Again thla Spring efforts are being made to re--establish racing at Plmlloo, and it now aeema quite probable that with tbe co-operation of a number of society and business men, a erie of excellent race will take place In tba Fall. Ever inoe tbe dlabandlng of tbe Maryland Jockey Club, about two year ago. efforts have beeil made lo re-estebltsn a turf club In tbia city, and Indeed, by the very fact or tbe disintegration of tbe Plmlloo Club racing matter received eatliu-nlua which tbey bad not enjoyed for many year.

The plan now under consideration, which In fact Mams to lie definitely determined on, is to hold a meeting some time in October attar tbe closing of the track in New-York and Brooklyn and row the magnitude of tbe purses proposed, the best entries will thereby doubtlos be scoured. Tbe fine weather ot tba past fortnight bM bMn specially favorable to hunting, and the Elk Ridge Fox club has now afcirted In on iu regular series of Spring hunts. The hounds will continue to meet twioe a week, oa Wednesdays and baturdays. until tbe Hummer, and the Country Club, the borne of the Elk Ridgera, Is, as Is usual during the Spring, beginning to be resorted to every afternoon by small parties for tea. Thus far the Hprtug has been exceptionally destitute of weddings, and one of its chief sources of brightness bM therefore bMn removed.

Usually a largo number of marriages take place at this time, and wedding breakfasts and receptions form a very considerable part uf the Spring gsyety. only two or three marrlagea have, bow-ever, thus far token place, and these were of a private kind. On Thursday the list wm enlarged wben Randall McEim w. married to Miss La-vlnla Taylor at noon at Emaanel Protestant Episcopal church.
