Van Wyck Rossiter, in dark red broadcloth; Mrs. John J. Hinchman, in light gray broadcloth; Mrs. Sherwood Hard, blue canvas cloth with large white picture hat. and Mrs.

William Alexander Smith, junior, in long tan coat with black picture hat. In the evening the horse show ball took place at the The Hungarian orchestra which played during the exhibition provided the music for the dance, which was participated in by about' one hundred and twenty-five people. AST week's tournament at Baltusrol for the woman's na-L tional golf championship was the occasion of much enter-, taining at Short Hills and the neighboring New Jersey towns. The delightful weather was a considerable factor in making the event such a success and in furthering interest in the game, each day bringing out a large number of spectators, who followed the players with keenest enthusiasm. Miss Genevieve Hecker, this year's winner of the women's metropolitan golf championship, was overwhelmed with congratulations for capturing the still greater honor, the national championship, while Miss Lucy Herron, of Cincinnati, the runner-up, was warmly complimented for the good fight she made.

It is rather a significant fact that although Brooklyn possesses a number of excellent golfers, only one, Miss Grace Ellis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Ellis, of 832 President street, entered in the tournament. Ellis represented the Deal Golf Club, but, despite her capture of innumerable silver cups at various local tournaments, she was unable to qualify.

AT the residence of the bride's parents, 1 138 Dean street, Miss Margaret Edith Stearns, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Stearns, was married, on Wednesday evening, to Mr.

Johannes Bruyn, son of Mrs. C. D. Bruyn, of 102 Lefferts place. It was a quiet wedding, followed by a small reception, but was extremely pretty in all its details.

The color scheme of the decorations was pink and white. Rev. Henry Mesier, assisted by Rev. Henry Bicker, an uncle of the groom, performed the ceremony. The bride was very attractively gowned in white liberty crepe, trimmed with a collar of point lace.

She wore the customary veil and carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley and orchids. Her only ornament was a pearl and diamond pendant, the gift of the bridegroom. Miss Bessie Stearns, attired in cream-colored net, appiiqued with pink roses, and carrying a bouquet of pink roses and lilies of the valley, acted as maid-of-honor. Mr. Charles De Witt Bruyn attended the bridegroom as best man, J)ut there were neither bridesmaids VEVER has Morristown enjoyed a more prosperous season IN than the current one, society taking the keenest interest in all sorts of amusements, both indoors and out.

The beautiful autumn weather which prevails is more conducive to golf and coaching than to formal entertaining; still, there are a number of well-known people who are giving weekly dinner parties, notably the H. McK Twomblys, the Hermann Behrs, the George Kips and the Gustav Kissels. The Horse Show, which was a distinct success, both from a social and sporting standpoint, was marred by the accident to the ever-popular Mr. Richard Newton, junior, who sustained painful injuries during the judging of the sporting tandem class, by having his horse fall with him on jumping over the "pig-pen," which was one of the tests. Mr.

Newton pluckily remounted, however, and jumped the horse out again, winning the second prize. He then fainted and had to be carried to his home in an ambulance. Among the judges was Mr. Robins Woodward, of this bor-' ough, whose expert horsemanship and thorough knowledge of a horse's points is so well known that he is in constant demand at the different shows. He will also act as judge at the coming exhibition at the Madison Square Garden.

AMONG the winners of blue ribbons at the Morristown Horse Show were Mr. E. T. H. Talmage, who took first prize for saddle horses with his bay gelding, Pelham, and first prize with the same horse in the class for combination harness and saddle horses; Mr.

Charles Pfizer, junior, who, among other firsts, won in the class for middleweight hunters and in that for polo ponies; Miss Lula Pfizer, who captured the silver cup offered by Mr. M. V. B. Davis and Mr.

J. W. A. Davis, in the tandem class for women drivers Mr. H.

McK. Twombly and Mr. Robert Stevens. The box-holders included many well known people, notably Mr. H.

McK. Twombly, Mr. William J. Romaine, Mr. Marmaduke Tilden, Mr.

A. R. Whitney, Mrs. Whitney, Mr. A.

H. Vernam, Mr. Thomas Bushnell, Mr. Charles Pfizer, junior, Mr. Charles Scribner, Mr.

John Claflin, Mr. Hermann Behr, Mr. Louis Thebaud, Mr. F. E.

Dodge and Mrs. Frederic Bell. The show was followed by the most elaborate dinner dance of the season. The clubhouse presented a gala appearance, being beautifully decorated with the wild flowers which abound in the surrounding country Dinner was served at a hundred small tables, which had been engaged over a week ahead. The dance was a perfect crush, but heartily enjoyed, none the less.

Of the out-of-town guests at Morristown, none has received more attention than Miss Lucy Hayes Herron, of Cincinnati, the runner-up in the tournament at Baltusrol last week. Miss Herron is the, guest of Mrs. William Shippen, and, being a very pretty girl as well as an enthusiast in all out-of-door sports, is a decided acquisition to the life of the place. ALTHOUGH little heralded, the horse show held last week, Saturday, at Center Island, proved a great success, so great, in fact, that what was tried merely as an experiment, bids fair to become an annual event. The entries included only the horses and traps belonging to the summer residents at Center Island, Oyster Bay, Glen Cove, Locust Valley and Lattingtowh, so that the show was essentially a private affair, There was no grand stand, the spectators nearly all remaining in the carriages in which they drove over.

These, together with a number of smart four-in-hands, parked together, added greatly to the scene, from a pictorial standpoint. The idea of holding the show originated with Mr. George Bullock, while the gentlemen aiding him were Mr. George M. Fletcher, Mr.

Walter Owen, Mr. Charles W. Wetmore, Mr. D. Le Roy Dresser and Mr.

Colgate Hoyt. The judges were Mr. J. T. Hyde and Mr.

F. S. Hastings. Between the morning and afternoon sessions luncheon was served at the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club, a break in the day which proved particularly delightful. THE exhibitors included Mr.

George E. Fahys, who won two red ribbons, one in the four-in-hand driving contest and the other with his team, Spider and Fly; Mr. Howard W. Maxwell, who showed his Honey Boy to a very smart two-wheeled cart Mr. Percy Chubb, who won a blue ribbon with his chestnut gelding in the men's saddle horse class; Mr.

Thomas Leeming, junior, who exhibited his saddle horse Tristan in the same class Mr. F. P. Moore, Mr. Colgate Hoyt, Mr.

W. Crittenden Adams, Mr. W. D. Guthrie, Mr.

Paul" D. Cravath, Mrs. Irving Cox, Miss Renee Coudert and Mrs. George Bullock. Among the spectators I noticed Mr.

and Mrs. Leonard J. Busby, Miss Busby, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas L.

Leeming, junior, Mr. and Mrs. Frank S. JSmithers, Mr. and Mrs.

Howard W. Maxwell, Mr. and MrsT Paul Mr. and Mrs. Frederick R.

Coudert, Miss Renee Coudert, Miss Clarisse Coudert and Mr. and Mrs. Parker D. Handy. NYACK'S horse show, last week, Saturday, also scored a signal success.

Beginning at ten o'clock in the morning, it continued until late in the afternoon, a large and interested crowd of spectators witnessing the judging. Among the prizewinners was Mr. Van Wyck Rossiter, who captured three silver cups, one, valued at fifteen dollars, in the class for ladies' pairs; another, valued at the same, in the class for horse and nor ushers. GENERAL and Mrs. Horatio C.

King and Miss Mabel King, of Willow street, spent last week at the Pan-American Exhibition, where, in the Temple of Music, General King delivered an address before the Medal of Honor Legion, of which he is a member. Other recent visitors at the Exposition include Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Moody and Miss Moody, of Seventh avenue Mrs. John Richmond, Miss Emily 0.

Richmond and Mr. Eugene M. Richmond, of Bayswater, and Mr. William Foreman, of Freeport, L. I..
