NEWPORT, Sent. G.--Thcrc is no spot on
tie coast from Florida to Msine where the sad
sea waves wash in upon 50 much elegance
beauty, fashion, and wealth, as Is concrcgntcd
/ here Mt Newport during the season. Though
the hotel is called Ocean House, only dry land
is visible from its pazzas. But cottage life
has SO entirely superseded hotel life that In
| point Of fact 1t matters very little where tho
hotel is situated just as the hotol thins out
| and prepares to close, toward the middle OF
| September the most charming period OF the
! Newport season commences.
September and October are by far the most
pleasant months Of the year; tho weather
ia cool, and adapts itself to all manner OF
field sports and out-of-door exercises. Rid
ing, walking, sailing, rowing and shooting are
now IN order. The cottages entertain each
other 10 a very different manner from that In
which they entertained the crowd which
| nockei here during the latter part OF July and
| August. Small, cosey dinners. high teas, pleas
| ant little cveinR parties, pcnlcs and moonlight
sailing parties, are tho order OF the day Tho
absence OF Mr.. August Belmonts family and
the great number OF families in mourniDg-the
d'Hauteville's, Keteltass, Mrs. Paran Stevens,
Mr.. Levi y. Morton's, Meredith Howland's,
| George p. Wetmores make the fall at
| Newport less gay than usual.

His pony rolled over him, ipJuring him
severely. IL was at first thought be would

his bed. What with knocking leach others

nothing OF such accidents a. that OF Satur-
day, polo PLAYERS will soon find It extreme
| ly ditiicult to get their lives insured except at
| the most exorbitant rates. The ponies have to
a man expressed their disapprobation OF tho
game In every conceivable form-rearing, kick
Ing, snorting plunelng and buckiumping-by
| which an intelligent pony can give expression to
his sentiments and feelings. They are indig-
nant at the daily baudaeing Of their legs before
| the sport commences.
We saw yesterday a little three-year-old girl
| whose nurse regularly assists at the polo
representations playing at polo Ia the par
lor. She tied couple Of pocket h, ndker-
chiefs around her legs aud pranced about the
room, crying cut constantly, "Mamma I'm u
pony. I'm a pony" We are not sure but the
little girl was more sensible than the grown up
players. Some i've young ladies. Miss Bennett,
Miss May (Nr. Benefits flnc6e). Miss Cooper
(eron ddaughter OF tine venerable Peter Cooper)
Miss French, and Miss Minnie Stevens daughter
OF Mrs. paran Stevens), play polo In the morning
at o'clock. They are all good riders, and mount
tho ponies fesressly. Miss May rides Mr.. Ben

great excellence.
