Once Favored Gebhardt.
NV York. August 20sh.-The return of
Mrs. LaDgtry To her city residence has
again drawn attention TO the latest chapter
in the sentimental summer serial story of
Mrs Langtry, that Frederick Geohardt has
rival in the person Of Porter Ashe the
rich California turfman.
Such is reported to be fact by those
most familiar with the STANCE Langtry-
Gebhardt household at Long Branch, and
all appearances are corToborative, as he is
a somewhat famous sporting man, with
any amount Of money with which to seek
pleasure. Mrs. Langtry made his acquaint-
ance in San Francisco, and has renewed it
in the Warmest sort Of fashion at the At
lantic seashore. he brought his race horses
across the continent and has run them at
Sheepshesd Bay and Monmouth Park.
Early in the season he presented to Mrs
Langtry handsome silver trophy won by
one Of his horses. An elaborate dinner in
| his honor ensued at Mrs. Langtry's resi-
dence in West Twenty-third street.
Then she and Gebhardt rented a hand
some villa for the summer at Long Branch
and about the same time he took quarters
at the West End Hotel, were Mrs Langtry
| spends great deal of her time.
The immediate LaDgtry cote,ie has since
consisted of Baron and Baroness Blanc, a
noble, handsome and snowy pair; Mrs. NAL
| Ion, an intimate friend of the Lily, and sew
eral such veteran FOUNDERS - as T. Henry
| French, Albert Claggett, Cunning S. Bed
| ford, Jack Hurley and Berry Wall.
Porter Ashe soon became favorite
above all the rest They were hail fellows
well met with her, while he got special at
! tention in public and was an almost daily
visitor at the Villa.
For while Ashe and Gebhardt seemed
like cronies, for they and Mrs. Langtry
made q trio atthe race-course, on the drive,
in surf and at the hotel, but the fact is now
| well nigh undenisble that the Lily is vacil-
lsting from Freddie to Porter.
Stories of quarrels in the triumvirate are
current, and while some of them are really
exaggerations, others have the ear marks
of reliable history. He is hardly as hand
some as Gebhardt, although somewhat
| more stalwsrt and decidedly of more agree
able and genial manners. He goes walk
ing and driving alone with Mrs. Langtry
and takes her to quiet dinners at Pleasure
