The sudden fall from popularity
in Inglaad of Ted Sloane, the
jockey, because of his imputation
of unfairness upon the part of the
dandown Park judges is made re
markable by the amount of spaee
being given to the affair by the
English newspapers. Sloane ia
now declared to bo unworthy to
ride the Prince of Wales’ horse for
the Cambridgeshire stakes, and
some of the papers recommend the
withdrawal of his license.

Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., and
Wife Haue Taken
OCOEN SOELET MANSION-
Will be Backed by The Wilson
Faction at Least.
New York, Oct. 29.—For the
first time since their marriage,
which stirred socitly profoundly
Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vander
bilt, Jr., are about to establish
themselves in tho very citadel
of the Four Hundred, housed as
proudly as any family in New
York.
| Throughout the season, now
at its dawn, the young couple
will occupy the lordly establish
ment of Mrs. Ogden Goelet, at
Fifth avenue and Forty-eighth
street. There, with the finest pri
vate ballroom in town at their
command, they will dispense
costly hospitality to their
friends.
»If is well understood that ten
der relations have been re-estab
lished between father and son ;
but hitherto there has been no
evidence of Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt, Jf., being included ir.
the family love feast
Shrewd students of the situa
tion believe, however, that the
invalid head of the house of
Vanderbilt has deferred such a
manifestation only in order that
it may be made more unequivo
cal .
And the establishment of tbe
young couple in the Goelet resi
dence will afford an opportuni
ty for just the kind of formal
recognition foieshadowed by the
gossips. Mr. and Mrs. Corneli
us Vanderbilt, Jr., will at least
be entrenched in a stronghold
of the Wilson faction of the
Four Hundred—the family of
the younger Mrs. Cornelius Van
derbilt—with the Astors, the
Goe'ets, Wilsons and others as
allies.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., has
made such a splendid impres
sion on his father by taking a
place as assistant engineer in
the mechanical department of
; the New York Central system,
I meaning thus to familiarize
himself with the railroad busi
ness in ail its branches, that all
the talk now is of peace and it
is not thought that a social war
is about to begin.

Brother Jack— ‘ Either I’ve
fattened or my dress suit has
shrunk since last winter.” Sis
ter Ethel—“ Shrunk, I have no
doubt; I heard you tell Tom you
had it in soak all summer.”
“Saw you on a weighing ma
chine this afternoon,” said the
Cheerful Idiot; “were you think
ing of auicide?” “Suicide?” re
peated the typewriter boarder.
“Yes ; doing a weigh with your
self. ’’—lndianapolis Journal,
“Look here,” si-id the barber
to the restless man in the chair,
“if yon don’t keep still I’m
liable to cut yonr throat.” “Oh, 1
I’m not afrafd of that,” replied
the helpless victim, “as long as
you continue to use that razor.’’
