No announcement of his plans has come from his holiday home at the James A. Burden estate In the last day and night, save the information that Wales would attend a small din- ner party tonight at the home of Rodman Wanamaker at Oyster Bay.
 The prince has given Ashby, one of his finest polo ponies, to Miss Diana Guest, daughter of the Right Honorable Frederick E. Guest, a polo player and friend of the royal family Captain Guest, whose home is at Wheatly Hills, married an American girl.
