I SAUNFERER'S NOTES 1
I must congratulate the reporters
who have been kept in this hot city dur
ing the past month, watching the front
and area doors of the residences of Mr.
R. T. Wilson, sr., and Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, sr., and camping, presuma
bly, upon the roofs of both houses to
peer, if possible, through the scuttles
interviewing the butlers and kitchen
maids and intercepting messengers,
postmen, and even the great R. T. Wil
son, sr., himself, on their exits and
entrances upon the fact that Mr. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, jr., and Miss Grace
Wilson have finally-been married. These
detectives may now take a well-earned
vacation, for I understand that Mr. R.
T. Wilson, jr., who i said to have won
Miss Garrison, will n.it be obliged to
abduct that young lady, and that not
only her mother, but herself, is willing
that she should contract a matrimonial
alliance with the last unmarried mem
ber of the Wilson family.
I recall the prophetic remark made at
the Waldorf by a well known society
woman, at the time of Mr. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, jr.'s. illness, to a friend who
had said that shu really believed Mrs.
others, a little less cautious, muttered,
"Well, it's their own business, anyway,"
but that not a few men and women, and
among these the most prominent in the
Newport set, said out loud some things
which, as one woman remarked, "would
have made even an elephant blush' It
can hardly be supposed that her smile
was based in any way upon Mi. Wilson,
sr.'s, impressive physical proportions,
but it appeared to meet, if my informant
it correct, with universal approval.
ANNOUNCEMENTS.

greatest enjojmentp, especially during
its winter season, is the theatre. And

John Griffith.
Cornelius Vanderbilt could now be
happy in the belief that her son's mar
riage with Miss Wilson was definitely
'off." "Ah, my dear, you do not know
the Wilsons." This 6aying, which I
mentioned in this column at the time,
has been echoed among New York fash
ionable people ever since, and the
woman who uttered it simply expressed
the general opinion of society as to the
certainty of a union between the joung
people. It is presumable that with the
marriage of their daughter to a member
of 'he house of Vanderbilt accom
plished. Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, who have
already made an alliance, through their
children, with the houses of Astor and
Goelet, do not ere very much for the
opinion of the rest of the society world
regarding the matter. I hear from
Newport, however, that when the news
of the marriage reached there it was
received at the clubs and at the dinners
of the evening, almost in silence; that
some shrugged their shoulders, and
on the pages of history "Richard III.
This, all will concede, is a more than
an ordinary undertaking, but there is
every reason to believe that he will suc
ceed. Having unbounded belief in his
ability and a lovt of work he will suc
ceed. Mr. Griffith's management premises
to surround this young star with a com
pany and a production seldom equalled.
Mr. Griffith's support are Miss Anna
Boyle, who was with Keene for eight
years and had an anprentiee&llip in New
York at the Union Square and Madison
Square theatres. Eugene Moore is a
graceful and impassioned "Faust" and
Mr. Griffith himself sas that Miss Tes
sie Stevens is the best "Martha" he ever
saw. Mr. Wonn plaed "Valentine"
with Morris last winter
On Friday night Mr. Griffith and
company will play "Richard J II." Mr.
Eugene Moore plays "Buckingham," in
which character he ba appeared a
thousand times with Mr. Keene. "Rich
ard III" is put on with a tremendous
amount of new scenery. No other pro
duction of the play has ever had so
much except Richard Manfield's pro
duction, and it had no more.
Mr. Griffith is very enthusiastic over
