PERSONALNOTES OF INTEREST “The rumber of June brides has been al- most as imposing as June graduates, and interest in their regard is by no means ex- hausted yet. There were severai very pret- ty weddings this week, both Tues@ay anil Wednesday providing spectacles of this de- scription, which entertained large gather- ings of friends. The Wallach-James wed- ding was solemnized with only nearest and dearest relatives and friends as witnesses, but the bride, who was so much admired upon her presentation to society a few sea- sons back, looked her prettiest. The James residence has been lately greatly improved by the addition of another room on the front, and the hall, which now divides the house, is spacious and bright. The house- warming was the wedding festivity, and the flowers, which were used in great pro- fusion, made a charming effect. coming week the wedding list seems a shor’ one, but the market will show an up- ward tendency for the last days in June, for which there are several interesting events dated. The marriage of Miss Fannie Lar- ner Moore to Mr. Herbert Guion Hopkins of California will take place at St. John's Church Wednesday evening, June 29, at 8 o'clock. Miss Mat arvis will be | maid of ho. or and there will b- Jour ir desn-aids, Miss Pre Miss Marion Trimble, iss Edith Pulsif Albert will be best man. T ceremony will be performed by Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith, rector of the church. Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Barnes of George- town have issued invitations for the mar- riage of their daughter, Miss Pauline Barnes, and Mr. Benjamin Wiison Wood- ruff. ‘he ceremony will take place at the residence of the bride’s parents on the evening of Wednesday, June 2. Mr. and Mrs. Leiter, just before their de- parture from the city for the summer, did what a good many pzople of much less in- come often wondered why they did not do before—purchased all the ground available aajoining their home on Dupont Cir Everybudy hopes it is for a garden, aud scmething out of the common in the line of landscap> effects. The little jungie of shrubs and bushes now in front of the tall columns are quite unique in their way. The Misses Le.ter were driving all spring aroand the country roads in an Irish Jaunting car, One of the few ever seen in this city, but they did not often venture down town ia it. It is understood that Mrs. Leiter and her daughters are going abroad as usual this summer and will not return until the au- tumnal dullness has passed over Wasning- ton. Just at present the family is enjoying their lovely home on Lake G:neva, where Mr. Letter and Mr. Joseph Leiter, the “heir of the house,” will also b> seen at inter- vals. Mrs. Leiter very naturally finds no pleasure in summer traveling to equal her iy visit with Mrs, @urzon and her two little daughters, and this keej taking part iz the gayeti>s of Newport life and dividing Chicago glory there with Mrs. Potter Palmer. There was a great deal of unnecessary conjecture last summer over the prospects of »irs. Palmer's return to New York, but, after having to deny the purchase of every large available property on the cliffs, she returned among the earliest this season and poured the hottest kind of shot in the enemy's camp, by entertaining Prince Al- bert of Belgium, who will in all probability be the only titled foreigner of any conse- quence we shall see this year. The reports of various arrivals are immediately fol- lowed by changes of plans, so that native lions. are apt to be the greatest attraction we can supply. Evidently Mrs. Palmer en- joyed the pleasure Newport offered last year. She was amorfig the last to leave it, and her early return is pretty good evi- dence that she intends to resume the hos- pitality which was her distinguishing charm last year. The Brices are also back at Beauneu, the Astor villa, and to all intents and purposes are regular New Yorkers now and are so recognized. Like a good many more Mrs. Brice and her daughters have missed their usual London visit this spring and for once the May drawing rooms were conspicuous by the absence of Americans. Of the new homes to be opened this sum- mer at Newport few are more striking than that of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Thaw of Pittsburg. It is at the end of Bellevue avenue, just in front of Spouting Rock Beach. It’ is in colonial style. The woodwork of the dining room is of black oak, the general style of the room being Elizabethan. The dainty reception room is of the Louis XIV pattern, and the draw- ing room of the same model. Mr. and Mrs. Thaw will be able to take possession of their new villa in two weeks. Mrs. Washington McLean, Mrs. Ludlow and Mrs. Hazen are all out of town for the season. Mrs. Ludlow is adding another to the collection of ball rooms, owned by her family in this city. The house that she bas recently bought on Lafayette square seemed large enovgh for all purpores of large entertainments when her mother, Mrs. McLean, used to live there, but the splendid proportions of the latter's re: dence at Connecticut avenue and K stree make the cther seem small, so Mrs. Lud- low is havirig a large room built at the rear, which will make the mansion ideal in its arrangements for the charming hos- pitalities of which she is always the cen- tral spirit. Mrs. Smith, wife of the Postmaster Gen- eral, is spendirg this month at Atlantic City. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Nelson Page have cosed their Washington house for the summer. and after a visit to Charlottes- ville, Va., will go to Bar Harbor for the season. Mrs. McGowan of Georgetown has is- sued cards announcing the marriage of her daughter, Miss Elizabeth McGowan, to Mr. Charles Rosewell Hall of New York. The wedding was cclebrated at the bride's home in the presence of her immediate relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Hall left at ones on a wedding trip, and expect to spend the summer in the Catskills. Their New York residence will be 122 Central Park west, where they will be at home after September 1 Mrs. Perry Heath has been visiting her mother, Mrs. Conway at Louisville, and is now at Muncie, Ind., visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew B. Graham have closed their 16th street house and are now with their family occupying their new and elegant residznce, “Fort Richardson,” Vir- ginia. Mrs. Raphael C. Gwynn and her two youngest sons will leave for Atlantic City in a few days. Her eldest son, Dr. Wiliiam C. Gwynn, has been appointed resident physician of the Georgetown University Hospital. Mrs. A. W. Allen of Leominster, Mass., F assistant surgeon “of th2 cruiser Newark, has returned from Norfolk, where she went on the occasion of the Newark going into commission, a few weeks ago. ‘Lhe Newark will replace the Montgomery as the flagship of th: bicckadirg before Havana, and is now lying in Hampton Roads await- ing sailing orders from Washington. DISTRICT NATIONAL. GUARD Arrangements for a Parade in Conjunctioo With Patriotic Societies. F rth of July Celebration the Occm sion—Col. May to Com: d—Inter- est im Rifle Practice. Arrangements have been made fora pa- rade of the District National Guard the 4th of July, in conjuction with the éemon- stration of the Sons of the American Re- volution and Sons of the Revolution, pat- riotic societies ef the District of Colum- bia, and for the first time since the de- rarture of the first regiment of volunteers from the city Waskingtonians will have a chance of seeing the strength and condi- tion of the reserves. The brigade will pa- rade under command of Col. May, the offi- cer left in charge by Gen. Harries, and it is predicted the stay-at-homes wi!! make a showing of which they may well be proud. It was decided to have this parade at a meeting of staff officers of the guard last night at headquarters. The mecting wes one of the most enthusiastic held since the reorganization of the guard was commenc- ed. The officers reported recruftm: progressing satisfactorily, while t panies are gradually rounding t of exe in drill. The para probably along Pennsylvania avenue and 1ith street, going to and returning from the monument, where a national sa- lute will be fired by the light battery under ut per. Col. May will head the parad panied by the members of the staff remaining in the city. Maj. R. Ross will be in command of the Ist Regiment and Capt. Benjamin H. Streeks of the 2d Regiment. depleted ranks of the two regiments have been litably filled in the short time following t dop- tion of the plan of reorganizazion, and the guard will turn out some 1,000 strong. Scores at Ordw: Interest in rifle practice among the guardsmen has been intensified as the time for the completicn of 1898 scores draws to a close. Maj. James E. Bell, in charge of this work, has had the various battal- ions in the rifle gallery at intervals since the Ist of June. Many of the men have been making excellent scores, and hope to Win either a marksman’s button or shooter's crozs. The rifle range way will open next Wednesday af! June 22, when the Ist Battalion will com- plete its scores. Dates have also been arranged for the other battalions, the en- gineer corps and the commissioned and non-commissioned staffs. —_—.—_—_ TROUBLE OVER AN AWARD. »m- general Burton Range. Sult Filed in Which ti Defendant. John B. Daish filed a bill in equity today against the District Commissioners and William M. Galt & Co. to restrain the city officials from awarding a forage contract to the other defendants, and also to require the award of ft to the complainant. The bill states that proposals for the forage were opened May 5 last, and that Daish’s bid of $16,616.20 was the lowest, the next above him being that of Galt & Co., $17,137.50. All bids were submitted to a board made up of O. L. Spaulding, assist- ant secretary of the treasury; Thomas Ryan, an assistant secretary of the Inte- rior Department, and P. 8. Heath, an as- sistant postmaster general, who are em- powered to recommend the acceptance or refection of any of the proposals. Complainant says he fas just been in- formed by the Commissioners, although the board nas made no recommendation, that they intend to award the contract to Galt & Co.
