TITLED VISITORS.
Another Of these young matrons will
be the Countess of Essex, who comes
with the Earl and a baby to make New
port such visit as she has not paid
since the days when, as Adele Grant,
she reigned supreme. When Miss Grant
went abroad some seasons ago she is
sal dto have told a girl friend that she
would never return until she could hold
her own as matron, even as she had
queened IL as maid! And her threat
she has fully Fulfilled. The Ear's pic
ture, sent over by the Countess to a
Newport friend, is handsomer than that
OF Hermann Oelrichs, and the couple
will be much admired.
The welcome news that Mrs. Oelrichs
and Miss Fair will be here this summer
has been told from villa to vHla. There
is being built for them a very fine house.
but it will not be completed until next
year. The fancy is for having large
seats in front Of the houses, and great
are the village expectations when the
new gates arrive. From Old Newport
the country people come to see them
erected. And wonders Of architecture

If Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont were to
elect TO change the name OF Newport &c
that of her own, on the basis of real es-
tate holdings, she could easily secure
such legislation. Marble House and its
grounds are hers. So, too, Belcourt,
the o. p. II. Belmont place, and all its
adjacent roads and grounds, by gift Of
her infatuated husband. How the
houses will be divided up remains to be
seen. 1t is said that the Duke and
Duchess Of Marlborough will summer
at the Marble House and Mrs. o. H. p.
Belmont at Belcourt, and again the
whisper has it that young Willy X. Jr.,
is an Independent young man-though
only eighteen-and prefers to keep up
his own establishment at Marble House,
letting Ills sister and brother-in-law
visit at the Belmonts. He has certainly
spent much time at Marble House alone
with his retinue of servants.
The shipping of bicycles TO Newport
has been immense. They come here in
cases, in frames, in fine wood boxes and
in the hands of trusty servants. They
are in gold in silver, in nickel and in a
combination of metals, showing differ
ent colors. Many whose names do not
cppear upon the social horoscope cot
tagers from the Narragansett and in
tervening places, have wheeled over the
city by the sea, and therefore the regu-
lation Newport jewellers are withdraw
ing more and more into private do
mains Three years ago Miss Louise
McAllister shocked Newport people by
riding a bike within her fathers
grounds, followed by a groom. Now
it is the universal way to do it.
The Brice young women, very pleas
ing and graceful girls, vii! be Newport
bellies. They are riders Of the wheel;
so also are the other young women Of
society, and notably Miss Fair, who is
the champion.
Secretary and Miss Herbert are ex-
pected here about the time of the review
of the naval squadron, and the greatest
efforts are being made to get the Cleve-
lands away from those babies and to
Newport for a week.
The favorite Newport trip for the
early season is to Narragansett. Facil-
tiles for getting there are much greater.
A good launch and a fine cycle path are
in use
Ip interesting events there is the
Newport horse show, which opens Au-
gust 26 and lasts three days. 1t is in
charge of Center Hitchcock, the Loril-
lards, o. II. P. Belmont and Prescott

And among the Newport debutantes
promised are May Goelet, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Ogden GOelet, and Miss
Brooks, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
timer Brooks, both very pretty girls.
Luncheons are already being given
for the engaged couples of Newport
and the Calvin Brices, who, by the way
have their cottage, Beaulieu, leased
from w. w. Aston for the next three
! years, are to entertain more heavily
than usual this summer.
There will be 50 much marrying and
getting engaged this season that those
who have no sons and daughters must
step aside and watch the supremacy OF
those who have. Several of the Paget
sisters are TO visit Mrs. Paget, Lady
