CH. XV PHILADELPHIA RIDING CLUB 379 



ances of two horses trained by Baucher, and ridden 

 by one of his pupils, Caroline Loyo, in the old 

 Walnut Street Circus. A riding-school in Sansom 

 Street above Eighth Street, long since torn down, 

 was the scene of the first applications of Baucher's 

 method, by several enthusiastic horsemen, Judge 

 Cadwalader, John D. Bleight, and others, and 

 out of those pleasant meetings for companionship 

 and discussion grew the The Philadelphia Riding 

 Club, the first, and for many years the only home 

 of that kind of equestrian practice in the United 

 States.
