At little distance from Mr.. Morgan's

Mr.. Stanley Mortimer has built . charming

Park. apart from the inexpressible pleasure OF
backing the right horse. Is its spaciousness.
It's broad green stretches seem only to smile
at the thousands who pour into them and then
scatter and are almost lost sight OF in the
provision for their ommodation.
On the first day the club house was hardly
filled. although there were large parties from
Hampstead and West Chester. Mr. Pierre
Lorillard made his first appearance and saw
another outsider win the rich stakes, which
this year do not seem to fall to the swift nor
to the favorites In the great racing contests
There were the usual groups In the boxes.
and. as usual. the smartest women were from
Long Islands seagirt shore. Mrs Thomas
Hitchcock Jr.. was chic to a degree in the
