half the gay world is on the other side OF the

| A certain set OF society women never fail n
| bring their newest gowns and their charminp
personnel to every equine display. They ar.
rive early and stay late. and are found in their
places afternoon and evening. Most OF them
are owners OF superb animals. who rank In
tho affections OF their mistressee only next Ia
their children. Among them are Mrs Proscott
Lawrence. Mrs. William Jay. Mrs Arthur
Randolph. and Mrs. William p. Donplaa
They are oil handsome. always we'll dressed.
and highly ornamental to any Assemblage In
which they may appear. They were faithful
in their attendance at tho athletic club
grounds. as were also Mrs. Nelson. Miss
Turnure. and Miss Hope Goddard. Many Of
tho ladies wore black. and. consequently.
there was nothing kaleidoscope in the ap.

they con secure clearer skies and better
track. there will be nothing lett to wish for.
Aside from the Horse Show. little has been
going on during the week. Tho last Clare.
mont tea shrank considerablyfrom the large
proportions Of tho previous Thursdays at.
tendance. and was somewhat gray and dull.
like the skies above. 1t clashed with tho Horse
Show and the show with 1t, as all the mon and
many Of their crack steeds were at tho athletic
grounds. and although the places were not
very far apart. It didn't occur to any one to
drive from one to the other.
The Hampstead and Cedarhurst people seem
at present to have q monopoly Of good times.
Although very dull season was predicted for
them this year on account Of the long illness
Of Mrs. Ladonbure. the removal OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Thomas Hitchcock. Jr.. and the absence
OF many Of the hunting contingent In Europe
and elsewhere. yet ever since the visit Of tho
Coaching Club to Mr.. Charles CAROLS, they

dinners. suppers. and Jolly meetinxa
