FASNIONABLE SOCIETY HAS & WEL- COME SENSATION, The Prospective Vanderbilt-Marlborough Wedding—Perry Belmont Again Into Politics—Another Yacht Contest im Pros- pect—American Athletics. Special New York Letter. Fashionable New York is not greatly surprised at the announcement of the *ngagement of the young Duke of Marl- orough to Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, the taughter of Mr. and Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, whose matrimonial troubles -he public is fgmiliar with. The engage- ‘nent has for some time been foreshad- owed. Mra. W. K. Vanderbilt has ar- vived in town, and is busily engaged in rutting (n order the new residence on the corner of Madison avenue and Seventy- second street, purchased by her last year. The house is not an especially imposing me. It ‘will be remembered that Mrs. Vanderbilt purchased it after declining che magnificent mansion at Fifty-second street and Fifth avenue conferred on her oy her husband. Rumor is busy in many ways regarding shis notable wedding. Among all the al- lances of American women with Euro- pean nobles, none have approached near- er the throne of power than this of the great-granddaughter of Cornelius Van- Aerbilt. There {is a certain propriety, after all, in this wedding. The original Duke of Marlborough was a self-made Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt. man. He was plain John Churchill, and was born without title or prospects. He ‘Was as great a man in his day as Commo- dore Vanderbilt was in his. He won a fortune and a dukedom by intrigue and his sword, just as Vanderbilt won a for- tune by his financial genius. He gained the dukedom by thevictory of Blenheim, one of the greatest and most tmportant {n English history. It was for that vic- tory that the British Parliament erected for John Churchill at Woodstock, near Oxford, the princely mansion. of Blen- heim House, the present home of the bridegroom-elect. That homestead cost the English Government the snug sum of $2,500,000—and in those days that meant a great sum of money. The present Duke of Marlborough is the tenth in descent from John Church- ill. He came into his title on the death of his father in November, 1893. Besides being Duke of Marlborough, he is Mar- quis of Blandford, Earl of Sunderland, Earl of Marlborough, Barpn Spencer of Wormleigh, Baron Churchill of Sand- ridge, Prince of the Holy Roman Em- pire and Prince of Mindelheim in 6uabia. He was born November 13, 1871. He made his first speech in the House of Lords on August 15 last, on which ocea- sion he had the distinction of making the formal address of the peers in reply to the Queen’s speech. So great a distine- tion had never before been conferred on one so young, and according to the re- ports of the event the service was dis- charged with great credit. As matters stand in Europe, there is no title not a princely one greater than that of the Duke of Marlborough. The young lady whom this powerful noble has sought in marriage is less than eighteen years of age. She is an heiress of many millions, but is not the greatest of American heiresses. She is a very ac- complished and beautiful young woman. Not too deeply absorbed in the passion for dress, she is nevertheless tasty in her attire and always becomingly gowned and decorated. Her education has been mainly conducted under private tutors. She is fond of all sorts of athletic exer- cises suitable for girls. She is parttcular- ly proficient in riding, fencing and golf- ing. In fact, in the last named accom- Pplishment she has taken an advanced Position, while in fencing she has long been without an equal in her set. She has black hair inclined to curl, dark gypsy eyes and a clear, creamy complex- fon. Ever since her graduation from the nursery she has enjoyed great freedom. She has her own apartments, beautifully furnished, in the great house her mother occupies, and with a maid of her own she enjoys her liberty as fully as any reign- ing belle of mature years. Though not formally “brought out” Miss Consuelo Duke of Mailborougn. fas been a prominent figure in Newport society during the past season. It is be- lieved that the wedding will in many re- spects surpass in detail any preceding event of the kind in this city. The reappearance of Perry Belmont in active politics in connection with the late Democratic State Convention is attract- ing attention. Mr. Belmont had a short and brilliant career in Congress a few years ago. Doubtless, his youth rather than his ambition militated against his upward career at the time. He is still a young man, on the sunny side of life’a prime, and with the experience of society, and pleasure that neturally fits a man of keen intellect for a more active career. There are many inducements to lead him forward on the road of political ambition, and he undoubtedly has the ability and address to make a career, if he cares for it. To say that the members of the New. York Yacht Club are happy would be to faintly describe their feelings over the prompt receipt of a new English chal- lenge for the America cup, made under circumstances that convey a flattering epproval of the course of the club in the tecent provoking controversy with Lord Dunraven.. The new challenger for the America cup is Charles D. Rose, son of Sir John Rose, of London, and a mem- ver of the Prince of Wales’s set. The challenge is made through the Royal Vic- toria Yacht Club, of which the heir to England's throne is a member. To the mind of the average New York sporting crank, it looks very much as if John Bull, after getting full details, was now quite as much disgusted with Dunraven’s ac- tion as the most patriotic American has been. At any rate, we are to have a race next year for the cup, and on our own terms. The new challenger is a very dif- ferent man from Lord Dunraven, who was always quibbling for terms, and in- ferentially throwing doubt on the fair- ness of the American yachting rules and courses. Mr. Rose asks no terms what- ever. He leaves everything to the Amer- ican Cup Committee. He is willing to sail anywhere and under any conditions we name. If this is not true sportsman- ship, and a thorough compliment to American honesty, it would be hard to find them. Mr. Rose challenges with a cutter of 89 feat on the water line. It bears the un- euphonious name of “Distant Shore.” This means a vessel of the same size as the Defender. The English yacht is to be built by Designer Soper, of Lofdon, who has turned out some good heavy sea boats. There is no doubt that the new English boat will be very much such a boat as our own Defender. It is rumored that the English are now prepared to spend a big pile of money to win the cup in a fair fight. It is very probable that we will depend upon the Defender. Shrewd yachtsmen believe that she can be tuned up to go so fast next year that it will be practically impossible to build @ boat to beat her. But some of our best yachtsmen thought the same thing of the Vigilant. Nat. Herreshoff may have some new ideas in that remarkable cra- nium of his. It may be that some of our Perry Belmont. rich young men will induce Designer Lewis Nixon to try his hand upon a speedy yacht. It is doubiful if anybody else would care to compete with the Her- ceshoffs. | The remarkable success of American athletes in the recent events at Manhat- tan Field have not ceased to be a matter of lively gossip. It is some years since that a shrewd observer called Americans the “modern Greeks.” We are disposed at the present time to lead the world not only in originality and invention, but in manly sports of all kinds. In swiftness, dexterity and muscle, our athletes show equal ability. In fact. it is the general range of their qualities that give our champions their victories. But, after all, we are a very mixed people. There was English, Irish, Welsh, Scotch, German and Italian blood represented in our ;champion team, all improved, of course, by birth or residence in the free air of our glorious country. MILTON S. MAYHEW. “Watch Me!” “Hi, Chimmy, see de mug soakin’ his head!” yelled a street urchin at the corner of West and Barclay streets re- vently. ‘Watch me!” yelled Jimmy, another urchin, and he came down the etreet full tilt. The man soaking “his head was a truck driver. He was hold- ing his head under a pump and was pumping at the same time. On came Jimmy. He was barefooted and made no noise. He was also bare-headed and ragged. wo feet in the rear of the truckman he rose up and dived head foremost. He struck the truckman head-on just back of the hips. There was a wild yell, a kerplunk, and a big splash of water in the trough under the pump. The truckman was at the bottom. Jimmy was in the trough, too, but he was on top. There was a slash- ing of legs and arms, Jimmy slid out and scudded up the street. The truck- man came up splut-ering and cursing. He saw Jimmy scudding. The handiest thing to throw was a watermelon. It ; Was a big one. The truckman grabbed iit and succeeded in hurling it twenty {feet after the scudding Jimmy, who was twenty yards away. As he threw jit the truckman started to run. The an who owned the melon grabbed im. Jimmy’s companicn started to un too. He reached the melon, which |had broken in four pieces, with a hop, skip, and a jump, and gathered up the fragments. Then he scudded after Jimmy. The truckman stopped and cursed. The owner demanded pay for the melon, and finally compromised on half value. The truckman shook him- self, climbed on his wagon, whipped up his horse, and started down ti.e street in the direction the urchins had gone. There was no report of a boy killed during the day, and it is not believed that he caught them.—New York Sun. Spontaneous Combustion.
