At one theater in Gotham. the New
York, spectators are kept out Of bust
ness. The management of the theater
declares that it will not accept any
ticket sold by a speculator, but will re-
turn the face value Of such ticket to the
person presenting it. To keep the spec
ulators away, and to see that no tickets
sold by them arc accepted by the door
keepers, the management has detectives
stationed outside. tine spectators have
begun legal proceedings. 1t is a test Of

Newport has changed this year very
much. Formerly, even in it's gayest
years, it was a cottage community, and
one lived such village life that every
body knew each other and each other s
affairs. Now there are strangers pour

quite different from the sightseers which
one time congregated at the old Ocean
house. These people are the swell mob
and some of these personages have car
riagcs and horses which they have
brought from Boston and New York and
they mingle with the people on the Ocean
drive. There have been various little
scenes, some of which have occurred in
the sacred precincts Of the Casino. and
