to proclaim, but that it was a fine one in Its
way was quite as undeniable fact, and
repetition OF it at some time in the near
future is likely to meet with even greater sue
cess than was the case last week Among
those who went over for the show as repre-
sentatiyes of Washington society were num-
Der OF gentlemen Jockeys" whose names
are quite familiar to the fashionable world as
dancing partners at the leading entertain
ments during the height of the season.
For the present week society will be quite
well represented at the New York horse show,
as a number Of those we'll known in Washing
ton will go over to Gotham for the great
event, having in several cases been Invited TO
make up the box parties to be given by the
New York women. The sporting world OF
Meadowbrook has been almost transported
bodily TO New York for the time being, and
those who have been following the hare and
hounds over the Long Island courses have left
that exciting sport for an attendance upon
the New York horse show. Tho Coaching
Club will also be numerously in evidence at
the show at the garden. There will be, how
ever some very prominent men and women
absent on account OF tarrYing in foreign
lands and out -ot-the-way places in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Centre Hitchcock will not be present
for the reason that he is at present enjoying
duck shooting at Currituck, where he Is
billed TO remain a month. Mr. and Mrs.
Stanley Mortimer will spend the season in hot
pursuit of the Leicestershire hounds, as they
have taken a shooting box in England for the
winter, and consequently will have no part in
gay doings on this side of the water. Mr..
Robert Hargous is in Venice. allowing his
wealth to have serious inroads made upon 1t
by the gondoliers of that waterY city's high
ways and byways.
So far as concerns the present aspect Of af-
fairs at LenoX and other fashionable resorts
of like ilk favored of New Workers there has
been decided slump in their stock during
the past fortnight and they are now about as
deserted as in midwinter. There Will be a
brief and very limited revival of gaities and
show OF fashionable life at LenoX during the
I Thanksgiving time, as number OF cottagers
will return there with large house parties In
time TO have the fatted calf together with the
historic turkey killed for Thanksgiving and
| served with the proper accessories of pumpkin
pies and plum pudding.
During the present autumn it has been so
much the proper thing for society 10 spend the
major portion OF the time at the golf links in
active participation in that imported sport,
| that not 10 have current idea at least OF the

| games of golf have been followed by O'clock
teas and large dinner parties At present the
game has not taken a very strong or per-
ceptible hold upon Washington society, but as
in all things fashionable it is distinctly imita-
tive. and it will not be long before perfect
| epidemic of golf will strike at the very vitals
! OF Washington society and every one Will be
going in for it with all the zest and ardor that
| characterized the tennis fever at its height.
! There are one or two golf links in Wash
| ington at the present time. but they
! cannot be said to belong to the ultra fashion,
able and until this is the case golf will remain
| in the background. However as outside the
! city at the Country Club and other places
| owned by members OF the wealthy contingent
| of society there are excellent facilities for the
| establishment of golf links, it will hardly be
! longer than next spring at most before the
/ Scotch game will be in full swing and at the
! top of the notch of fashionable favor at the
! National Capital Generally speaking Wash
/ ington is about season OI TWO behind New
/ York and Newport in the adoption of the
various fads of the hour, and in this matter of
golf it is hardly likely to prove brilliant ex-
ception.
! The Secretary of War is making arrange
/ ments 10 have his mother move TO Washing
/ ton, as since her health has somewhat i'm
! proved, her great desire is to be taken TO this
4 city and established for the winter at the
/ home of her son, where she can have about
! her the three grandchildren OF whom she is
/ so fond. If the physicians determine that the
! long journey can be taken at this season of
! the year by the invalid without danger it will
! be accomplished as soon as possible. For
! the greater portion of the way the Journey
/ will be over the Pennsylvania road, where

as comfortable and luxurious as possible for
