Preparations for the arrival OF tho yacht
squadron and for the illumination OF the harbor
on Aug. b arc going actively on, and yachting
interests for tho moment arc driving out golf,
polo. and all other sports. Mr.. and Mrs. Bnyard
Cutting are 10 occupy Wccbush during the re-

very good play II Bayard Cutting, Jr., should DO
with his parents at Newport, as ho won more
than one match at Lenox last summer.
. A wave OF silly and unreliable gossip seems 10
be passing over Newport just now, and young peo-
pies names are linked together and their engage
ments announced without the slightest author-
iy from either party. Very pleasant relations
arc thus often broken up, and fathers and moth
ers subjected to tho modification Of officially
contradicting tho rumors. Newport, however,
is not responsible for the cabled announcement
Of Miss May Goelet's engagement to tho Duke of
Manchester. which had its origin in the fogRy
atmosphere Of London and in the disposition
evinced by impecunious Americans allied to
noble families In England to appropriate every
nice young countrywoman OF their own with n
large fortune for sons who would have no posi-.

Several marriages of Americans have 90
CURED lately in remote and unexpected places
which have attracted but little attention. but
which nearly concern the literary, artistic,
and collegiate, as well as the fashionable world.
Among them 10 tho wedding in Bermuda Q few
days since of Prof. George Stevenson Patton,
son Of the President of Princeton University, to
Miss Anna Esther Winifred outerbridge, whose
brother-in-law. the Venerable Archdeacon Of
Bermuda, performed the ceremony.
A wedding even moro interesting TO New
Workers occurred in St. Paul's Church, al
Windsor, VT. when Miss Mary Stacy Beaman,
a granddaughter of tho venerable William N.
Evarts, whose record embraces distinction In
law, politics, and literature, was united TO Mr..
Edward Holmes of Boston, the only grandchild

Two International marriages which have 70
Gently taken place In Paris are also of interest,
that Of Miss Anna Claire Hegeman, Q niece Of
DR.. Chauncey NJ. Depew, to Lieat- Paul Edeard
de Brisson. and that of Mrs. Mary Geraldine
Reed to Francois Millet, q son of the great
painter who immortalized himself by his we'll.

was solemnized by the Vicar Of Paris at the
Church Of st. Pierre dc Chaillot.

brated in Chicago q short time since, by which
Miss Marguerite Walker Of Chicago became

at the far West and expresses no wish to return
to the aristocratics surroundings of his early life.
