LONDON.-On Thursday, I
went to Ascot again as I
wanted to see Mate, our Amer
tcan horse, run in the Gold Cup
race, and Mr.. Joseph Widener'S
horse, Autumn, that he told
US about when coming over on
the boat, was in the first race
that day.
The sun was shining when we
left London, SO we dressed in
the best we had, but wore small
hats as there was some wind.
Before we got to Ascot, which
is an hour-and-a-half's drive, it
began to rain. We stopped at
Q village store on the way down
and bought cotton umbrellas
and cheap raincoats. When we
arrived the finery was on pa
rade. I saw dozens Of large
hats blown away, feather boas
were being chased all over the
place.
However, after they got a
little wet they stuck in place
better!
I don't suppose anyone ever
went in the royal enclosure
(where a friend had taken uS),
IN q cheap raincoat and hold.
ing q cotton umbrella-but we
were dry, at any rate. It was
really funny to see the young
girls. It is tradition to wear
your best and parade between
races, and they did it in spite
Of the rain and ruination of
their lovely clothes.
MIR. Widener's horse Autumn
was beaten by q lovely gray
horse called Blue Boy, but he
came in quite a close second.
Next was the Gold Cup Race
--the most important race Of
the meeting, when Mate, our
American horse, belonging to
Brother BoStwick" was to run.
He looked lovelier than I have
ever seen him, and all the
Americans quite a few Of us)
put q little bet; on him. He
ran q grand race. but the two
and q half miles was too much
for him, and his jockey slowed
him up when he saw he
couldn't win. There were 10
horses in that race, represent
ing England, America, France,
italy, India md ireland. Mate
ran sixth.
Felicitation, belonging to the
Aga Khan, was first; Thor II,
belonging to Mr.. M. Bousssc,
was second. and Hyperion, the
favorite, belonging to Lord
Derby, was third. The Aga
Khan is spoken of in India,
as 1.-THE Shadow of God" so
I would say he is thought Of
very highly in his country. He
has great horses and an Eng
lish trainer and has won more
races than anyone else at
Ascot.
One race Of this day (the

Basis for Commitment

various causes were given
which might be sufficient to
authorize such commitment, one
of which is the following:

years of sge, who is incOrrigible,
or habituaIIy disregardS the
commands of his father or
mother, or guardian, who leads
a vagrant life, or resorts to i'm
moral places or practices, or,
negIectS or refuses to perform
labor suitable to his years and
condition, or to attet :. school.
And the president Of the board
of trustees may also commit to
the Reform School such boys as
are mentioned in the foregoing
third and fourth classes upon
application or complaint in
writing Of q parent, or guar.

Of quality not readily found else
where.
The exhibit house at 7 Black
thorne Street is fully furnished
and open for inspection.
F. 8. Papot's new offering at S37
Baltimore Avenue, Takoma Park,
is drawing a number Of prospects
who are bent on business and not
merely curious. The house has
been described in this column be-
fore and is entirely a contained
unit, including a garage in
the basement, which is entirely
drained by reason Of the confor'
nation Of the floor level to the
contour of the hillside location Of
the dwelling.
The Bethel home at 523 Quack-
enbos st. N. w., a semidetached
house with allelectric kitchen,
is drawing its full share of
inspection. Situated nearer the
city proper. the home is attractive
to the eye and conforms in all
respects with the strict building
code Of the District.
It features an all-electric health
kitchen. It was built by Harry
Poretzky.
For the honeymoon couple who
disdain apartments and wish to
own their own home, nothing is
more suitable than the apartment
type bungalows sold by Frank
Simon.
Two of these unusual dwellings
out of the half-Score that have
been built this year-remain un'
sold. One is located at 4612 Chest
nut Street, Bethesda, and the
other at GOT Houston Street, Sill
yer Spring.
They feature a complete living
unit, with every convenience, on
one floor. There are no stairs to
climb and, while the dwellings
have all the advantages Of a
home, they combine the easy
maintenance Of an apartment.
The price Of the homes is
astoundingly low in view of their
brick construction and desirable
location.
But there remain large mum.
berS of persons who are faithful
to the apartment dwelling unit.
They favor the suburban type
with hotel convenience and a
price adjustable to various sizes
of income.
The Westchester meets all these
requirements and, in its third
year, still enjoys the patronage it
enjoyed when it was an lnnova-
ton in apartment dwellings in
the District.
Cool, airy rooms spread out
over the sides Of the hills which
rise up about the old Kennedy
estate, and the view afforded from
Some of the units extends beyond
the Potomac, and on a clear day
the foothills of the Blue Ridge
Mountains can be seen in the dis
tance.
Because it is so unusual for an
apartment to enjoy such popu'
larity in these faddish times,
much Of the credit for the West
chester's loyal patronage has been
given to its alert and hoSpitable
