LEARNING TO DRIVE AN AUTO.
Mrs. stuyvesant Fish Takes a Spirit
ed Lesson.

Newport, r. l., Aug. 3.-Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish took her second automobile lesson
to-day. and 1t is safe to say that should
an announcement of the time and place
of her next lesson be made pubic a large
crowd would be on hand to witness It,
There may be some portions of the beau
tiful grounds surrounding her house that
were not ploughed up by the wild rearing
and charging of her automobile, but care
full scrutiny has so far failed to locate
them, and the appearance of the cross
walks, walls and strawberries would lead
one to suppose that some persons had
been trying to ride a bucking bronco
about the place.
But Mrs. Fish takes a complacent and
philosophic view of the matter. She real
ICES that what is needed in the automo-
bling business is experience, and she got
whole lot of it to-day. Miss Greta Pom
eroy, who shared with Mrs. Fish her ex-
periences, is also satisfied She stuck TO
the machine during oil It's contortions, and
defed il to unseat her in much the same
fashion as She has stuck to the back of
an ugly hard mouthed cross country
hunter.
MRS. FISH, with MISS ROnefOy by nef
side, started to take the machine around
the grounds to-day. 1t was her intention
to stick closely to the drives and cross
walks, but the automobile saw a stone
wall and made for it head on. The auto
mobile won, and a large section of stone
wall fell with a thud.
The motor shook itself free from the
debris and all went well for a while, but
soon the automobile proceeded to lay low
a clump of choice shrubbery on the lawn.
For the next half hour Mrs. Fish had
a more or less exciting time, and then
came the climax. The carriage finally
dashed against the steps Of the villa,
whereupon there was an awfully sudden
stop, a crash and a snap, and the side of
the automobile gave way and the day 5
lesson necessarily came to an end
Even with these mishaps Mrs. Fish en-
joyed her afternoon Immensely. Miss
Pomeroy is considerable of a hunter, or
she would surely not have been able to
keep her seat during this up-to-date
steeplechase. She was very much shaken
up.
Mr.. oliver II. P. Belmont also had an
accident to-day, losing several spokes from
one of the rear wheels Of his automobile
in a slight collision
Mr.. Joseph Widener of Philadelphia got
mixed in regard to the currents while
operating his golf brake to-day and nearly
tore out the side of the charging station,
against which he ran. Fortunately he,
too, escaped uninjured
Mr.. Foxhall Keene received to-day a
French automobile. 1t Is the latest and
fastest thing eff its kind

In an encounter with a rat one of the
peacocks at the Zoo lriumphed after
fierce battle. The peacock was basSins
on The lawn in front of he small mammal
house The rodent had been circulating
in The vicinity Of The house and made
dash TO clear he lawn for new hunting
ground. In some mysterious manner it
bumped into the peacock or attempted
to crawl under the bird. Whichever lt
did, The result was the same. A fight en-
sued, the Ike Of which has never been
witnessed by The Oldest keepers OF the gar
den.
The peacock was remarkably aert. Civ
ing his str.dCnt cal, he made a plunge
at the rat with a stretch Of his neck. The
rat replied with a vicious snap al he pea

arrangement OF the plumage. Another
plunge with ils beak and the bird scored
a point. The rat took alarm at the de-
