Perhaps Mrs. Goddard and her bcauti-
ful daughter, Miss Hope Goddard, attract
ed more attention than any of the New
York swells. Miss Hope Goddard is a
real beauty. Besides, she Is accomplish
ed and charming. She rides to the
hounds with the daring Of Comanchc
Indian, and was first in at the paper chase
yesterday. Miss Hope Goddard is the
young lady whom it is said so delighted
Queen Victoria that she ordered her
grandson, Prince George, home from the
Bermudas to meet her
Captain Algeron Paget, Of the Royal ma
w, brother of LORD Alfred Paget, also
rode to the hounds in daring chase
across country yesterday. He is big
redfaccd English swell, but wonderful,
skillful and reckless rider. Captain Pa
get is the man who went up in balloon
two years ago and jumped out at height of
1000 feet. coming down gracefully and
safely in parachute. He did this to
eclipse the record of a professional athlete
and aeronaut who had jumped several
days previous at height OF 1900 feet
There is evidently nothing mean about
Captain Paget when it comes right down
to eclipsing records. And, by the way
Col. Lewis Clarke says he is the finest
cross country rider he ever saw.
Lady Julian PauncefOrt, wife Of the
British Minister, and her two tall English
looking daughters are here. They have
had very little to say to any body except
his nihs Count Won Batkine, Secretary Of
the Russion Legation, who has been con-
stantly with them. The Misses Paun-
cefort look to be nearly six feet tall, and
are tremendous walkers and riders, and all
that, you know, which is dreadfully En-
glish, don't you see.
That bowling and blase swell, Creighton
Webb, came out with the New York party.
Creighton is said to be so dreadfuty
wicked that MANY Of the pious New York
mammas have put him on the black list.
He has not been CARRYING things by storm
here, although lie evidently thought he
would. He told Louisville girl that "ev-
erybodv wanted to meet Creighton Webb. .
He was not devourcd by any OF the Louis
Vile contingent, however he is broth

Vanderbilt, and is the son OF Il once very
distinguished man, but he has not been

fact, and looks mmensein kn'ckerfo ,kers.

These New York swells, with one or~two
exceptions, of notably James Brown Pot
ter and George Perkins, gave the Louis
Vile contingent the cold sholder from the
very outset. They elevated thelr ROYAL
noses and stayed off to themselves with
i dazzling friyidity that even made the
ice Jealous. They also made some of the
Louisville people very tired. Some OF the
men wanted to meet the Louisville glrls

their own party to the Louisville men nor
TO the Louisville ladies when they could
HELM it. 1t looked like the rankest ana
commonest sort of snobery to many OF the
louisville people, and some OF them VIII
