WuAr is CONG ON IN SOCIETY.

Another sporting week, with still more to fol.
low, has been added to the social record, and tho
elements, as II to make compensation for tho
early part Of tho scason, contributed heat and
sunshine without stint. The Mcndowbrook Club
opened its autumn golf tournament on Thurs
day, aud Mr.. winthrop Rutherfurd won tho
gold medal on tho first afternoon. Since then
tho play has been fast and furious, bringing out
the best skill of all the crack men.
While golf has been going ON nj Meadowbrook,
the Myupin Club of BrookIino has detected tho
Southamptons in the concluding polo matches
at Prospect Park, thus making a second triumph
for the Boston team. the Mcadowbrooks, in snits
of their magnificent play, having been defeated
by the Myopias on the previous Monday.
Spectators of the polo games numbered thou-
sands. and yet tho Wostchcstcr Horse Show
was crowded with all tho horsc.loving element
from the Hudson TO the Sound. Among those who
drove out in tour.in.hands, which cleaned and
Clittcrcd in tho fierce sunlight. were Mr.. Thomas
Maitland on tho royal blue coach, with Mrs.
Prescott Lawrence on the box stat; MIR. c. Oil
yer Isclin. Mrs. lsclin. aud Mrs. Reginald Rives
on Mr.. lsclin's coach; Mr.. Whitclaw Reid, with
Miss Benedict; MIR. j. McDonough, who had Mr..
and Mrs. H. nry G. McNirkar as guests: Mr.. and
Mrs. Marion story, Mcssrs. Ralph n. Ellis,
Worthington Whitehousc. and innumerable
others in every variety of trap.
Besides the sporting events near homo, there
have been the conclusion OF the Lcnox tourna-
mont, the beautiful sloane trophy falling to ].
b. Bowers of Otscgo; an exciting ladies golf
match at Stoukbridgc, in which Miss Cora
Oliver came Off victorious; good heavy football
at New Haven and Ithaca; news flying over tho
cable that the Lorillard and Bercsford stables
have won at Newmarket, and horse shows
literally all along tho road from st. Louis
70 Boston.
The Morristown Horse Show will open on the
eth and continue three days. Another will DO
held in the village OF Gcncsco. in the pictur, squo
Gcnoscc Valley, where half the club consists of
New York men. all of whom will go on for the
steeplechascs at Big Tree Farm, which will be
ridden by members of the club and gentlemen
riders only. Cups will DO presented by Mr..
Herbert Wadswortn and other big landowners
in the Gcnesee Valley, and should the weather
be fine, the large New York contingent will have
very nearly the best among the many good
times OF their lives.
The Myopia Hunt Club of Boston has found
time among all its comings and goings, its de-
feats and successes, to attend the wedding of
Miss Alice Barnard and Mr.. Frank Seabury.
which took place on Thursday at Beverley
Farms. Mr.. Seobury is a member OF all tho
sporting clubs OF Boston and was at one time
master OF the Myopia hounds. Tho bride, who

Newport also has had a wedding during the
past wcek-the last proba bly, of the season.
Miss Louise Eldridge and Mr.. Morris Barnewell
were married at All Saints Chapel, the distin-
gushing feature OF tho OCCASION being the organ
and the sweet singing of the choir. Tho bride
wore Il veil OF lace so rich and rare that it was
pronounced by the cri les 10 be the most valu.
able one seen in Newport this summer.
Another wedding. interesting to everybody,
but taking place at q long distance from the
metropolis, was that of Miss Rachel Cameron,
daughter of former Senator Donald Cameron. to
Mr.. Chandler Hale. who has been recently APP
pointed Secretary of the American Embassy at
Rome. The ceremony. which was simple but
with picturesque surroundings, was performed
at Lochicl, the Cameron country seat, near Har-
rishurg. Pa-
Newport, the queen OF tho worlds watering
places. has gradually subsidized into a quiet viii
lage. with all its grand houses closed and barred,
and wi h only II pretty cottage here aud there
indicating that society still holds out an occa.
sional flag OF hospitality and good will. Miss
Leary has given the last OF her musical rccep-
tons and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney is ap-
preaching the end of the series that has been
going on at her house., Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Sloane are still at their cottage. and propose to

Allen and his daughters have gone to Lenox. and
will go from there to Tuxedo. where a cottage
has been taken for the autumn. Mr.. and Mira.
Stanley Mortimer have also gone to Tuxedo.
An exempliication Of the fate that "~reatens
all sorts and conditions of people in Newport
was shown tho other day in a few words that
passed between a lady apt to give candid ex-
preston to her feelings and n member of New
ports very smart set. "Tell me-" said the lady.

quite at the top notch OF fashionable society.
"Oh. no." replied the man, nobody thought OF
her enou h to talk about her. Tell me, then"
said the sott-voicei questioner. who is consid-
erCd in Newport worthy even to be traduccd
and royiled T.
The latest engagement announced has been
that OF Miss Laura Duane Ireland, daughter OF
Mr.. John Is. Ireland and granddaughter OF
Robert Duane Pel. to Mr.. Louis Junot. a native
of Switzerland, and for many years q resident of
this city.
Lcnox has been pursuing the even tenor OF its
way, having suffered considerable reaction
since tho violent eXcitements OF golf week.
Music is 10 be q leading fea urc OF teas and re.
Ceptions this autumn, and the star is to be Mrs.
B~ouligny Mott, who sings French, Spanish. and
Creole songs with as much spirit as Mrs. Penn
