There are three young women who
Will probably be introduced at Newport
this season. In whom there is great in
| terest. They are Miss Sybil Sherman.
| Miss Virginia Fair and Miss Elsie Clews,
all wealthy In their own right, with
| more in prospect. all nice looking girls,
| and all well educated and sensible. In
the matter Of money. Miss Fair. no doubt.
| taxes the lead. having many Millions
1 which she inherited from her mother.
! and having the prospect of stIll more
from her father. She is dark and sen-
| der. somewhat petite. and altogether
very nice young woman. Mr.. and Mrs.
Oeirichs the latter Miss Fairs sister,
are occupying the Bancroft house, which
they purchased at Newport two years
ago. And there Miss Fair will be in
troduced. Miss Clews will have a ball
given for her at the big cottage Of her
father. Banker Clews, and 1t win be an
event long to be remembered. Miss
Sherman is cousin Of the Countess OF
Craven. Her mother was sister of
Ex-Governor Peabody Wetmore, and upon
her death left Miss Sybil Sherman an
immense fortune. Mr.. Sherman's Sc
cond wife, formerly Miss Brown. OF
providence. Is also very rich. There
are certainly excellent chances for three
men OF title to carry off three rich and
lovely girls. but as they are all girls of
good sense, 1t is possible that they will
prefer American young men. When IL
was enormously announced few months
ago that Miss Fair was TO marry a GER
tain nobleman who was visiting this coun-
Try, Miss Fair was most indignant, and
said the Americans were good enough
for her.
His Highness. the Grand Duke Alex
ander. of Russia, cousin to His Imperial
Majesty, the Car of Russia, has re-
turned to New York, on board the Rus
Sian fiag-ship Dimtri Donskoi Once
more he Will be dined and wined. and
will have a chance TO meet a few more
of the bellies and matrons and beaux of
that city. To do this. however. he will
have to take dozen or more trips to the
Long Island places the Tuxedo cottages,
and run up the Hudson now and then.
On Tuesday next General and Mrs But
terfeld will entertain the Grand Duke at
Luncheon at Craigside, their beautiful
country establishment, at Cold SPRING
on-the-Hudson, and something very fine
may be expected II il is half so elab-
Paris and the Due d'Orieans and a party
OF a few years ago, IT will open the eyes
of even His Highness, the Duke.
Tuxedo Park is right dull at present,
the recent gayeties, now that they are
over. making ii appear all the Quieter
by comparison. The tennis tourney was
a great success, inasmuch as it brought
life to the picturesque colony, and gave
the cottagers a chance to entertain the
members of the various house parties
in another manner than by driving,
riding boating, or dancing at the club
house. With the end OF the 4th Of
July gayeties, the season came TO an end
at the Park, and now there Will be
nothing doing until the autumn. Many
of those who are at their cottages for the
early summer leave about this period
for Newport or other watering places.
and do not show up again until the au-
tumn. 1t is hoped that the coaching
season at the park will be as successful
as last years. for Il never falls to bring
gayety 10 the place.
One house IN Scotland Is not enough
for Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. and
so they have taken q second one about
two miles from Cluny Castle. their pres
ent abode. Crsig-dhu-House. their new
IS on the banks of Loeb
Ovic. and hard by the rocky recesses
where Prince Charlie took refuge after
the battle Of Culoden. It is a most I,
spot, and Mr.. Carnegie has |
long wished 10 rent II. With Cluny |
Castle and Craig-dnu-House, the Carne- |
giles will be able 10 do considerable en- |
tertaining and as they are never so |
happy as when making Others happy. |
they will be able 10 do that latter |
thing now TO a degree that will make |
their own cup Of contentedness overflow.
Alr. Carnegie. who each season goes off |
with a party on an extended coaching |
trip, will this summer visit the valley |
Of the Wye and the charming western |
counties OF England. Mrs Carnegie,
who was so Ill last winter, has now en-
tirely recovered her health.
