NEW YORK. November %.
Miss Moss wedding was somewhat shoddy,
but very exciting Over 5000 people were
crowded into st. Patrck's cathedral and 1000
more were stationed outside. Only 5000 invi-
tatiOns were issued. but the affair was so we'll
written up before hand and the contracting
parties SO well known, that an army of sight
seers attended the event. Miss Moss has re-
Gently become convert to the church, and, as
the fact was we'll known to all the parishioners
of st. Patrck's cathedral, every one connected
with the church, even in the smallest degree
made it a point to attend. Maurice B. Flynn,
who married Miss Moss, is politician Of rather
ordinary standing, but well known man about
town and gOod-hearted and generous liver.
He is a member of the New York and the Man.
haitian clubs; is bosom friend of Hubert
Thompson's and has represented his district in
the assembly twice. ALI his club friends and
many politicians attended his marriage and the
reception given afterwards at Mrs. Moss house.
Mrs. Moss was in her glory. He. daughters are
marrying very well, and it is almost entirely
due to her tact in managing them. Her oldest
daughter married Lester Waack's favorite
son, and another is engaged to young Hayes
son of the President of the Fifth National bank.
The girls have been in society good deal and
are very popular Though Mr.. Moss is man.
ager OF Wallack's theater, his family have little
to do with actors and actresses aside from those
connected with the family by marriage.
EVACUATION DAY.
There is to be a tremendous crowd here on
Evacuation Day. Full $4,000 men will be In line
and the parade of steamboats, is expected to be
six or eight miles long. Preparations are max
ing for the reception OF several hundred thou
sand guests. The few vacant hotel rooms have
already been telegraphed for; boarding-houses
have left their addresses at hotel counters so
that late Corners may be supplied and medals,
banners and mementOes OF all sorts are being
Turned out in great quantities Many of the
larger dry goods shops along Broadway have
sold the privileges of their windows for sums
varying from SIS to $50 and all sorts of grand
stands, including trucks with seats arranged in
form Of pyramids, are building. OF course there
must be some stupidity in an affair of such mag
ntude as the Evacuation Day celebration. The
committee has made mistake, and they find at
this late day that it Is impossible for them to
rectify it. 1t will be almost impossible for the
majority Of sight-seers to- witness both the
steamboat and street parades. Both start at 9
vertised to start at that time, but the chances
are that the street parade will be delayed an
hour or two on account Of the vast bodies of
men the committee will be obliged to handle
Big parades In New York are almost always late.
and these will probably be no exception to the
rule. On the other hand, the steamboat process
sion will start promptly. as it will be necessary
to catch the tide on the ebb. If an observer
takes up position on one of the piers on the
North river anywhere below Canal street before

watch the steamboat parade for an hour, and
then by rushing over to Broadway be In time to
catch the street procession as it comes down
from up town. 1t will take the head of the pro-
cessiOn an hour to get down to Canal street,
even if it starts in time, which. as say is i'm
probable. and there will be still time for ener-
getic and vigorous sight-seers to take in the
whole show.
On the night Of Evacuation Day dinners will
be given by the Knickerbocker. the Manhattan
and the st. Nicholas clubs and the St. Nicholas
Society, and by number of gentlemen who
describe themselves as the ''MOst Prominent
Descendants of New Workers who Resided Here
in 1888" Everybody anticipates jolly sort Of
holiday on Monday except the AnglO-maniacs,
who are just at this moment In a decidedly
unenviable position. Nobody cares for dudes
or Anglo-maniacs now. The spirit Of 'S3 has
taken possession OF us, and We thirst again for
British gore.
THE WONDERFUL DIoRAMIc corER1E
] suppose nobody will be surprised to hear
that the "Wonderland Dioramic Coterfe' is on
deck. Everybody knew that it would show up
at the proper moment; the only question was
what name it would assume. There is an
originality about this name which will attract
the popular eye. The "Coterie" gives an accu-
rate. natural and lifelike picture of Henry VII
lard's Yellowstone excursion. including living
representatives OF the dukes earls and noble
they w ny,fo
the Northern Pacific to drive the last spike.
The "COterie" will give melO-drama to be
called the "FlOwer Of the Yellowstone" The
hero is the Earl of Ingleside, and his wife, who
Ia known as 'the Countess Lady Edith Brans-
comb" The 'aughty earl falls in love with q
beautiful Indian maiden on the plains and puts
up job with some red Indians to murder ''the
Lady Countess. " his wife, in order that he may
marry the Piute squaw. 1t is thrilling and
exciting drama, but am happy to say that it
turns out all right in the end. The sCoterle"
will be IN Washington In about month.
ROSCOE CONKL1NG JOINS CLUB.
There has been quite splurge in the member
ship of the New York and Manhattan cubs Ros-
cOe COnkling has just joined the New York and a
number Of new members have been taken into the
Manhattan. These clubs are largely political. and
the increased membership has much to do with
the sudden craze among wealthy and well con-
nected men to enter politics. The Manhattan
club is the stronghold of New York democracy.
1t Is rather far down town now, but ten years
ago 1t was considered too far up town. It has
q cOmmOdiOus club house at 18th street and 5th
avenue, and has q cuisine which is not sur
passed by any other club In New York. Many
men who belong to the Manhattan are also
members Of the Union and Union League clubs
but they always dine at the Manhattan Per-
