spectators yesterday at the final
day of the Presidents Cup Re

his wife lined the SeaWall around
Hams Point on the Potomac
River side. Plaid coats and
blankets were much in evidence
and gentlemen found it wise to
turn up the collars of their top
coats.
When Count Rossi brought
his speedy little craft in as run
ner up there was great joy in a
box occupied by members of the
Italian Embassy staff. Among
those in the group were the
First Secretary of the Embassy,
Don Marcello del Drago del

stood on his chair all the better
to see the race; countess Ro-
berti, who was with her hus-
band, the Secretary of the EN-
bassy, sported a sWagger jacket
of powder blue, coral and black
plaid, wore a chic little black
turban. An important member
of their party was Countess
Vitetti, the former Natalie Mai

The party aboard, noticed
that several other boats were
behind them and around them,
all going equally fast, but
thought nothing of it. Soon
their boat passed the finish line
and a serious man, looked at
them, waved a flag violently and
directed them off in another di-
rection. Not quite understand
ing this procedure but eager to
oblige, Bobbie ordered the
cruiser to take off, once more.
It did-and they did, and some
time later when they reached
the finish line once more, Bobbie
and his guests discovered to
their everlasting amazement,
that their boat had won third
place. Having never entered this
boat in the races, naturally Bob
bic and his wife had no inten-
ton of accepting prize-in the
first place they didn't even know
they were in a race contest.
So-very quietly, the Gard
ner cruiser and all aboard, disap-
peared and anchored finally, at
the club where the gallant
cruiser was put to bed" for the
coming winter, minus decora-
ton and with no applause.
