From Our Regular Correspondent.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
NEWPORT, Aug. 30.-There was game
OF baseball at Morton Park, yesterday
afternoon, between two colored teams.
One aggregation claimed to hail from
Providence and had the name of Provi-
dence Blues, the other was composed OF
local talent, portion of which appeared
TO understand that they had been engaged
for football game.
All went smoothly until the third in
ming, when the visitors, who had been
told they were TO play for a silver cup,
found that their opponents had not been
able to raise the price. This settled it
and the game broke up with some 20 odd
local folks.
Lady Lister-Kaye arrived last evening
and is the guest OF j. j. Van Alien.
A large excursion from Boston by the
n. Y. N. III. q III. r. r. arrived at twelve
this noon.
Mrs. Margaret Bottome, president OF
the National Association OF Kings Daugh-
tiers, is the guest of Mrs. L. j. Herrick.
This evening she speaks at Emmanuel
Church and on Sunday evening at the
First Presbyterian Church.
The memb bers of the First Presbyterian
Sunday School are enjoying a picnic at
Wexford today.
Mr.. and Mrs. f. w. Vanderbilt will re-
main ct their cottage here until the latter
part Of November.
The Casino subscription ball, which as
a rule marks the end of the gaieties for
Newport's summer, occurred last evening.
The committee worked most assiduously
TO have the ball a success, and succeeded
in drawing more people to the Casino than
for many previous seasons.
The decorations, while not elaborate,
were pretty and tasteful. The stage of
the theater formed an exquisite picture.
A for sst scene was set and along the sides
and on the steps leading TO the main floor
were banked huge palms. The floor
of the stage, the steps and the drops, were
covered with dark red cloth. To COM
plete the effect the chairs in this
cozy retreat were all gilded. The
piazzas which were enclosed were
hung with Japenese lanterns, and on the
UPPER balcony were set numerous little
tables where supper was served. The
decorations at these were dainty little
colored candles with shades of various
delicate hues.
At one end OF the lower piazza the
Newport Band discoursed music for the
promenaders and Mullally's Orchestra
furnished music for the dancers. They
were stationed in corner of the ballroom
gallery.
After supper Mr.. i. f. Gushing led the
court cotillion. The favors were corsage
boquets for the ladies and trinkets from
Miabellas for the gentlemen.
