The revived custom occurs every three years and this past weekend’s event perhaps helped those of us still suffering withdrawal from the conclusion of S3 of Gilded Age. Brought to town by the Coaching Club of New York, the marvelous exhibition of horse-drawn coaches were stabled at PSNC’s Chateau sur-Mer all weekend. Preservation Society revived the sport in 1968, making it an every-three-years tradition in keeping with the Gilded Age theme that has enlivened Newport. The Atlantic Ocean made the perfect backdrop for the spectacle of driving coaches as they traversed Ocean Drive on the last day. It’s another example of how Newport society continues to define and safeguard the Gilded Age.
