try. i he arrival Saturday in New York OF
Mr.. Charles de Halpert attache OF the
Russian embassy at Rome who Is said to
be a warm personal friend of the groom,
suggests that he Is to occupy the position
of honor on the momentous occasion. Inc

Duke Vladimir of Russia, who deputed
Count Cassini the Russian ambas adDr. to
represent him, but as that gentleman Is
still abroad, it is obvious another selection
has been made and the timely arrival of

much interested in the polo practice that
he has offered set of cups for a contest
while he Is here to watch it.
