the steamer Manchester from the time
Seventh street wharf is left, until it is
reached on the return from Indian Head
Not warm breeze. either. but delight
fully cool river breeze that is most re-
freshing after being in the hot city all day.
Those who have often taken the ride say
it is the acme of enjoyment to them, to lie
back in big easy chair on the Nacaiester
and let the breezes blow while they gaze at
the setting sun. and, as night fails to watch
the stars burst forth from their coverings
Of black. Tonight something more than
the stars are promised. The new moon
will show the greater part OF her silyery
face. which will make tonight's ride the
most enjoyable one Of the season.
Dancing at Marshall Hall is as popular as
ever, for it is never too warm to dance, In
the new pavilion, while Schroeder's Band
plays such splended music. Steamer Mac
alester leaves Seventh street wharf at $50

sABRAN VEST FRONTS.

NONG the dainty French novelties OF
n the season are Sabran vest-fronts OF
ead-wrought or spangied mousselaine
de sole, chiffon, and cream white net.
They are laid in folds s1ch as u Partisan
hand alone can arrange, and some have
pretty girdIe and yoke effect formed solely
by the manipulation of these folds and fine
pieatings. These vests are to be worn with
the bolero Jacket. which has taken another
lease OF life, and is the rage abroad, as
Cell as many other of the very short st yles
that are called variously the Mess, the
French Guard, the Eton, Zouave, and the
Russian shape with square instead Of
rounded fronts. The little Spanish model,
however, is the leading favorite, and with
it is worn a high ceiDture or girdle, that
fashion DEGREES shall be made of black
ribbon. But leaving this very popular ac-
ceSsory aside, the vest and the bolero are
especially charming for youthful wearers
over skirts of Pompadonr silk, fiowered
organdie. accordion -pleated crepe de chine,
shot and flowered taffeta, or grass linen
made up over silk that matches the lining
of the silk or velvet boiero in tint.

Mr.. Richard T. Wilson coptradicts the
rumor that the engagement Of his sister
to Mr.. Vanderbilt has been broken. He
has said, officially: 1T will probably
take place within two weeks. The doc
tors in attendance upon Mr. Vanderbilt
give him eight days in which TO recover
his health, and il he does recover there
is no reason why the wedding should not
take place two weeks hence"
This news has the sound Of autheO-
ITCHY. Young Mr.. Wilson ought to know
what he is talking about.
Dame Gossip added the spice of variety
TO the gossip surrounding this drama Of
human interest by declaring last evening
that Miss Wilson and Mr.. Vanderbilt had
been quietly united at the formers home.

SIZE WOULD GRACE
CAPITAL CITY SOCIETY
Mrs. Hobart a Handsome Woman
of Rare Charms.
Mr.. knut-Marriage of Miss
Miller and Mr. Troupe.

Mrs. Hobart, the wife of the Republican
candidate for the Vice Presidency, Is u
remarkably handsome woman, gracious
and accomplished, and possessing to a
brilliant extent the intellect that made
her father noted throughout New Jersey,
her native State.
Several hours before the nominations
were made she said.
1T Is pleasant to know that all Mr.
Hobart's friends expect the fOGOr to come
to him, but we cannot be sure Of anything
until after all the ballots are counted. -
Then she talked about her husband with
natural pride, and as she pointed out his
favorite chair in the spacious library, she
? said:
''This is the room where we all gather
In the evening Yes IL is his workrooiii,
but 1t is his wish that his family he with
him when he has business to transact at
home. There is very little OF this, though.
Mr. Hobart is q domestic man, aud he
throws off all his business cares when he
leaves the office. For SO busy man as
he al ways has been. ii is really remarkable
how readily he leaves outside affairs when
he comes in that door aud we are alone to-
gether."
in 1863 Mr. Hobart married Miss Jennie
Tuttle, the beautiful daughter OF his legal
mentor, Socrates Tuttle. She was mere
girl and be WIS but twenty-five years old.
There were two children, Fannie and Gar
rett A, Jr. Last June, when the family
was in Italy, Miss Fannie died, ut the age
OF twenty-five years. Her father fairly
idolized d her, and the blow was n severe
one. Mrs. Hobart is still in mourning. and
she cannot speak Of her daughter without
emotion. The boy is twelve years old now,
fine, manly little fellow, with a talent
for music and an intense interest in politics,
so far as his fathers success is concerned.
He plays the violin.
