Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs,
July 13, 1899.
This week more guests have arrived here
than at any time since the opening of the
season. Two hundred have registered since
July @. There does not seem to be a great
rush for pleasure, other than the brilliant
conversations INDUCED in by chummy-loek-
ing parties on the verandas. Gentlemen go
round hugging the duplicate whist boxes
under their arms on the hunt for players,
and hugging the green tables when the
players are found; but this is among the
elderly. quiet people who cannot chase the
golf balls or dance at Eight. The young
people are given to doing both.
This morning was an interesting one on
the golf course. and the following are some
of those who played: Miss Virginia Chauge-
net. Mr. Robert Chauvenet Miss Hattie Ell
hot, Mr. Albert Cox, Miss Nettie ST Clair
of Baltimore and Mr.. Jones Fuller, Dr..
Stanley Warren, Miss Rathburn and
others.
The card players are usually about the
same parties every day. and these may be
mentioned the regular set of players:
Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Of Georgia, Col. Dudley
of Danville. Va; Mrs. William H. Bing-
ham of Washington. Mrs. Potts of Rich
mond and few others.
Then the driving parties are worthy of
mention. for the cool. smooth mountain
roads are very inviting. and those who hav,.
traps here, care to take them of the
well-equipped livery. usually go for a spin
in the mornings.
Mr.. E. v. Smalley, secretary of the Sound
Money League, is here. accompanied by
his wife.
Among other guests here are General

BAR HARBOR, July -, 1899.
The delay of the season caused by the de-
struction of the Kebo has made the past
now altogether of the casino. The need of
some place in which to hold larger func-
tons has suggested the idea that the old
swimming pool building might be just the
thing. The plan in view at present will
have constructed there by August kind of
temporary casino, which will be a convent
ent substitute for the time being.
Next week the season will begin in
earnest with dinner dances at the Malvern

than ever society visitors.
The golfing season has taken on a new
lease of life with the return of the crack

vor of the complainant in the case of Lee

PEELED to expend about 81 900 more than

cause, it was alleged, no division could be
made in kind, the court was asked to de-
cree a sale and reimbursement of the mon
ey expended.
By the terms of the present decree the
title to the property is vested in Wilton J.
Lambert and Charles Bendheim as trustees
for the purpose of making sale at public
auction while the question of division of
proceeds and extra allowance to complain
ant are referred to the auditor of the court
for statement. Attorney Bendheim repre-
sentS the defendants.

Facing the bright waves of the Atlantic

The life of the cottage colony is distinctly
social, though naturally much of the gay
ETY. centers around the hotels. The proprie
tor of the Columbia, the largest of these. Is
untiring in her efforts to make life pleasant
and attractive for her patrons and friends.
The ball room is thrown open every even
ing to the lovers of 1.-The light fantastic"
and on Saturday nights formal full-dress
hop is given to the guests and cottagers.
Thursday evenings are devoted to the chill
dren.
On Friday evening a novel progressive
euchre was given in the ball room. In place
of the conventional bell signal, the orches-
ira played popular airs at the end of the
game during the progress of the players.
Driving is one of the delightful features
of Belmar life.

steamers run daily to the island. There are
both Geographic and telephone communi-
cations with the mainland, and mails come
daily on two of the steamer lines. The
daily papers are received here at noon.
During the winter there are. of course, no
guests here, but the place is inhabited the
year through by several hundred farmer
fishermen, a plain but sturdy folk.
One comes here to get the benefit of the
glorious air. the amending breeZes. the
ratchless bathing facilities, the sailing,
fishing and driving.
All kinds of sea food are to be had here
