that young FaXhsll keene had the fail that
Knocked cut half his teeth and so nearly
ended his riding this last winter. The
Brlces are counted upon as sure to wake up
tue long quiet Of the COrcOTan mansion and
its large bfick-walled garden Just made for
garden n2Tties, and regardless of the out
come OF the political contest, which may so
change the whole atmosphere of Washing
ton, one hears much Of the gayeties so far in
the future. The BTicPs will meanti me OC-
cupY cottage at Newport and form a con-
Meeting link between that social capital and
this winter mecca.
A SILVER KING.
A promise full OF picturesque possibilities
is that Mr. de la Mar, tue Idaho silver mil
e. liOuaire, has leased Mrs Augustus Tyler's
splendid new house on Farrsgut square,
and will make this next Inauguration win
ter memorable. Mr.. de la Mar has been
commonly known here as Monte CTistO.
Having made great fortune in mines anu
ranches and Western enterprises. he came
to Washington this winter TO see society
and choose wife, as he naiyely announced
Mr. Russell Harrison had knOws him in
Montana, and introduced him here. 1t goes
without saying that the lonely young mill
lionRlTe was taken up with enthusiasm
Women, old, young and middle-aged, pre-
ciDitated themselves upon him. but the
wild Westerner had been q fayorite of for
tune too long to have his head turned, and
he took all the fattery aud Rdulation at
its value, aud persisted in regarding
all the world as a stage, and watched
the play Of these women, just as be watched
Patti from the four boxes that he took for
a little theateT party one night. He gave
the most gorgeous dinners and alter-tbeater
supperS. lie sent such flowers aud bon
bOns as the Washington girls had never re-
ceiyed before, and he drove tandem carts
aud drags that made the air OF eiub-hOuses
green with enYiouS glGnces Then he leased
tie Tyler house one morning and took q
notion to 90 10 Europe the same afternoon.
And he sailed away within twenty
hours without relieving any ones mind as to
whether bis matrimonial quest was salts
factOrily ended. And now tea-tables are
all agog as TO what a bachelor wants with
such big house aud who viii preside over
his enter talnments next season. Faith, Mr.
de la Mar means TO entertain society in
many ways. and the startling plunges and
sudden freaks of this eligible CrWsus keep
a large army OF eligible young women Oh
the rack.

The Carriage. Club had fine parade in the
park This week, and with an IDEAL Mayday

ment Park was lusty young rival TO Hyde
