teach his pupils dancing, vaulting, and swordsmanship, as well as drawing and mathematics, till he had rounded out what was considered a complete education for a chevalier.
It involves so much labor and anxiety, its spasmodic splendors are so violently contrasted with the homeliness of every-day family-life, it is such a formidable matter to break in the raw subordinates to the manege of the cloak-room and the table, there is such a terrible uncertainty in the results of unfamiliar culinary operations, so many feuds are involved in drawing that fatal line which divides the invited from the uninvited fraction of the local universe, that, if the notes requested the pleasure of the guests' company on "this solemn occasion," they would pretty nearly express the true state of things.
Moreau had given rise to suspicion by his equivocal conduct to the directory before the 18th Fructidor, and by the sudden denunciation of his old friend Pichegru, whose treason he had kept secret for a whole year; Massena was not a political general; Bernadotte and Jourdan were devoted to the party of the Manege; Sieyes was compelled to postpone his scheme for want of a suitable agent.

They continued this sort of manège till they found themselves within two hundred and fifty paces of us, and then appeared inclined to take a little time for reflection. We kept ourselves perfectly still. The dragoons evidently did not like the aspect of matters. Our remaining concealed, and not replying to their fire, seemed to bother them.

The cavalcade consisted of eight mounted men, and a waggon with its full team of six tough mules. These last were under the manege of "Jake" a free negro, with a shining black face, a thick full mop, and a set of the best "ivories," which were almost always uncovered in a smile. Peeping from under the tilt of the waggon might be seen another face strongly contrasting with that of Jake.
The lady friend of the two little girls wrote about our work in the Queen of June 17, 1893, as follows: "I made the acquaintance of the authoress of The Horsewoman one morning in Ward's Manège, where I went to see two little friends taking their riding lesson from her. It was a novel and pretty sight. Mrs.
