The hostesses were Mrs. G. Lathrop Bradley and Mrs. Hammond and Mrs. Alex. Legare and Miss Boardman did the honors of the tea tables. The fencing contingent of the club gave an exhibition of their skill. A very interesting exhibition between Prof. Darrialat and Mr. Cabot Lodge, jr., was followed by a clever bit of foil work by the professor and Mr. Richmond Stone, and a contest with broadswords, In which Mr. Henry M. Earle and Mr. Stone took part. Dancing followed and was largely enjoyed. The pleasant announcement was made that the hunt ball will be held Easter Wednes- day. Senator and Mrs. Sherman entertained at dinner Saturday night the British ambassa- dor and Lady Pauncefote, the German am- bassador and Baroness von Thielmian, the Chilean minister and Mrs. Gana, the Gua- temalan minister and Mrs. Lazo de Arriaga, the Japanese minister, Mrs. Grant, Senator and Mrs. Elkins, General and Mrs. Miles, Mr. and Mra.

The wedding of Miss Helen Steele to Ed- ward Gwynne of New York will take place on March 25. Miss Steele is the great-great- granddaughter of Justice Samuel Chase, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

The formal announcement of the engage- ment of Mr. Waiter Scott Hobart and 31 Hannah Neil Williams was made in § Francisco last week, but is of interest here as well. The young lady who has captured the young millionaire is the youngest daughter of Capt. W. W. Williams, pay d rector In the United States navy, at pri ent stationed in Washington. Miss Wil- Nams and her sister spent the past winter Season with their ancle, Gen. Forsyth, U. 8. A., at the Hotel Richelieu, but returned a few day to their ‘home in San spent the summer months at Monte as the guests of Gen. For: yth. Miss Williams is one of the noted society belles of the present season. She is only twenty years of age and a demi-blonde. She ts tall and graceful and has a paric- ularly striking face of refined beauty. She is highly accomplished and a brilliant mu- sician. Mr. Walter Hobart is the young prince of the fairy tale come true. He is a very gentlemanly, unassuming person, rather small, with a face of great retine- ment and composure. When he went to Harvard he had a suite of four rooms, comfortably furnished, with every conve- nience, and a faithful valet to care for him, with an income of $30,000 a year. One room was given over to his clothes. Since ho has come into his wealth he is famous for his generosity, and he has made many friends. He has probably the finest stable of horses on the Pacific coast. The wed- ding will probably take place at no distant date. Wonderful tales of Mr. Hobuart's splendid mauner of spending money and his fine stables are common gossip in Califor- mia. All this agreeable magnificence and prosperous money spinning takes it: in the big estate left by the late W. bart. He left two Walter, who obt: majority in March of last year. All three children then being ot age, the estate was distrib- uted in equal shares. It is away up in the n Two Important Subjects to Re Dis- Tomorrow Bvening. Two subjects of much importance tose citizens wil] receive attention at the ing of the board of trade to be held tomor- rcw evening at the Builders’ Exchange, be- &inning at 1:30 o'clock—tne extension of the water supply. and cheaper and better gas end electric light. After routine matters have been disposed of the floor will be taken by the committee on water supply, whcse annual report submitted to the board in November last will be discussed. In addition to this, a special report from the same committee will be presented for con- sideration, bearing on the subject of the urgent need of the extension of the water supply by the completion of the so-called Lydecker tunnel and Howard University reservoir, as provided for in the joint reso- lution now pending in Congress (8. R. No. $4). The subject will be clearly presented to the board by gentlemen well qualified to speak of the needs of the District in this respect. The second question of the evening will be cheeper and more satisfactory light, “hich will come before the board in the re- Port of the special committee on gas and electric light rates, which was laid before the beard of trade in October last. In this connection the bill now before Congress GH. R. 694) commonly known as the dol- lar gas bill will doubtless come in for no smal share of attention, while the phase of the subject involving municipal ownership of the lighting plants will also probably be touched upon to some extent, THE W —__ OLE FAMILY. Wm. Pinkney Made a Wholesale As- Oo sault. Emma Dobson, colored, and her son, John, are in bed at their home, in Murray's Bot- tom, not far from the sixth police station, suffering from wounds on their heads, while William Pinkney, also colored, ts charged with having inflicted the wounds. William, it is charged, was a guest of the Dobsons, where he called on a daughter of the woman, and when some objection was made to language he used there he made an eifort to whip the whole family and take possession of the neighborhood. Mra. Dobson was struck with fron wrench, when she had been disabled and the s t, he used a pitcher on the son's “police” and “murder” were heard several squares away, and the whole neighborhood was aroused. Policeman Hayes responded to the out- cry and arrested Pinkney on @ charge of murderous assault. The Dobsons were sent to the hospital for treatment, and were af- terwards sent home. Pinkney will be given a hearing when Mrs. Dobson is able to ap- pear in court, nw A Spring Display. Notwithstanding the inclement weather, the spring opening of S. Kann, Sons & Co., at their handsome store, corner of 8th street end Market space, has attracted a large crowd of appreciative shoppers. In the opening a specialtyis made of ladies’ mil- linery, and there would seem to be an end- less display of attractive bonnets, hats, tur- bans and toques, trimmed and untrimmed, of a quality and style certain to please the most fastidious taste. The rooms on the second floor, where the opening is in pro- gress, are prettily deccrated with a pro- fusion of palms and flowers and offer a de- lightful contrast to the gloom and :aist out- side. The opening will last through tomor- row and Wednesday, and will well repay « visit from those who are interested in spring styles of millinery. i American Draftamen. Articles incorporating the Association of American Draftsmen have been filed here by W. T. Jones, Sidney I. Besseliene, Geo. P. Frothingham, W. T. Powell, A. M. P. Maschmeyer and Arthur B.
