They made a few calls, Mrs. Vanderbilt introducing him to her more intimate friends. Within the Casino grounds the young nobleman attracted much attention, being attired in a suit of gray, with tennis shoes, a dark-bosomed shirt, and a necktie end hatband of decidedly Uvely colors. Unfor- tunately, the duke is a ifttle fellow, and could hardly be seen in the big crowd. It appears as if the anxiety to see him is quite as ‘ntense as if Newport society had not already been surfeited with titled per- sonages. Men, women and young girls tip- toed and craned their necks to an alarming degree to see him over others’ heads. The duke’s mail is full of invitations of all sorts, and he will be kept moving pretty lively all week. The fourth birthday of little Mary Louise Sparrow was celebrated at her parents’ residence, No. 1110 Maryland avenue south- west, yesterday by a merry gathering of ttle folks.

The initiating officers were: Noble commander, J. Bright Handy; vice noble commander, Mrs. Fanny Wood; worthy prelate, Miss Nettie Callahan; worthy herald, R. A. Rothrock; past noble commander, Clarence I. Gessford, who per- formed the ritualistic werk in the most im- pressive Manner, and entirely without the tse of books. The committee on the good of the order were instructed to make ar- rangements for a “pink tea,” to be given during October. Under the good of the orGer interesting remarks were made by Past Grand Commander Yates, Levin C. Handy, Jos. B. Bailey, R. M. Allen, Mrs. Lillie A. Edelen and others.

General Hospital, Portland, in a critical condition. iss Beard, who is a Boston school teacher, was asleep, with a college mat Miss Winona E. Graffam of Andover, ani the first intimation the young ladies had of their perll was when Miss Beard re- ceived the first heavy blow, deeply cutting her arm. A struggle ensued, and Miss Beard received several more serious cuts. Miss Graffam was slightly injured, but managed to escape and gave the alarm. Mrs. Beard has been a reguiar attendant at Dr. Simpson's revival meetings, and it 1s claimed that her mind became unbal- anced through religious excitement. —___ -+2-_____ About the Right Size. From Tid-Bits. ‘Haven't you made Mr. Bulger’s portrait a good deal more than life size?” said one artist to another. “Perhaps.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N.J., August 25, 1895. The resort is pretty well filled with Wash- irgtonians, and other citles are well repre- sented, especially the cities of the south end west. Last right the annual cottagers’ ball took place at the Stockton, it taking a turn toward a testimonial to Mr. Horace M. Cake, proprietor of the Stockton Hotel, for his liberality and kindness toward the cottagers the present season. Both the ball rcem and dizing room were used for danc- irg, and while an orchestra furnished the music for one part of the bull, the Tuxedo Mandolin Club of Washington made sweet notes for those in the ball room. It was ore of the most successful events which bas ever taken place here. There was a very large attendance. The committee in charge of the dancing consisted of twenty- five of the leading cottagers, with Duncan L. Buzley of Philadelphia as cheirman. ‘At 11 o'clock a handsome clock, made for tke event in Philadelphia, was unveiled and presented to Mr. Cake by the cottage resi- dents, the presentation speech being made by W. Horace Hepburn. The timepiece is inclosed in a solid mahogany frame, and is of a colonial pattern, similar to one pre- sented to President’ Cleveland. Manager B. K. Cake was presented with a handsome scarf pin, a fire opal, set in six beautifully cut diamonds. A Late Season. There is a probability that the present week will be a gay one, and that the sea- son will extend well into September. Both the Stockton and Congress Hall are ad- vertised to keep open doors until October 1st, and both houses have many engage- ments for the late season, which many consider the most pleasant time of the year here. This course is a new departure, the big hotels usually closing the first Mon- day in September. The Lafayette, Wind- sor, Chalforte, Marine Villa, Star Villa, Colonial, Brexton and Aldine will remain open until October Ist also, while all but the former will even receive guests later, as they have done for some time past. It is announced that the Congress Hall Hotel Company will expend $20,000 in im- provements during the coming winter, and that a casino will be erected on the Colum- bian avenue lawn of the Stockton, which is the rear side of the house. This struc- ture is to be a cross between the Newport ard Narragansett Pier casinos. Mr. John F. Betz of Philadelphia, who owns the property, ts estimated to be worth $15,~ 600,000. Many improvements by the municipal au- thorities are also expected, in the way of new drives, the betterment of Beach gvenue drive, and in a new board walk, end some devices to protect sightseers on rae beach from the hot sun during bathing ours.

August 27, 1896. ‘The third annual fair, given by the Fair Association of Prince George's county, opened here today under the most favor- able auspices. The association is com- posed of the business men of Washington, Baltimore and southern Maryland, all of whom are interested in agricultural pur suits, and as such have used their best effurts to make the annual meetings of the fair a success. The race horses which have been en- tered are of a better class than those en- tered last year, as the association has de- termined not to permit any crooked busi- ness on the track, and every attempt at anything of the kind has been quickly put down. The track is much improved, for the association has spent $1,500 since the last fair in improving it. The track is a full half-mile regulation track. The horsemen consider it twelve seconds fuster since the last races. ‘The exhibits in horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, etc., have pretty well filled up all the space allotted to them, from which they will be taken tomorrow or next day and awarded premiums by competent judges. The premiums run from $2 to $10 on horses; on cattle, from $1 to $10; on sheep, from $1 to $3; on hogs, from $1 to $3; on fowls, from $1 to $3. In the exhibition hall, where the farm and home products are exhibited, almost everything imaginable which 1s generally used or made on a farm or in the house- hold are on exhibition. Premiums on dairy products, $2 to $15; field products, $2; gar- den products, $1 to $5; household products, $2 to $3; kitchen preducts, $1 to $3; public school department, 50c. to $1. There is a better and larger display of agricultural implements this year than there has ever been. No premiums are to be awarded in this class, but a diploma will be given to the persons making the best exhibits. The usual number of fakirs are doing business on the grounds. All_the business houses and residences are draped in bunting, and last night th crowd commenced to pour in, pretty wi filling up the hotels. AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA The Funeral of the Late Rev. Hendersop 2 Suter. * Impressive Services This Morning— Other Notes of a Local and General Character. The funeral of the late Rev. Henderson Suter, D. D., took place from Christ Church this morning at 10:30 o'clock. The church was packed to the doors with his sorrow- ing friends, and as the services were being corducted there was hardly a dry eye in the congregation. The beautiful, solemn and impressive funeral service of the Protes- tant Episcopal Church was read by those who had been his associates"in the minis- try, and his mortal self was consigned to the ground. The pallbearers, as stated, were members of the vestry of Christ ‘Church. ‘The vestry of Christ Church held a spe- cial meeting yesterday and resolutions of the deepest respect and love In commenda- tion of Dr. Suter were drawn up. The in- side of thegchurch has been draped with mourning. Rt. Rev. A. M. Randolph, bishop of the diccese of southern Virginia, assisted by Rev. Meade Clarke of Fredericksburg, Rev. S. R. Wallis of the Theological Seminary, Rev. Z.P. Phillipps of this city, and Rev. H. F. Kloman of Pohick, conducted the services. The remains were taken tc Washington on the 11:30 boat and interred in Oak Hill cemetery, Georgetown. In the Police Court.
