New York, October 5.-(Special.)- J. Rural horse shows, fox hunting and the delights of the country will hold so- til the Madison Square Garden horse show, the last, in fact, to be held in the famous old arena. The season in New York will begin after the horse show is over.
 The Piping Rock horse show practical ly closes the season of open air exhibi- tions, and it will be held, as usual, at Piping Rock field, Locust Valley, L. l., on Friday and Saturday, October and '. This is the most enjoyable of all the out door events, being more of neighbor- hood affair than any of, the other and larger shows. It is intended to be non- professional and is limited to horses owned by residents of Long Island, ex- cept in the case of the hunters polo ponies and racing classes, which are open to all. An interesting feature will be the races, steeplechases and flat, which will be run on the first day on the hunt ing course adjoining the show ground. This meeting will be under the sanction of the hunts committee of the National Steepechase and Hunt association and WILL De uflutT lHt IditS Ol tlidt Oi 5diiHd- tion. Besides the usual class for harness horses, saddle horses and hunters for the show there will be a four in hand driving competition for women for the "Bagatelle cup," presented by Mrs. Thomas Hastings. w Burling Cocks, the genial secretary, has announced that en- tries will close on Wednesday, Septem- bef 27. Paul D. Cravath is president of the Piping Rock Horse Show association; :; George E. Fahys and Thomas Hitchcock, Jr are vice presidents: Frederic P. Moore, treasurer and Edward E. Craft.
 The Madison Square horse show, ''The Horse Show" will be the greatest | event both from an equine and social standpoint we have had yet. The prizes offered for the seven days of the show foot up more than s40,000.
 The military feature will be little if any short of the great exhibition at | Olympia, London, in the summer. Lieut.. | c. F. Walwyn of the Royal Horse Artil- | lery of England, who won the Canadian | challenge cup. presented by the Hon | Adam Beck of Toronto, last year on his horse, The Nut, is coming over to de- fend the trophy, and accompanying him | on the British team will be Col. F. K. Kenna V. c. D. S. O.: Lieut., Walter Brooke and Lord Decies. who married l Miss Vivien Gould last year. The names | of the other European officers who are co ming will be announced later.,
 Now that the Astor- Force wedding is safely relegated to history, society is directing it's attention to the coming l Cemoys- sherman nuptias Lord Camoys has been the recipient of many attentions and is bearing himself with commendabe mcdesty.
 l Lord Camoys' grandfather and father were lords in waiting to Queen Victoria, and Camoys himself was page of honor to Edward VIT while his uncle, the Hon. 1 Henry Stoner, one of the handsomest men in England, was lord in waiting to | King Edward, and one of the most prom nent members of that Kings set. His aunt, the Marquise d'IIautpole, was the | intimate friend of Queen Alexandria. oc- cupyings high position In both English and French society.
 The future Lady Camoys will have every social advantage, and with her | large fortune can take her place among Er glands most exclusive hostesses. The | founder of the family. Sir Thomas Ca
 moys. knight of the garter and famous
 warrior, commanded the left wing of the English army at Agncourt in 1415
 Mir and Mrs. August Belmont have
 rather unexpectedly closed By the Sea their Newport place, and proceeded to 1 the White mountains. It is said that the climate at Newport did not agree with Mrs. Belmont. The couple, however, on
 the whole, passed an enjoyable. even
 though brief, season.
 After purchasing the estate from his
 brother Perry. two years ago, Mir. Bel
 mont expended more than 900 in mak- ing Improvements.
