NEW YORK SOCIETY

I heard the other day from Mrs. Bob" Goelet. She has been doing the East on the Nahma- Her party having been sec ing things not usually shown the English. hear they don't think much of the Hellespont, and, as to Leander, they agree to send over any number, fifty or more. East River dock rats who will swim over and back for a nickel. As to old Troy, they think it had best stay covered up; it seems a pity to dig Into id Some story in regard to a visit to harem IS whispered, but I could not get the par ticulars. One of the New Workers on board took dip into the Persian Heaven, thinking he was in the Tenderloin, and the American consul had to apologize.
 Thanks to a faultless spring day and the enthusiasm full pockets awaken the fash ionable attendance at Morris Park, on the opening day was unprecedented in the annals of the Jockey Club. "Bill" Whit ney and Augie Belmont entertained large luncheon parties on the broad piazzas of the club house. All the women wore their latest and newest gowns and bon nets and affected the greatest interest in the events of the day as foreshadowed on the card. The Westchester, or Country Club contingent loyal to its own, pinned its hopes on Banastar, because it carried the Clarence Mackay colors. Banastar came in ahead on drive and the fair ones who plunged on Banastar went home winners, as the fever for specula- ton, gambling of all kinds is at its height, especially among the good people of westchester, the wagers won goodly sums.
 MT and Mrs. Reginald Rives have gone to New Hamburg to enter into six months of quiet. Of course, Reggie will take vacation and run down to Newport in Au- gust. I say a vacation because during the perior beginning May 1 and terminat- ing November 1, Reggie is plain agri- culturist, literary farmer, busily engag- ed in solving the problem: Why should, hen lay but one egg day.
 Between the allurements of yachting and the Vaccinations of golf, to say noth- ing of polo cross country riding and tennis, coaching and racing the summer season of 1901 promises to be record breaker. Among the swells, the fad will be out of door sports and litle or no din- ner giving or balls. except during the month of August when the Newport sea- son will be at It's height
 At last an American gentleman of wealth and untitled has married an Eng fish lady of title, W. Bayard Cutting, Jr., of New York married in London, Lady Sybil Cuffe. We'll one might as well be Cutting as a Cuffe. Miss Gertrude Bar clay has become Mrs. J. Stevens Ulman. So much has been written and said of this wedding when 1t was one of the pleasant events in anticipation that little or nothing need now be said save that it was an agreeable nd enjoyble social event.
 Alfred Vanderbilt, who was i'll for short time is now out and about on his coach. He drove in the coaching parade and looked delicate. With his wife was the beautiful Miss Roche, Frank Works granddaughter. This is young lady who will make a sensation. Her mother was one of the most beautiful girls of New York society generation ago. Her marriage to MT. Burke Roche. an Eng. lishman, did not prove very happy. and clouded her life which seemed so replate with all that tends to make life enjoy able, that the unfortunate marriage is all the more to be regretted. Their daughter Miss Burke-Roche is fair tall, beautiful girl, possessing all her mothers charm of manner She will be belle-1 stake my professional reputation as social prophet on Miss Roche--I declare she will be one of the greatest belles of the mat ropolis in the Newport season.
