Secrecy Shrouds Wedding
Of Alfred C.. Vanderbilt

decision to make theirs a quiet
and strictly family wedding, and
it was only within the week that
the groom's mother, Mrs. Mar
garet Emerson, arrived from Homo
lulu, where she had stopped off on
a round.the-world cruise with her
daughter, Miss Gloria Baker.
Even before he took charge OF
the famed Sycamore stable and
Sycamore Farm in the Worthing.
ton Valley, near Baltimore, on his
twenty-first birthday, some four
or five Septenbers back, Alfred
Vanderbilt was one of the most
popular young men around the
tracks.
JUST PLAIN 'AL'
In fact, just because he was
married today I don't know why
we should insist on calling him
Alfred. Everybody from his stable
boys, through his jockeys, up and
down and around and about al
ways has called him cal" And
with a sincere ring to the nick
name, too. He's that sort of a
young man.
Racing always has been No. /,
and so far as I know, his only
sports interest. But he hasn't been
content just to see few horses
run in his white, cerise diamond
silks. He has bought heavily into
the ancient Pimlico track at Bal
timore; become its vice president
and leading spirit.
REBUILT PREAKNESS
He alone has lifted the historic
PreakneSs back into a place in the
racing sun as a $4,000 stake,
richer even than it's counterpart,
the Kentucky Derby. He is active
in rebuilding and undermining
Pin1lico, so that it can comfort
ably accommodate the big crowds
that soon will be coming to see the
Preakness and the Dixie Handicap
run again.
Vanderbilt also was the one to
launch the excellent campaign for
letting the racing public in on the
secret when owners were qualify
ing, which simply means educa.
ting, two-year-olds in races. He
wasn't so anxious for the public to
know anything about today'S we'd
ding until it was over.

arrived.
There was a wedding break

ON MOTOR HONEYMOON
Immediately after the wedding
Vanderbilt and his authenticated
bride departed by automobile for
New York, and at 1880 this
morning they took off by air for
Bermuda.
The bride was given in marriage
by her brother, William Luis Hud-
son. Her only attendant was Mrs.
Charles Fairbanks, a sister, OF
Pasadena.
In the absence of his brother,
George Vanderbilt, the groom had
as his best man, Harry A. Parr,
Sd, of Baltimore.
The only music for the wed
ding march was furnished by Stew
art Ross, at the piano.
Guests at the wedding included
Mrs. Richard E. Hyde, of San
Francisco, and Miss Ana Theresa
Hudson, of Monterey, sisters Of
the bride; Mrs. Lindsay Howard,
a cousin of the bride; Miss R.
Dorothy De Milhau, of New York;
Mr.. and Mrs. William Randolph
Hearst, jr.; Horace Kelland, son of
the novelist; Mr.. and Mrs. j. H.
Stotler; Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. SWope,
ST.; Mr.. and Mrs. H. B. SWope,
jr.; Bruce Powell, and Charles
Fairbanks, husband of the matron
of honor.
TRIED TO DODGE PRESS
In an attempt to foil the press
and photographers, Vanderbilt
had planned for a time to be mar
ried in the home Of Raoul H.
Fleischmann, publisher, at Plan
dome, L. l., which is occupied this
summer by Clarence Buddington
Kelland, novelist. He changed his
plans late yesterday.
After the ceremony, Vanderbilt
and his bride obligingly posed for
the few cameramen who had man
aged to track down the wedding.
The romance began at Santa
Anita Park last winter and
ran its bright course through
Pimlico and Belmont to to-
days June wedding. From the
moment that Mrs. Charles s.
Howard, of San Francisco, intro
duced her charming niece to Mr..
Vanderbilt in the Howard box at
Santa Anita, Alfred has been in a
slight daze concerning Seabiscuit,
Stagehand and even Discovery, his
first and greatest turf champion.
Great secrecy surrounded the
happy young couples sudden

Friday.
Furniture manufacturers are eX-
perimenting with the tamarisK WOOD
to determine its adaptability TO tur-
niture construction. Chamber OF
commerce officials asked the United
States bureau of standards to make
immediate tests and Investigations
with view to determining the
woods suitability to such use.
IF there is commercial demand
for the tamarisk trees" Hays said,
many farmers could devote part
of their acreage to their cultiva-
ton. They could utilize waste land
along river bottoms and in spots
unfit for other crops.
They could straighten and prune
their trees to obtain the maximum
marketable timber content. Even
when cut down. the trees grow
again. Hedges and windbreakS of
tamarisk trees grow in such density
that half of them could be cut and
sold for timber without damage to
the windbreak or shade value of
the hedges"
