The note above doesn't make it clear, but Vernon Castle was serving as a captain in the Royal Flying Corps, teaching airmen to fly in Texas when his plane crashed.

Perry Belmont's wife is the former Miss Jessie Ann Robbins and had been married to Henry T. Sloane before her marriage to Belmont in April 1889. See NYT query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40614FC3E5811738... Vernon and Irene Castle were best known for their dancing, but Vernon Castle was also a polo fan.

Thanks so much for your research swanq. And yes, artolog, it appears as if the other photograph of Irene Castle was taken at this event given her dress and the way she is holding her pet monkey. We'll fill in the names in the caption the next time we update the record.
