Mrs. Sinclair Bowen, after winning one
of the prizes in the ladies' jumping class
at the Riding and Hunt Club last night,
taking a hurdle on a spirited mount, en-
tered in the second class for jumpers
and had two falls in which she narrowLS

In both instances the horse fell after
clearing the bar. After being thrown
the first time Mrs. Bowen made another
try at the hurdle and was pitched for
ward, landing on her shoulders. Aside
from being severely shaken up she was
not severely injured.
A feature of the evening was the
auctioning of horses owned by the club.
Prices received were surprisingly low and
generally disappointing.
Bright Light, one of the prize hunters
of the club, valued at upward of $500
brought only 800 Captain. Brown Cap

sold for prices far below their value.

Note of Endorsement From

Capital-Only Slight
Variations.
SPAIN IS INTERMEDIARY

Endorsement by the Vatican OF Presi-
dent Wilson's efforts to bring about
peace in Europe was transmitted to the
President yesterday, as the administra-
ton sought to work out the next move
In the peace negotiations.
Pope Benedict, through the Spanish
Ambassador, Senior Riano, congratulated
the President on his stand for peace. and
expressed hearty approval OF his peace
plans.
The papal Endorsement, together with
the other developments in the peace sit
uation. was discussed by President VIII
son with the Cabinet at the regular meet
Ing late In the day, and the President
reviewed the peace negotiations with
former Secretary of State William Jen-
nings Bryan, who called at the White
House.
The formal text of the notes Of Ger
many and Austria. transmitting to the
neutral nations the Teutonic views on
the entente refusal to consider Germany's
original peace offer. reached the State
Department yesterday.
Only slight Variations.
The official text differed but slightly
and only in minor particulars from the
caoled reports OF the communications
The State Department turned the notes
over TO the President. Both the White
House and the Department declined to
comment on the communications
The Presidents advisers were still con-
noent that the way was still open for
further action by the President They
were convinced that the German and
Austrian retoinders to the entente peace
refusal made 1t clear that direct negotia-
tions between the belligerents were no
longer possible. They believe, with the
President, however. that this impasse in
the direct peace dealings in no way af-
fects any mediatory action that President
Wilson may feel called upon to take

next peace move will take and no hint

Situation Discussed.
The Endorsement of Pope Benedict was
delivered to President Wilson personally
by Senior Riano, who said that he was
instructed by the King of Spain to notify
the President of the feelings Of the vati-
can The communication came through
Spain because the Vatican has no diplo-
matte representative in Washington.
Former Secretary of State Bryan dis
cussed the peace situation with the Presi-
dent after the Cabinet meeting. He was
closeted with his former chief for a con-
siderable time. After the conference he
said that he had congratulated the Presi-
dent upon his efforts for peace up to
this time. He said, however, that he
could not discuss the outlook or. the pos
sibility for furthAr action. That was a
matter for the cor sideration Of the Presi-
dent alone, he SAID
1t was apparent in administration cir
cles last night that the President is pre-
pared to wait some time before again
moving in the peace negotiations.
