WHEN MEXICO RIDES

Two Foot Axletrees

The Mexican carriages are alto- gether unique and grotesque. The distance between the two axletrees. is generally twelve feet; they have. high cross-hars both behind und be- fore, to which are attached the leather traces upon which the car- riage swings. The enormous size of these carriages is made the more striking from the fact that they are. drawn by two small mules, with a postillion mounted on one of them. One part of the harness was new" to me, which was a leathern bag for the mule's tail. This bag is also used when they ride on horseback.

The dress of the "gentlemen when they ride on the Paseo is gaudy in the extreme: nothing is regarded more vulgar than to be seen on horseback in "a dress coat or any other than & roundabout. These are richly embroidered with silk wr with gold and silver lace, and co- vered all over with buttons. Their cherivalles are equally fias, and generally open from the knee down. The dress of the horse is even more dashing and infinitely more costly. One thousand dollars is by no means an unusual price for a sad. dle. I have seen in a saddler's shop at one time half a dozen sad- dles at prices ranging from five hundred to a thousand dollars. One gentleman in the city has a saddle, the oast of which exceeded five thousand dollars. The scene ex- hibited every evening on the Pase is altogether picturesque. Three or four thousand persons with gay" equipages and rich dresses pass and salute each other on the broad road. bordered with bandsome trees, two beautiful "jets d'eau," with Chapultepec on once side and the snowcovered mountains of Po- pocatepet! and Iztaceihuatl on the other; while on all siden far around extend the wide plains of the valley.
