The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1895-06-23

LONDON, June 22.-This has been the
gayess week of the season, mainly due
to the Ascot race meeting and balls
given by the Marchioness Of Salisbury
and others. Socially. the Ascot meet
ing just ended has been the best on
record. On Tuesday and Thursday, the
two principal days, the weather WAS
bright and pleasant.
White was the color which predomi-
mated in the fashionable throng. White
hats OF enormous size, covered with
long-stemmed shaking flowers, made
the royal enclosure resemble flower
garden.
All the smartest men with regulations
as dresserB TO uphold wore black frock
coats with silk hats and small bow ties
The Prince of Wales on Thursday
shocked the leaders OF fashion by ap-
pearipg in o white stovepipe hat, and
he evidently persuaded Earl Cardigan,
who was included in the Prince of
Wales house party, to follow his ex-
ample. There is much speculation as
to whether the Prince of Wales lead
will have any effect on the fashions,
but IL Is not likely.
In spite of the many entries, no
American horse appeared at Ascot. Mr..
Richard Croker, Of New York, took o
house ct Ascot for the week and did
things in style. He Was most correctly
dressed in long frock coat, dark
striped trousers, patent feathers and a
dazzling silk hat. Mrs. Croker, who
accompanied him, looked handsome,
and was one of the best dressed ladies
there.

sensation by his comments on EDglish
persons in society. The Shszada is not
at all impressed by the beauty of the
English women. He says the young
ones are altogether too thin, while those
|. who conform more to his idea of plump.
ness are too old for his liking. The
Shszada, as frequently noted, does not
at all approve of the English fashion of
decolette dressing 1t is said that when
he was first made acquainted with the
English full ball dress at the palace he
! was 80 alarmed that he wished to re-
tire.
The Prince of Wales Persim non,
| who did so we'll at Ascot, is pronounced
| to be the best colt of the season and q
likely derby winner. He is entered for
the derby Of 1896, in which Mr.. Richard
Croker, Mr.. Foxhall Keene and Mr.
| August Belmont and other Americans
have entries Messrs. Croker and d wyer
| seemed to be discouraged with their
| experiences here. They say they do
not know when they will race again.
The true story of the determine
| ton" OF the duke. OF Cambridge to re-
sign his post of commander-in-c chief OF
the British army announced in the
House Of Com mons yesterday by the
secretary of war. throws new light
upon the subject. There has long been
strong agitation against the duke.
| and the auth critics It appears. caused 1t
to be known that 1t would materially
assist the government If the duke OF
Cambridge would offer to resign.
Consequently not suspecting that his
offer would be accepted he sent in his
papers to the queen and the latter
handed them to the government under
the impression that they would be re-
turned. The government, however, ac-
| cepted the papers as definite resigna-
ton and Mr.. Campbell Bannerman made
the announcement to the house. which
was the last speech expected by the
queen.

Lyston willing to Come Hsre-Results

The game between Roanoke and
PORTSMOUTH at the latter city was pre-
vented by rain yesterday afternoon.
The home team play Norfolk the Hrst
three days of this week and then return
to Portsmouth for series Of three
more games. In the present demoralize ed
condition OF the Roanoke club 1t Is hard
to prophesy how many games they will
win In these two series, but the chances
are that before next Saturday night
they will be back in last place. AS far
as could be ascertained yesterday no
arrangements have yet been made to
secure manager. Judge A. E. KING ia

will probably return to Roanoke TO-.
morrow.
There Is no doubt that when he ar
rtyas steps will at once be taken towards
signing this important functionary.
With good manager, one who can and
will make the men work, there ia no
reason why the home team should not
win majority Of the games they have
yet to play. No one disputes the fact
that individually Roanoke has strong
aggregation of ball players and there is
no reason why they should not be made
to work together.
Padden and Lloyd will leave this st-
ternoon for Norfolk. Both men are
now In good condition and will certainly
strengthen the team.
John Lyston, the pitcher whom Ro.n-
oke had engaged, but who, at the last
moment, declined to come to this city
because the management refused to
send him advance money, has recon-
sidered his action and written that he
will report for duty as soon as ticket
is sent him. Re returned the former
