NEWPORT, Aug. "a 1895.
While sitting on the yeranda OF the
Ocean House, watching the gay throng
of fashions devotees, as they drove past
In their carriages, the thought struck me
that those who are not 30 fortunate TO
have wealth should not be so enyious and
complaining. III the people who have
money didn't make show OF IL to the
outside world and necessarily spend 1t,
what would the merchant, the mechanic
and laborer do? All those fine horses and
carriages cost money; so do the har-
nesscs and trappings which go. with
them. 1t costs money TO feed the horses
and someone to groom and drive them.
The milliner and the modiste must come
in for large share OF the expenditure OF
"my lady"
Just now the season is at Its height,
and the big hotels are actually turning
people away. ! took a run over to the
New Cliffs Hotel, and II was just the
same at that swell hostelry, by far the
beauty spot In all the "city by the sea"
for a summer abiding place, combining
views of sea and country, and Host Rob
erts and his charming wife make the
guests feel perfectly at ease.
There is no use talking. There Is
knack in running hotel. Everybody is
not adapted for it. By the way, i heard
while here that. the Belmonts and the
Vanderbilts are having quiet race for
first place as leaders of society. The Bel
monts, SO II Is said, gave swell enter,
| tainment the other evening and they did
| not include I'm their invitations some who
were always welcome at the Vanderbilts.
| OF course I cannot vouch for the truth OF
| this, ladies and gentlemen OF the "Tea
| Table, as personally had no conversa-
tion with eitheS party to the ahair' put
| gently this evening that you might know
| how human nature makes itself manifest
| even among people who are possessed
| OF so much money that they hardly know
how to spend II.
II ary local enterprise in Newport
should make money II is the electric rail-
road company, during the summer. The
| rides are just long enough for the con-
! ductor to collect the fares from all the
| passengers he can crowd on his car, and
then the end of the route is reached.
The Continental Steamboat Company
must have had a banner day yesterday il
the crowds carried to Newport and Cres-
| cent Park were anything TO judge by.
| The crowd at Newport was the largest
taken there this season.
Crescent Park had record breaker for
crowds yesterday. For the most part they
were people who had worked all the
week, from Monday morning until Satur-
day night, and doubtless thought they
were entitled TO an outing. The usual
shore dinner was served and tonight the
O'Clock bake and "Pinaforen will be
the program for patrons to consider.
The big fight, according to latest re-
ports, Is to be not between Corbett and
Fitzslmmons. but between the Governor
and sheriff OF Texas, and Dan Stewart
and those who are behind him in the
management of this affair. The chances
are that the Governor and sheriff, backed
by couple of Gatling guns, will win.
Tomorrow the big parade takes place in
Boston. shall probably be where j car
see II. have a curiosity TO see the Cal
ifornia delegation, who were taxed $500
each for the occasion, who have eact
brought with them black charger which
they propose to ride in the procession
and then give away as souvenir OF the
festive gathering to their Masonic broth
ers. High flyers those millionaire Cali
fornia Knights.
September will soon be here. Parents
who are contemplating the advisability o
sending their children to a private board
ing school will find IL decidedly to thei
advantage to take into consideration th
merits OF the FriendsssSchool of this city
of which Augustine Jones is the honore'
principal.

race from the VaIkyrie by accident.
The Pswtucket Opera House, with San
Sauloon as proprietor, will make bid 70
