Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1894-05-27

Wheeling society will be marked by
more notable functions during the
heated term than ever before. Those
whose purses will permit it will go
abroad, for il has been given out, In that
contagious way in which matters
social spread, that this is TO be Euro
pean season. Last year everybody Wis
tied the Worlds Fair, many deferring
contemplated trips to the continent IN
I'll this season. The Wheeling colonies
at the different resorts will therefore,
in all probability De smaller than here
tofoFe.
The active interest in social life here,
in so far as at home affairs are concern
ed, is practically at an end. During
the past week the weather has been
cool, and there have been numerous In
door entertainments Of a delightful
nature. Boating and driving are
springing into popularity however, and
lawn parties will be ushered in with the
aext change in the weather.

The City Hospital races at the State
Fair Grounds Lext Thursday promise 10
form one Of the most attractive society
events Of the year. Good races never
fail TO prove a drawing card, and the
interest 10 increased when the horses
and their owners are all familiarity
known. Add TO this the flavor Of char
ity which is attached TO the speed con-
tests on Thursday, and enough has been
said TO explain why the affair should
and will be literally patronized. Wheel
ing last now has a number Of flyers, "
and the question Of superiority is one
which has given rise 70 a large amount
OF goOd-natured contention among own
ers OF good horses. Local lovers of
horsefesh will be out en- naSSe, and the
fair sex will be as numerOusly repre-
sented as on previous occasions Of this
nature.
The following gentlemen have enter
ed their horses for the races: Messrs.
II. w. Mcclure, c. y. Hancher, A. M.
Hamilton, A. s. List, A. A. Wheat,
VIM. Ellingham, Oswald Schneider,
Bernie Bser, Joseph Speidel, ii. l..
Wheat, NJ. Ma6iS and DR.. Fisher.

The commencement season is here,
and the usual number OF pretty young
ladies and promising young men will be
sent forth to battle with the cruel ana
merciless world, during the next few
weeks. The fair graduate OF to-day is
the debutant OF next season. She anti
cipates her future social cOnQuests as
she trips lightly out upon the stage and
pravely discusses the responsibilities OF
life. To be sure, other young ladies'
have said the same things, In much the
same sweet way, but 1t is her
personality which is interesting, and
the friends who pay more attention 10
the lovely gown than 10 what she Is
saving, unanimously declare that she
,Tnst did splendidly." IL Is one OF the
Droudest moments in the life OF a young
lady or gentleman, and it IS perhaps
fortunate that they are bliSstuily lgn0-
rant of the dark side Of the great big
world about them. The commencement
Is a happy institution, and every pers0a
feels better for having attended.
