New York, October 10.-It is still ex- pected that MT. and Mrs William K. Vanderbilt will reach New York in time to attend the marriage on Wednesday of Mrs. Vanderbit's niece, Miss Anna Dodge to John W. Mccullough. A special train will convey the New York guests to Irv- ington, in time for the ceremony at 3 O clock in St. Barnabas church, and will bring them back after the reception and bridal dinner at White Lodge, the coun- try home of the brides mother, Mrs. Stephen H. Olin. The bride will be attend ed by MT. Olin's daughter. Miss Alice Olin. as maid of honor and by the Miss es Evelyn Parsons and Harriet Wads- worth of Washington, as bridesmaids. Edward A. Mccullough, J. Lorimer Wor- den, William Laimbeer, Nathan M. Flow CT, Samuel D. Babcock, Andrew G. c. Sage, George Hope Mairs, Alonzo Potter, George Sheffield, William Early Dodge, brother of the bride, and Dr. J. Metcalfe Polk will serve as best man and ushers. Miss Dodge has come into fortune from her grandfather, the late William Earl Dodge. She and her brother, William Earl Dodge, will share the portion of the es- tate which would have come to their fa- ther, with the exception of the income of $10O.000, which goes to their mother, Mrs. Stephen II. Olin. MT. Dodge was very fond of his daughter-in-law, and on her marriage with MT. Oln last spring gave her the house she had lived in for a long time at 107 East Thirty-fifth street.
 There seems to be every reason to be- lieve that the wedding of Miss May Goe- let to the Duke of RoXburghe will be greatly modified owing to the death of Sir Michael Herbert, uncle by marriage of the bride-elect. In any case, it has been the intention of Mrs Goelet to have the marriage celebrated with as little ostentation as possible. and now. according to the first plan the wedding may possibly be an event of the late Newport season. While it may not be so convenient a spot for many busy people. Newport is an ideal place for a marriage. especially when one has so fine a home as has Mrs. Goelet It will be some days before the wedding plans in good taste be discussed. It had been expected that Sir Michael and Lady Herbert would sail for this side about october 22.

MT and Mrs. Whit ney will do some entertaining this win ter in the pretty dancing saloon they have in their establishment at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street. MT. Whitney has a house boat to be launch- ed in the course of a fortnight at Terry Bar, near Baltimore.
 The outlook for the winters gayety is particularly bright. If Mrs. Astor does not make any change in her custom she will give her New Years ball on the night of January 1, as she invariably selects the first Monday in January for the function and has a standing promise from Elisha Dyer, Jr., to lead all her cotillons. William c. Whitney will give a coming out ball for his niece, the sec ond Miss Barney. and his fine ballroom is likely to be the scene of many festi- vities Mrs Vanderbilt, who has the most promised to give parties in 1t for some of her young relatives.

Henry Binsse has created no end of excitement and so many entertain ments have been given for the engaged couple that it is just as well that the wedding day has been set for an early date. for even the Morristown constitu- tion can scarcely stand the strain of so many luncheons and dinners Mir. and Mrs. Hamilton Mckay Twombly are even more entertaining than usual. or to sneak correctly, more given to entertain ing The youngest daughter, who made her debut at Newport Is to have a dance given for her. and they have had a con stant succession of young people for both week end and week out house parties number of Boston girls have been among the guests and there has not been A day or evening without some special
