MRS. PERRY BELMONT's ORDEAL.
Undersoes an Operation for Appendicitis $50
cessfully Outlook Satisfactory.

NEWPORT, r. l.. July lp.-An operation for
appendicitis was performed upon Mrs. Perry
Belmont this morning. Fortunately her con-
dition was not found to be as serious a. was ap-
pretended yesterday. when there was con-
siderable gloom lest she should not survive the
ordeal The operation proved entirely success
ful This announcement Ia made officially. and
1t is furthermore given out that it is now be-
lleved that Mrs. Belmont will rapidly recover
and be about again In a few weeks.
Mrs. Belmont's illness has been OF long dura-
ton. II was not until yesterday that an opera
ton was determined upon by DR.. William NJ.

Belmont family. DR.. Polk performed the
operation this morning at II o'clock at BY
the-Sea," assisted by DR.. Charles Barrows Of

him from New York. All was over In an hour
and half, when friends Of Mr.. and Mrs Bel
mont were able 10 learn that the operation was
successful and that Mrs. Belmont was then
doing a. well az could be expected Two hours
later. when something more definite could be
told, It was said that the operation was even
morAsuccessful than could have been reasona bly,
anticipated and that there was little fear as TO
Mrs Belmont's full recovery. This evening
the report from her bedside seems to give even
more assurance that the outcome will be
entirely satisfactory.
One Of the upper rooms in the villa through
which the cooling breezes from the ocean blow
increasingly was made temporary hospital
ward. II was there that Mrs. Belmont was
operated upon. and in large chsmber ad-
joining she will pass her illness. Many mes
sages OF sympathy have been received Mrs.
Belmont was out rs late as Tuesday. Then
she was driving and was taken suddenly m when
she returned home. II was understood some
time ago when Mrs. Belmont was III that her
sickness was appendicitis and that when she
had another attack an operation would prob
ably be necessary. Upon arriving here on
Tuesday DR.. Polk understood that he would
have TO operate His assistant and the nurses
were therefore prepared for the warning that
they received yesterday to come on to New
port Dr. Polk will remain here through Mrs.
Belmont's illness.
The Rev. Percy Grant. D. D.. Of the Church
of the Ascension. New York. arrived at BY
the-Sea" to-day and will be the guest OF Mr..
Belmont for some days. He is Mrs. Belmonts
pastor and was sent for when Mrs Belmont

expected. and everything now points to her
ultimate recovery
