english Horse Show.

Alfred G. Vanderbilt returned rather
unexpectedly with his sister. instead of
awaiting in England the arrival there
of his horses. He will not remain here
long. but will go back TO England very
soon, in order TO superintend the prep
aration OF his horses for the show at
Olympia
Alfred Vanderbilt expects not only to
win many prizes with his horses. but
Likewise to carry off some honors in
competing with his equipages and turn
outs, expressing the opinion that here in
this country more attention and care are
devoted, both to the traps and TO the
harness whips, etc, than abroad. He
gave expression TO these views while
in England, where they excited no
end OF astonishment, as English people
are firmly convinced that they have
nothing whatsoever to learn from Amer
leans or any other foreigners in connec-
ton with horses, hunting, coaching.
driving. racing. etc.

Feastng, Not Fasting,
Observance Of Lent
In New York Society

NEW YORK. March Lent is no
longer a season Of fasting. but of feast
ing. II is given up 10 public and private
dinners. to luncheon parties. and to sup
pers. which latter are usually preceded
by music or by vaudeville. while mar
TiaCe bells ring almost without Interrupt
uon from one end of the week to the
other. Moreover. announcements of en-
eagements succeed one another with
startling rapidity. indicating that in
spite Of the many weddings during these
forty days of penance. there will be
many more after Easter.
II is. however. the public and semi
public banquets that may be said TO
constitute the most striking feature OF
the Lent Of 1907. There are such a
quantity Of them that the Waldorf, Del
monico's, and the Astor find difficulty
in accommodating them. requiring dates
TO be booked weeks and weeks before
hand.

Roller Skating
Holds Atlantic

ATLANTIC CITY, March 2.-There is
one thing here over which visitors from
Washington are rejoicing-aside from
the good hotels. Of course-and that Is
the skating rinks. All the people in the
Capital City have gone crazy over roller
skating. and one of the first things that
a Washngtonian does after registering
at the hotel and telling the clerk where
10 have the baggage rlaced. is TO hunt
rink and enjoy a spin on the little
rollers. And as a rule the Washington
ian is a good skater. One Of the best
and most graceful skaters ever seen
here. outside Of the professionals, is
Miss Margaret LOr1 Taylor. who is
spending a month here with friends in
one OF the apartment hotels. she Is a
daily visitor at the Ocean Pier Rink.
and there are very few women who can
equal her in the art Of roller skating.
