Newport. r. l., May 20 (speciau.-The fashionable
season Of 1888 is very near at hand. On Juno the
entire Casino establishment will be wide open, but
the orchestra will not arrive until the first week In
july The Casino Club has been open since May 1.
but no business to speak of has been DONE and tho
receipts will not pay for the sweeping out Of tho
apartments The old clubhouse will take tho best
OF the trade during the summer and Its success ia
assured The sum Of $4,000 has been expended IA
improving and refurnishng the old clubhouse which
has the best Of the Casino owing to the fact that 10
Is kept open all the year round.
Tho italian hand organ brigade is here, and this Is
ono sure sign that summer is near at hand The cot
tagers are arriving daily, and busy times are ahead
for the local residents who however are not predict
Ing very brilliant season. Heretofore the tradesmen
have not been backward in "booming" the city. but
this year they plainly that only about onehaf Of
the cottages have been rented, and they view with
alarm the crowded steamers which are leaving New
York every week It is unfortunate for Newports
interests that many habtues are sailing for foreign
lands where the expense of living is not as largo as
Il Is claimed to be at the socalled fashionable
resorts. However, II is hoped that Newport will have
a fairly prosperous summer, but 1t must be admitted
that the outlook Is not especially encouraging But
few cottages have been rented Of late, and but very
small number have asked for the privilege Of In
specting "a cottage by the sea- The real estate
agents expect a few moro rentals, but they have not
raised their expectations to a very high pitch. The
time has passed for high rents and there has been .
significant reduction Of the prices set opposite tho
houses to remit 1t Is very gratifying, in view Of
this undesirable state Of affairs, to learn that about
two-thlrds II tho cottagers will occupy their own
houses during the season Of 1885,
Good weather has reached here at last and tho sun
has actually sbone for several days this week II
has been dull, cold, backward spring. and everybody
Is looking with interest b. the future which, IL is fer
vently hoped, will be full of promise, nothing more
