Coaching Club.
New York, May 26.—The event of the day on the avenues and Central Park was the parade of the Coaching Club. The parade was formed on the east side of Madison Square, and moved into and up Fifth avenue to Central Park. In the Park a long drive was taken, and the coaches returned down Fifth avenue to Washington Square and thence drove up town again to the Hotel Brunswick. Here the club gave a dinner, to which sixty five persons sat down, and in the evening there was a jovial dance. Col. Wm. Jay drove a team of three bays and a chestnut. J. P. Douglass tooled a cross team of grays and bays. Fairman Rogers tooled four strapping high bays. Colonel Kane, the Westchester coach man, had out a fine team of grays and bays. The other amateur whips were Fred. Wilson, Augustus Whiting, Perry Belmont, Francis R. Rives, Fred. Bronson, Theodore A. Havemeyer and Hugo O. Fritsch. Each coach carried two or three ladies, most elaborately arrayed in spring style, beside a number of gentlemen. There were no inside passengers, and hence the rain which threatened twice during the parade, was not looked forward to with any degree of pleasure. Fortunately it fell very lightly and for only a short time. There were only two mishaps. Mr. Fritsch's nigh leader fell at Twenty-eighth street, and Colonel Kane's off leader followed suit at Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue, at nearly the same spot where James Gordon Bennett upset his coach, on the same day and at the same hour last year, but the circumstances were different.
