PICKETT. cial standpoint in the early season, affairs may be said tg be very well launched socially, and yesterday with a large | party of distinguished persons including the First Lady of | the Land, on board the Apache, the nifty revenue cutter placed at | his disposal for viewing the President Cup races, the season was truly launched, both nautically and socially speaking. | IT looks very much like the historic Potomac, the factor that figured ; most with the first President in selecting a site for the capital, | might yet come into its own. While shallow waters prevent the | anchering of poses—guests on board the official boat, the ndota, on the days of the regatta were unable to see the happenings with any degree of satisfaction—the rivers and harbors committee may be brought to think that charity begins at home, and give the beautiful stream a deeper and wider channel. TILL with a few disappointments the scene on both days of the regatta was brilliant, and there is a hope that with patience and further work on the great waterway that adds so much to the beauty of Washington, the boat races may come to be a national event annually. In no other city in the United States can so large a com- pany of distinguished persons be gathered to witness an event, and yesterday not only the President and Mrs. Hoover and their party were oniookers, but also the Vice President, Ambassadors and Min- | ll}.eu from foreign countries and many others who figure in national e, WHEN the President reviews a public procession from an offi- | HE President and Mrs. Hoover took with them to their fishing | camp in Virginia late yenerdli afternoon one of the largest parties yet to accompany them on their rugged journey. The scene on the Apache, the revenue cutter held in readiness for the Presi- dent’s use, was interesting indeed before their departure, tea being served between visions of the racing boats. 'TH the debutante season nearing, it is pleasant to know there will be at least one cabinet debutante this year, Miss Gertrude Lamont, daughter of the Secretary of Commerce d Mrs. Robert Patterson Lamont. Mrs. Lamont and her daughter, who are now on their farm in Wisconsin, will spend some time at their home in Evanston, Iil, before coming to Washington, but there is every assurance that Miss Lamont’s coming out will be an early event as she returns here with her mother at the end of October. Tmt will as usual be two sets of debutantes or perhaps a third this season, one including the official girls like Miss Lamont and Miss Cynthia Davis, another set with more local girls, who affiliate with the diplomatic corps and smarter soclety and the buds of local society set, of which there are a score, many of them being descend- ;ata, of the oldest families of America, men who made American ry. ASHINGTON is always replete with interesting things, each day marking off events of far more than local interest. For instance today is the Independence day of the Central American republics and the s of Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Sal vador will fly over their legdtions, because it is the anniversary of throwing off the Spanish yoke in 1851. Tomorrow the Independence day of Mexico will be celebrated. Wednesday the Chilean Independ- ence.day and as if to ceiebrate them en masse, the director general of the Pan-American Union, Dr. Rowe, will be host at a concert, when Latin-Ame music, with the United States Navy Band accom- glny:%. make up the program. The concert, with guests admitted y card, will be at 8 o'clock in the Pan-American Union, and if the weather is.fair and fit, the beautiful plaza will' accommodate them. W, b 4 Comdr.
