Narragansett Pier, r. l.. July 20 (SpeciaD'-Ihe
Saturday and Wednesday evening hops at the Casino
are the leading social events of Pier life so far TINS
season. Some of the hotelkeepers and many of ther
patrons regard the Casino drawback TO true social
enjoyment Many prefer the good old times when each
hotel We'd with the other in providing entert anments
and when an orchestra located In almost every
one and dancing was almost Of nightly occurrence
The present plan Of having the Casino the centre OF
all social festivities removes much work and respon
sbiity from the shoulders of the landlords, Dut IN
creases the expense of summer outing at the Pler
and robs hotel life of of its charm. Many
people have not the money and the inclination to
associate on equality with the hghhyers from the
cottages who dominate the Casino, apd consequently
they stay away. As there is little going on al the
hotels they soon tire of the place and go to Watch
Hill the mountains, where there IS less formally
and more sociabillty. Yet the Casino is a great IN
stuton, and forms grand ralying place for the moro
ambitious elements of society," and probably has done
much to elevate the tone Of Narragansett and bring
IL nearer the Newport standard
