p0rtunity to enthusiastic seirtn1ogists and other
scientific persons, who it may expected Will at

The morning mails from New-York have never
been able to reach the beautiful city of Newport
until the middle Of the afternoon. In other direc
tions from this city there Is very much earlier
delivery, For instance the early fast mail train
on the New-YOrk Central delivers the New-YOr
morning papers and letter mails every day of the
week to towns $50 miles away before a. IN. The
time of arrival at Newport has always been 2:3O
p. m. In 1888. The TRIBUNE by its own private
enterprise showed that it practicable to get
each mornings TRIBUNE into Newpor c1ch day by
1880 p. m; and last year the delivery was I'M
proved. that the paper reached Newport regular
y little before / o'clock. Special expresses were
run to accomplish this. They were very expensive,
but they showed what could be done, and now, at
last. the transportation companies of the bay have
been walked up. and they going to show, this
year, what they can do. The Wexford boat will,
beginning on Monday next, June -, and cOntlnu-
ing until November l, make two extra trips every
day. ono of them being expressly TO forward the
Early morning mails from New-York City to New
BORT without delay The result will be that all the
Ncw-York morning papers and the letter mails Will
reach Newport by p. H. daily. Mr.. Warren man
agcr of the Wexford Lin" Is to be heartily com
nendcd for his enterprise; and il is hoped that the
Post ONCE officials here Will make full use of the
new fac tiles.
