AMERICANS ARE RETURNING HOME
FROM LONDON SEASON; GOING
TO RESORTS.

NEW YORK, July 25-London's sea-
son has now come to an end, with the
result that many OF our 400" who have
been spending the summer basktnS ~
The sunshine Of British royalty, are
turning their faces homeward and are
fockIng back to New York across the
Atlantic. In fact, every incoming liner
brings a whole cargo Of well-known
people, who. after stopping for luncheon
at one Of the fashionable restaurants,
where they sre always sure TO find
some Of their friends and acquaintance
with whom to exchange condolences,
scatter TO the various summer resorts,
where the season is now in fun swing.
The traffic TO and from Europe has
been larger than ever this year. so
much SO that new ocean lines are being
organized. notably one by Prince Egon
Fuerstenberg and by his relative.
Prince HOhenlohe-Oehringen. Both Of
them are multi-millionaires and have
decided to devote their surplus riches to
this form Of commercial venture instead
Of allowing them 10 lie idle.
Prince FUerstenberg is the most inti-
mate friend and constant associate Of
the Kaiser, while Prince Hohenlohe is
the latter's COUSIN. and IL is understood
that they have been ENCOURAGED IN this
enterprise by the Emperor, which would
go far 10 substantiate tie stories to the
effect that he has Withdrawn his favor
from Director General Ballin. of the
German-American line.
Long Branch Horse Show.
Long Branch and the Jersey coast in
the vicinity will be en- fete during the
coming week in connection with its
annual horse show. which in point Of
equine display and Of social attendance
promises TO prove record breaker.
There are a larger number Of entries
than in any previous year, among the
new exhibitors being Reginald Wander
bit. who, with his wife and a party OF
friends from Newport, will be very
much in evidence in and around Long
Branch while the exhibition is in prog
ress, making their headquarters at the
Takanasse Hotel The show opens on
Wednesday, and Of the many entertain
ments given in connection Herewith the
most notable Will be the customary ball

There is an immense amount OF wealth
represented among the summer resi-
dents of all that section Of the Jersey
coast, and IT is no exaggeration to
assert that from the point OF view OF
feminine f1nery the Long Branch horse
snow is superior TO anything of the kind
in America. with the exception Of the
great fall exhibition at Madison Square
Garden
Racing to Begin at Saratoga.
Racing begins at Saratoga Thursday
next, and the Polo Club is busy pre-
pairing the grounds for the polo tourna-
ment, which is always held In cennec-
ton with TIE racing season. and which
this year will extend for q week or ten
days after the races have come 10 an
end
1t would seem that the racing men do
not entertain apprehensions Of any seri-
Gus interference with their sport al Sar-
1toga this summer through the new
betting legislation, for the stables Of
James R Keene, Of August Belmont, Of
Frank Hitchcock, Of Harry Payne
Whitney. and Of Herman B. Duryea are
already established in their Saratoga
quarters, and other strings of horses
belonging to well-knoWn turfmen are
arriving every day. True. the racing
will last only fifteen days. but, while
that has somewhat impaired the usual
demand for cottages, it has increased
the number of applications for hotel ac-

dicted, to prove the most brilliant in
the annals Of Saratoga.
Among those who have rented cot
tages, and many Of whom have already
arrived, are Mr.. and Mrs. Richard T.
