Westcott Mrs Clar ence Moore who entertained the Hon Mrs Stanley Jackson and Mr and Mrs Beekman who occupied the Vanderbilt box Clarence Moore to night expressed unqualified approval of the show He said i It has been a wonderful success 1 come to London every year and have never seen a function create a bigger sensation In London society Look at the ladles toilettes Who ever saw evening dress at a London horse show before They have arranged It well but they are not used to these things In London yet so we can expect the lew necessary improvements next year when they have had a little more experience There Is no doubt that the show will become an annual affair here Before returning home I anticipate that we will make the pre liminary arrangements for 1908 TheAmerican entrants fared well but there Is a noticeable difference In the manner the English and American com pernors turn out Our people do everr thing complete paying attention to the minutest details of the vehicles as well as the horses In this respect the Kng Ush are somewhat deficient and some of their vehicles show that they have not properly studied the full value of making the whole outfit look its best Their horseflesh Is good but such details as the condition and appearance of the harness are frequently overlooked an omission of which the Americans are never guilty Many of the English exhibits however indicate that later on they will educate themselves up to our standard Vanderbilt Judges Cab Horses A novel event this afternoon was Class SS In which seventeen of Londons smartest hansom cabs

Washington To day Senator Knox Pennsylvanias candidate for the Presidential nomination will attend a reunion of the alumni of his alma mater Mount Union College at Alliance Ohio on June 19 The Senator who has been In Washington for several days attending to some official business and answering letters and telegrams of congratulation upon his indorsement by the Harrisburg convention will return to his farm at Valley Forge to day For several weeks the officials ot Mount Union College have been endeavoring to secure a promise from him to attend this reunion of graduates ot that Institution and the Senator has found that his engagements will permit him to be present and has sent his acceptance Senator Knox is a member of the class of 72 In the thirty five years that have elapsed since his graduation he has taken a great Interest In the college and has kept up his acquaintance with a number of his classmates His grand father was a Scotch Irish clergyman who joined the Methodist society and came to America to preach For years he rode the circuit in Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio and the first Methodist church erected in Pittsburg was built with money collected by him When It came time to send their son to college the Senators parents following family traditions decided that he should go to a Methodist Institution and Mount Union was selected William McKInley was also a graduate of that college but he antedated the Senator there by several years When young Knox was a student McKInley was prosecuting attorney of Stark County and often made speeches before the college literary society After attending the alumni reunion at Mount Union Senator Knox will go to New Haven where on June 21 he will deliver the address before the graduating class of the Yale Law School His speech upon this occasion Is expected to deal with great economic questions and will be a very Important one The Senators son Hugh is a member of the graduating class at Tale this year and he also has

an adjournment having been taken until to day on account of the death of Senator Morgan Senator Lodge referred briefly to the loss to the Senate and to the country and suggested that It would be fitting for the committee which Is the only Senate body now in session to adjourn as a mark of respect An executive session of the committee was held at which Senator Pettus was permitted to record his vote In support of the administration on the Brownsville question This was done for the reason that Senator Pettus will go to Alabama with the body of his colleague and probably will not return here during the present session of the committee It was stated that the committee would conclude the examination of all of the witness in prospect by Tuesday next but It Is not oeuevea uai any report wui oe prepared at this time The question of going to Brownsville was discussed and the argument made by several Senators that the case already was sufficiently outlined to make the visit unnecessary jEbe question was not decided however vJeyond reaching the agreement that it later it should be nec essary 10 sena a committee to urowns vllle the trip will not be made until November next That a new contender In The Posts Jamestown Exposition contest has chance equal to one of the present leaders Is shown by one who obtaining a few yearly subscriptions for the daily and Sunday Post starts In the contest with more than 20000 votes This contestant says he prefers to stay In the background urtil the race has gone a little further Then he promises to make It Interesting for the leaders who are now well around the 160000 mark The premium vpttu In the contest are the ones that count the most judging from the experience of those who are In a position to know A subscription for one year dally and Sunday brings the candidate 5000 votes extra It can thus be seen that while the friends of a dldate may be canvassing a district for single coupons printed dally In the paper and getting possibly BOO in a day an other by obtaining a paid subscription for a year can transfer to the candidate 5000 votes What Is more the coupons printed dally must be turned Into the office of The Post within seven days or they are valueless while the special premium votes may be withheld to well toward the finish of the contest when ample time will be given for all ballots so held to be cast Candidates May Hold Back Thus a candidate may conceal his real strength until practically the last moment and It gives the hustling friends of the various contestants a chance to keep them in the forefront all the time If they determine that that is the preferable course or to hold back for a surprising finish It is not to be taken for granted the editor of the contest says that because the name of a candidate has not appeared In the printed list there Is assurance that the race has narrowed to a certain number Quite the contrary he declares The number of candidates who have not yet appeared officially Is legion and at any time a contender will enter who la unheard ot at me present time This all the contestants acknowledge makes matters morejnterestlng With a number of dark horses to be heard from not to mention those whose names have already appeared perhaps far down In the list the race naturally becomes alt the more uncertain For Instance there Is CtH Graham wnose friends are rolling up a big vote rnen too there lr Rev Dunlop to be watched The friends of George Smith are frankly saying that It Is only right and proper that this lineal descendant of the cantain who made Jamestown famous should be sent there as a member of The Post party and they are taking measures to carry out the plan over in Alexandria Seldon Wash ington 14 making a sharp contest and as the father of his country was of the same family there are hundreds seeking ballots for Mr Washington In a purely patriotic spirit To be sure Miss Nannie Whiting seems to have a com manding lead there hut the chances that come in a week have been very surprising from the start of the contest Contest Party Suggestions So many suggestions have come to the editor of the contest that the winners majce up one grand party he has taken the matter up and considered all its phases Should this be decided upon the advantages are many to all but he wishes It distinctly understood that If a special party of Post prise winners decide to make the trip together other winners who may be Unable to join shall be at liberty to choose their own time and mode of going The advantage In the party idea Is that possibly better accommodations can be ob tained and special entertainment be provided them It may be that the party Idea will be carried out but the winner who for business or other reasons should not be able or willing to join will be free to visit the exposition when he deems best SOCIAL AJ JWOiNalX CONTINUED rOU SXVMNTH MOZ carried White peonies Mr Thomas Jtaf terywas best man and the ushers were Mh

chltect There are many reasons assigned for giving up Georgian Court at Lakewood It Is said there was a lack of society In Lakewood and that the trades peo pie of the village were disposed to be

family were In New York When tho Goulds went to Georgian Court orl1nalIy Mrs rM was so EVANS enamored of the beautiful place and the Idea of living In the country that she wrote the following which Is

who are worth knowing and talking to as any group of the same size In the country The trouble with New Yorks Four Hundred In so far as it has a defect Is not that It Is exclusive but merely that Its members are all rich and subject to the inevitable disadvantage common to rich people of having too much spare time and too much spare money Consequently too many of them especially the women tend to make a business of pleasure and that Is not so good for them as though they had to make a business of work and used pleasures as an antidote That Is the better way and the more amusing But after all It Is no small trick to mix In work and play la Just the right proportions and a great many peope who do not belong to any Four Hundred make a ry imperfect Job of it Commenting on the statement in a cent magazine article that little that Is Interesting aside from her ohvslcal i itu is iouna xne American girl of to day between the ares of fifteen and twenty two and tfit ft that she has failed to keep pace In any respect with the American boy a writer says Our girls are between standards They neither make beds nor drive engines There is nothing the matter with them If they fall to sive entire satisfaction It Is because re have hot jret determined what we want them to be whether dependent or Independent whether self sufQclnt or supplementary If we undertake to make successful wage earners of them we fear that we will divert them from marrying Ifwe abstain from fitting them to make their own ways and find their own interests In the world we fear that they will be compelled to marry Either way we dont like the prospect Nothing alls our girls exceDt that our own notions of what women may best unaerxaae are contused Considering the muddled state of our minds and the conflict In our purposes the girls with the help of naturedo wonderfully well In puzzling out their own destinies For our boys It Is plain sailing We know what we want of them and thev knowt They go straight on But

presumptive to the dukedom Marie Fitzgerald and OustavusF Swift the Second were married Tuesday stCbl Prof Charles Zueblln of the University of Chicago appears to have been casting disparagement upon the Four Hundred and their experience of life He talked about them the other day to the League of Religious Fellowshlpsand the papers report him to have said that It Is Im possible to belong to any exclusive set without loss He thought the Four Hundred did not get anything out of life He found that their perspective was narrow that they had only a small circle of friends and were constantly meeting the same people that they Intermarried too much and raised Inferior children He derided them for being afraid to know people outside of their own set and said the reason of It was the insecurity of their position The really big people he held are never afraid of losing anything by mingling with all classes There Is some sense In these criticisms for exclf slveness pays a price for what It gets But after all the excluslveness of a Four Hundred the Four Hundred of New York for example Is not so much an arbitrary choice as a natural drift The chief tie of a Four Hundred Is money which makes possible a certain scale ot living and gives certain social opportunities and the leisure to Improve Lthem A Four Hundred Is simply a lot of people who want to live more or less the same way and play more or less the same games The membership of such a group shows the same Individualities and personal Idiosyncrasies as the member ship of any other grpuyIt includes good people And badr wlae people and foolish just as does any group of villagers or farmers or factory hands The geese in a Four Hundred are exclusive because they overvalue their social place and feel the need of artificial barriers between themselves andTniore interesting people but the really superior people tar a Four Hundred are only ex clusive because they bare already ac quirea tu me acquaintances tney can handle and have no time for more The group which Is loosely known as the Four Hundred lnNew York Is prob ably at least four times as big as the groups of persons with whom Prof Zueblln habitually

direct them at a semi public concert Mr Clinch Smith objected most vigorously But argument persuasion and protest were unavailing and Mrs Smith led her orchestra and suffered the penalty pf success by
