Engaged. Cornelius Vanderbilt ('"Sonny") Whitney, 32, son of the late Sportsman Harry Payne Whitney and inheritor of his racing stable, onetime husband of the present Mrs. William Averell Harriman; and Miss Gwladys Crosby Hopkins, beauteous daughter of the late Mark Hopkins Jr. of Boston and Mrs. Stevens Heckscher of Philadelphia, and niece of the Marquise de Polignac of Paris...
Febrile, high-powered, insouciant is Reno, Nevada, divorce capital of the U.S. With rare abandon it orders its life, welcoming all comers: moody socialites, glittering cinemactresses, minor celebrities who will bring front-page space as did Cartoonist Peter Arno and Author Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. when they quarreled boyishly (TIME, June 29). Loving to be unique, Reno was pleased last week when there arrived in town Dr. Thomas Kiley Gorman, 38, first Roman Catholic Bishop of the new diocese of Reno, Nevada (TIME, Aug. 3). For Bishop Gorman is no run-of-the-mill prelate such as another State might...
...Vanitie, Resolute's rival in the 1920 trials. There were half a dozen Class M sloops-Walter Keith Shaw's Andiamo, sluggish in races the week before the cruise till her captain removed from her keel 100 ft. of lobster line and two lobster pots; Harold Vanderbilt's Prestige, Floyd Leslie Carlisle's Avatar, and Commodore of the New York Yacht Club Winthrop Williams Aldrich's Valiant, all with shiny new duralumin masts; and Chandler Hovey's wooden-masted Istalena.* There were four 40-footers, five 10-metre boats, two Seawanhaka schooners...

Commodore Aldrich succeeds Vincent Astor (who succeeded Harold Sterling ["Mike''] Vanderbilt) and will probably be succeeded, year after next, by Junius Spencer Morgan Jr. His fellow members have been pleased and amused by the crisp, business-like manner in which Commodore Aldrich conducts even such informal meetings as last fortnight's aboard the Viking...
Head of the syndicate which built and raced the cup-winning Enterprise last year. Skipper Aldrich was her navigator in the trials. He thinks her run against Yankee off Martha's Vineyard was "the greatest race of its kind ever sailed." In her races against Shamrock V. Skipper Vanderbilt sailed Enterprise but the Aldrich pennant, blue border and blue anchor on a white field, flew from her $40,000 mast. A better sailor than ex-Commodore Astor, Commodore Aldrich maintains no lavish steam yacht like the Nourmahal; his Wayfarer is a smaller but serviceable boat. Like ex-Commodore Vanderbilt...
