"GOFF, HERBERT, M.D., Glenville, Waterford, Ireland, owns a lo-horse Panhard, 12-horse Napier, and 21-horse De Dion tricycle. Is a fox- hunter, and regards automobilism as the future means of locomotion. Clubs: Kildare Street tDublinf, Bath, New Oxford and Cambridge, and Authmobile." From www.gracesguide.co.uk/1903_Motorists

I could be wrong, but I think the "exuberant dress" is actually an early motoring costume. See some of the photos here for example.

Before/during 1923? If it's the same Herbert and I think it is, Lady Goff was described in the Evening Herald of 17 April 1925 as: ... Lady Goff is the widow of Sir Herbert Goff, Bart., who died in 1923, and mother of the present baronet. She is a daughter of the Right Hon. Sir C. Stewart Scott, G.C.B. Miss Goff is her only daughter. [I know they're described as Mr. & Mrs. by A.H. Poole, rather than Lord and Lady, but another mention I found in the Irish Independent 15 March 1916 speaks of "Mrs. Herbert Goff, wife of Capt. Herbert Goff, heir to Sir William Goff, Bart." so presumably Mr. and Mrs. Goff and Lord and Lady Goff are the same people?]

At a June 2, 1914, ceremony at Columbia University's School of Journalism during Commencement Week, where they witnessed the unveiling of Partridge's statue of Thomas Jefferson, presented to the University by New York publisher Ralph Pulitzer. McAneny was one of the speakers on that occasion. Other Bain/LOC photos of the unveiling ceremony:
