THE GOSSIP OF GOTHAM.
New York Society Has Been Daft
 Over Golf.
The Luck of a Poor Young Man Who Learned to Piay-The Future of Willard Rapid Transit
 Coming Fast.

New York.-I met a wise old club man the other day who told me of the latest plan by which a young man may quickly and easily get into society. It is by way of the golf links.
 T never saw anything like it. he said. Society seems to be so tremen- dously gone on the Scotch game that it is ready to take to its bosom who ever is clever enough to travel the golf links route. 1 don't mean to say that a young man could immediately put himself in visiting relations with the Astors and Xanderbilts. playing golf; but, judging from what have seen and heard, conclude that the golf stick is just now more nearly an 'open sesame to soeiety's door than anything else an outsider can possibly avail him self of. Even money in plenty won't put q young man through half as quick; and show you that I am right about this. let me relate how young EukliyHn has just been accepted in certain inner circles. though possess ing neither money nor connections with any well-knoun family.
 This young man is studying art or science of some sort. He lodges quietly here in town, and has a chance ae- quaintance with rich young amateur, who one day said to him:
 "'9ou look tied; you have been studying too hard, Lukkivan Better come out and take some exercise on our golf links in Jersey.
 Now, Gulzlivun couldn't play golf, but be hoped he could learn. So he ne- eepted the suggestion of his friend who made all necessary arrangements

the withering look Matilda bestowed upon her spouse; it was so effective that t cut him short right in the mid de of a sentence.
 You don't know what you're talk ing about, John, she said, indignant ly. Why, the outfit that woman has on cost more than all my gowns for whole year. See how her gown fits! It was made by 'modiste, not an ordi- nary ,dressmaker;' and its material, which you seem to think cheap just because it's plain, cost mint of money. Why, John, if you ever get rich enough so l can dress like tbat-s
 But John begged her to quit. He couldn't see why she should be pro claiming to everyone in the vicinity tbat he had not yet found his "pile.a
 You mustn't infer from all this, how ever, that the boxes present q color less look when filled with a typical horse show crowd. No, iDdeedl There's plenty of color. and it is mainly fur nished by the faces of the women.
 But don't jump at he conclusion that the fine women in the boxes use much paint and powder. Here and there you Will see an exhibition of artificial tint ing, but it will be the exception and not the rule, for Society" with a big "S" frowns on rouge as severely as it does upon over-showiness in dress. But the excitement, the lights, the crowd, and perhaps the occasional bottle of fizz (not often, though, in public, among the real swells) all tend to heigbten the coloring of the faces and the sparkle of the eyes; and whose looks on the boxes at the horse show beholds really brilliant spectacle.
 There is likely, however, to be rather more color in the ladies hats and gowns this year than usual; for you must have noticed, even if you are mere man, that brilliancy of tint is feature of fashion this year.
 Perhaps the greatest surprise of all, if you are an observing person and were to visit the show. would lie in the fact that the inmates of the boxes recognize so frankly the fact that they, and not the horses, are really the at traction. A great feature on every big day of the eXhibition-and all the last four days are big days, if Wednesday turns out well-is the endless prone nading around the garden of those not in the boxes. And as they promenade they comment on the human show with all the freedom that would be em- ployed if the objects of observation were so many lay figures, dressed up and animated by elocl1work, instead of being living men and women like the rest of us. A couple was passing the box occupied by certain of the "Astor- bilts" last year.
 And the horses? But it is too soon to tell about them now, and few who will 20 to the show care rap about them anyhow.

sweets come first, then the coffee and that the water is to wind up with.
 As to clothes, this hitherto discreet young person must have been Bozing about in other peoples closets, for she has told us what to do with the bustle5 that began to take up so much room in shop windows. Her recipe is simple: let them alone. The Hempstead way. she informs us with irritating superior ity. is to have yeuf afessmaker cover two minufa Hols af sfifIeHinp with stuff to match 4oU}. dress and fasten them where they will do the most good, OF the Waistband
 Another piece of her newly acquired knowledge concerns the Russian blouse. which just at present snartpeople. like other people. have to wear. Tabitha says that the smartest people wear it as the Russian mouiills wear it; their blouse is the blouse as it was in the beginning, before it was launched on it's much copied career. Tabitba is get ting blouse of which she approves ready for the horse show, and it ap- pears to me that this Atavistic blouse of hers, which boasts that it reverts to it's forefathers, differs from other blouses, chiefly in one most unbecom- ing particular; the bodice has long skirts that stop at the level of the knees. An overdress or wrap of this three-quarters length suits scarcely anybody. But in questions of smart ness, this is a minor consideration.

 Tabitha comments black velvet New market coats that reach the heels. They were fashionable in 1880 and Ia bitha eonfesses that the lapse of 1T years has not made them less awkward and trying. The Newmarket is well to the front among models, but there are others, fortunately.
 The subject on which this valuable girl spends most eloquence is that of sashes and scarves. The proper way to tie a bow has become, it seems, of even graver importance than formerly. Some bows assume to themselves so Vueh consequence that they monop-

The library is magnificent apartment, but if lacks the homeike qualities of the two rooms mentioned.
 Willard, whose name is supposed to have been Hileard when he left the fatherland. poor boy. to seek his for tune in America. was once far more ambitious socially than now. That was when he was in the heydey of his suc- cess with the Northern Pacific railroads; and it was to further his social ambi- tions, of course, that he built the Italian palace.
 He had political ambitions, too. in those days, but they were all com ueeted with the republican party, with which organization he affiliated him- self as soon as possible, after coming to America. These ambitions were ap- parently scattered to the winds when the first disaster in Northern PaeifiG came, only to be famed into flame again by the partial rehabilitation of the Willard fortunes early in the '90's.
 Mr. Willard married daughter of William Lloyd Garrison, but the later Willard political aspirations were based on the hope of recognition from Mr- Cleveland when he was president. In fact, Willard is said to have requested point blank that he be sent to the Ger man court as representative, but in tain.
 Il may be that he still hopes for q, political future. If he does, it must be Chat he hopes to win through the agency of the paper. At all events, Harold Willard is now manager of the sheet, with power over the editorial de-

 Rapid Transit Coming Fast.
 It is quite in order always, to abuse the transit facilities of New York. be- cause they really might be made much better. But even as they stand, they are better than those of any other city as bi@ us this, when you consider the distances to be covered and the shape of the island And great improvements are now going on. Until the opening Of the Fourth avenue underground con- duit trolley, few days ago, Manhattan island has been practically without trolleYs, ordinances having been passed years .ago prohibiting the overhead wire. Before the first of the year. how ever, q lot of trolley cars will be run- ming, and without overhead wires. Itia expected that 300 or 400 cars will be operated within week or two, and it is declared that the method of propnl- sion will be found quite as good as the famous system in operation at Buda- Pesth, Hungary.
 Now that the city election is passed, and the statement cannot be consid- cred in any sense a boast for anyone, it may be said that the work of put ting in the conduit and rebuilding the Fourth avenue line was the quickest job of it's kind on record. All the new East Side underground conduit trolley lines, in fact, were laid down in 19 days.
 It doesn't seem to be generally un- derstood by New Workers, but the up- town power house for the new trolleys, to be located between East Ninety-ffth and East Ninety-sixth streets, near the East river, will be the largest in the world. Eight thousand piles have been driven to make it's foundation; it will contain nearly 90 boilers of 800 maxi mum horsepower each, and II big yerti- cal engines of 5000 horsepower each.

NEW YoRK's HORSE SHOW. What Will Make It a Success
 Financially.
If the sweIIs VIII Patronize If inc Promoters Will Declare Div tdend-A Show of Clothes
 and People.
-rCopvright. 1sa71

Did you ever read Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus?" And did you ever attend the New York horse show?
 If you have done both. you know that "Sartor Resartus" is book about clothes, ostensibly, but really about nearly everything else that the mind of man can think of You know. too that while the horse show is gotten uD ostensibly for the exhibition of equine beauties, its success depends more upon the sort of clothes worn by the vIs- itors than upon anything else. And perhaps you will agree. with the writer that while Sartor Resartus is a great work, as ii stands, it would have been greater still, had it's distinguished au- thor lived in these times and been able to attend the New York horse show one year. For he delighted in studying hn- %nan nature more than anything else. and there is no place in the world where human nature displays itself .n greater or more instructive variety than there.
 It won't be possible to say whether the horse show of 1897, which vii Be opened at the Madison Square Garden on Monday of next week, will be sue cess until about Wednesday. Fer < won't be known to certainty t5I then whether the real swells of New YoHs
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-11-07

and other great cities of this republic will conclude to honor it by their pres enee or not. If they do, the Horse Show association will declare fat dividend after the exhibition is over; if otherwise, no dividend need be eX- pected.
 Not that there are enough of these ,swells to fill the garden, or to make a paying attendance by themselyesi far from it. But if these attend the show. then all the world and his wife will go, too-tbat is. all in the vicinity of New York, who have money enough to pay their way in and dress well enough not to be ashamed in the elegant sar'torial company assembled there. Unless this years exhibition differs radically from those of recent years, this is how it will go:
 On Monday the attendance will be rather slim and decidedly "common." Most of those present will be men and women who work for a living at least part of the time. There will be d sprinkling of genuine lovers of horse flesh; and the horses themselves, which are sure to be really fine lot of ani- mals, will absorb good deal of atten- ton.
 On Tuesday the crowd will be larger and not so common" There wilL however, be many women in the throng dressed out in decidedly audible attire; they will walk about lot, and talk almost as loudly as they dress. Many of the men will carry faces that show unmistakable signs of much drinking of rich wines and much feeding on table delieacies These men will most of them raise their hats ostentatiously and with great formality when they meet the showy women.
 On Tuesday, too, there will probably be a sprinlling of persons of a higher social grade, but all that day the horse show managers will keep busy guess ing about the attendance on Wednes- day. Its character will mean some thing to them; and some of the more sportive among them, as well as many rank outsiders, will be offering to lay bets thereon.
 In the meantime the swells whose at tendance is so much desired will have been debating in their minds and with their fellows as to the adYisabiIity of going on exhibition along with the horses this year as usual If the de eision be favorable thereto-as it prob ably will be, for it always has been then Wednesday will be spoken of as "a real old-fashioned horse show day
 Then it will be worth while to go to the horse show to see the folk about which we all read so much in the pa pers. The men of fabulous wealth, who build million-dollar houses and sail the seas over in steam yachts costing hun dreds of thousands of dollars apiece, will be there for all to gaze at. And so will their women folk and the younger scions of the whole tribe of ''Gotrox."

II you were to be present you might be surprised at the women-espeeiaIIy Il you were prePossessed of the notion that every one of them is beauty But you would see the finest-grooIned lot ot human creatures you ever set your eyes upon-unless you are used 10 this sort of thing Undoubtedly the New York horse show crowd. al it's best. is the largest annual gathering oi the worlds upper crust" to be seen anywhere on this continent by rank outsider"
 And while you may be surprised 10 know that there is not much laroer percentage of beautiful women among the opulent than among any other class, you would also be surprised at he effect, in the matter of good looks. that may be produced by perfect taste in dressing.
 There might be some surprise. too. at the psainaess of their gowns. Time was when the very rich women of the coun- try were wont to vie with each other in the gatdiness of thelr attire. but that tune has long since passed away. The correct thing now, especially at the horse show, IS to dress simply. Butthe dressing must be elegant? Oh, yes. 1T you are q man you mightn.t under stand it, were you 10 make a critical survey of the boxes of the Madison square Garden when 1t is jammed to the doors by horse show erowd-but Ygur wife would.

olize the front of bodice entirely. One dress that appeared at most stately afternoon tea function has been de- scribed to me several times. It was made, Tabitha reiterates. of rich fawn cloth. with the able assistance of dull rose miroir velvet. which, GOV cred with black silk applique lace. con stituted the lower part of the bodice and the sleeves. 4 short beIef0 conn prised the rest of the bodice; this was trimmed round and round with pipines of green velvet alternating with frill- ings of black silk braid. band of Persian lamb edged the bolero, as we'll as its high, heart-cleft collar. The novelty of the costume was the scarf of dull rose silk, which, tied at the throat in a aaring bow with sailor ends. was drawn down under a paste buckle across the bosom and was loose ly tied with more ends at the waist line.. This scarf was the bodice front and most effective one. The skirt was trimmed to the knees with fri1lings of braid and velvet pipings.
 The only relief fortune promises me. from Iabitha is the horse show. That will bring forward costumes newer than hers. X dress in process of mall- ing for this function was shown to me recently. It was of delicate silver cnlored cloth. bordered with chinchil- Ia at the hem. An applique of silver gallon of equally delicate shading formed a series of scrolls upon the skirt. rising 10 the waist in points. The bodice was a snug-ftting affair, eov- cred with an applique like that on the skirt and fastened with skeleton Swiss belt in maHve ribbon. 4 full pouched front of mifoir velvet shading like a. Neapolitan violet was edged with sable, two little tails escaping under the belt upon the skirt. The neck was finished with a tucked yoke of silver

Architecture Has.1't Advanced.

It is question es to whether archi- lecture has made any advance at all during the last hundred years. 1t is true that laudable attempts have been made in recent times to advance it to it's true perfection, and though we can not say that they have succeeded every where, yet many buildings of much originality of design and of unusual merit have been built of late years throughout Europe. But in no case las any nineteenth century building eelipsed the splendid monuments erect ed by the genius of Michael Angelo, Fra Giecondo, and Raphael (the archi- teet of St. Peters at Rome), or even Sir Christopher Wren, whose great work was St. Paul's cathedral. Moth ing has ever exceeded the rich beauty of Milan cathedral-or even equaled it; or Antwerp cathedral, the work of this latter being so beautiful that Charles Y. said it should be preserved under glass case. Numberless buildings might be named of the middle ages which are Unequaled by anything since erected.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
