Newport r. l.. July "a (SpeciaD.-During the last
week Goa. and wood fires have burned brightly at
the hotels. and topcoats and wraps have been IN
demand. Nearly all the cottagers have arrived, and
arrivals and departures OF yachts are noticeable
Many Of the yacht-owners are cottage residents;
hence Newport is the headquarters for their sailing
craft during the fashionable season. Some OF the
yacht-owners with limited cottage facilities do all
their entertaining on board Of their yachts. The
yacht-owners and their crews spend money free.y
and they boon TO the Local business men. on
one OF the wharves is located Of the stations OF
the New-York zach; Club. The building Is gem
OF modern architecture and It is favored with every
needed convenience. The New-York Yacht Club
has not a more attractive station than the at
Newport
From a social point OF view Newport IS painfully
quiet, diversions being confined to womens lunch
cons and dinner parties. This week there

Of the day. Semi-weekly dances take place at the
Casino. but thus far less than fifty people have
made their appearance at the pretty white and gold
decorated dance hall. The musicians play bcwitch-
Ing waltzes and lively pokas to practically de-
serted hall. The orchestra gives daily morning
concerts the horseshoe piazza. but the people
for whose benefit they hired at a great
pense have not yet appeared. The Sunday
night concerts are successful. the admission

have taken kindly to the Sunday night
certs at the Casino. and the mass Of people are In
full control Lively. II not strictly. Sunday music
is rendered and the patrons feel that they are
wonderfully favored and that the concerts are
practically for their exclusive benefit. The clergy
men do not look with favor upon the Sunday night
concerts but thus far they have been unable 10
stop them.
