Capital Society Manifests Sporting Spirit in Period Devoted to the Horse Show Hunt Ball and Breakfast Conclude Notable Pro- gram.—Diplomats Halt Summer Plans -Awaiting Action at White House. BY SALLIE V. H. PICKETT. ASHINGTON society was in sporting spirit for four days last week while the National Capital Horse Show was in rogress, the well conceived finish for that event being the glunt Ball and Breakfast at the Mayflower, which started at 10 o’clock and closed after midnight. The Vice President’s sister, Mrs. Gann, attended the horse show throughout and enjoyed the mild pastime as much as does her illustrious brother the thrill of a wdip run race on a professionally laid track. Mrs. Gann had guest’s with her each day in the well placed center box, and the President’s cabinet members and their wives were some of them present each afternoon of the show. Vice President, with his sister and brother-in-law, is leaving his quarters in the Mayflower on June 1 for the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gann in Cleveland Park. They are temporarily weary of hotel life, and it was to this charming but unpretentious house that the Vice President went to live with his sister after the death of Mrs. Curtis some years ago. He likes trees and flowers and birds, and Mrs. Gann's small garden is rich in blossoms just now. LAST night the Vice President and Mrs. Gann opened the Hunt Ball with great ceremony, and within a week soclety will attend another big sporting ball—the annual o event—at the Willard, when horses in stalls at one end of the ball room will look out upon the revelers, b'eui)efl.ud by jeweled hands and fed bonbons. Maj. Gen. . E. Booth officially open the ball. He is the only officer of such high rank in the United States Army to serve as referee. The ball room will be decorated with saddles, bridles, crops, mallets and other implements used in the game, while there will be goal posts and other suggestions to transform the ball room inte a polo field. The members of the War Department polo team will wear their sporting togs. DIPLOMATB seem to view with complacency their inability to settle on Summer homes and leave the CA_Fxtal until the Presi- dent and Mrs. Hoover announce their plans. The late Spring pro- gram of the corps has been of unusual brilliancy, many large events already taking place, while still larger and more important affairs are yet to come. Tuesday afternoon the beautiful Cuban embassy | will be opened for an unusually auspicious occasion, when the Am- bassador and Senora de Ferrara will celebrate the twenty-eighth anniversary of the independence of the island. No host.g in the corps have ever more beautifully fitted into Washington’s social schéme than have Senor and Senora de Ferrara, and soclety deems it a special privilege to be invited to annually assist on this occa- slon. The Ambassador and Senora Ferrara have arranged a dinner party for tomorrow night. BEI’I‘ISH EMPIRE day will be suitably celebrated Saturday, and the Argentine national holiday falls on Sunday. The inter- vening days will be marked by dinners at many of the embassies and legations, the Ambassador of Italy, Nobile Giacomo de Martino and Nobil Donna Antoinette de Martino entertaining guests Friday evening, and the Minister of Panama and Senora de Alfaro will have the Vice President as a guest at dinner Thursday evening.
