RESORTS CLOSED
Yesterday the Last Day for
Recreation Along the Bay.

Yesterday marked the end of the recre-
alton season al most OF the pleasure re-
sorts about the city, and from now till
pussy willow time other scenes will claim
the people looking for a days pleasure in
the open air and sunshine
The last day OF the regular steamboat
trips has come and gone, and when the
boats were tied I'D last might it-was
good-by to 1902. The last Seaconnet ex-
cursion and shore dinner was held yes
terday and Rocky Point had its last ball
game.
Crescent Park was open for dinners and
will be open next Sunday when the sea-
son will wind up.
Hereafter the Newport boats will run
but once a day, excepting Sunday, leav-
ing this city at O'Clock in the afternoon
and Newport at i'm the morning. Two
trips will be run Sundays, however, for
some time.
Despite the cold rainy season. especial
ly during June and July. the season has
been, on the whole, a successful one. Au-
gust was a good month and made up
largely for the bad weather OF the early
season.
This is true very largely of the inland
resorts of which there are now several
about the city, as well as Of the shore
places. Chestnut Grove. Hunts Mills and
Brighton Park all received a splendid
patronage, and Rhodes-on-the Pawtuxet
did better than ever. Some OF these places
are still open and "a hop will be given this
evening at the latter resort.

MARIE PEARY's BIRTHDAY.
"A pleasant feature OF the return trip
was the celebration aboard the Wind
ward OF little Marie Peary's ninth birth
day. There was the best sort OF "A birth
day cake made by the ships cook that
could be made under the circumstances
and IL was a memorable occasion. The
child was born on Sept. 12.lS03 at An
niversary Lodge. at the head OF Bowdoin
bay. named after Bowdoin college, from
which Peary was graduated.
Peary wanted to bring back some Is
kimos but he concluded, remembering his
last experience, that II would be simply
taking them on a journey to their death.
so he abandoned the idea.
Lieutenant and Mrs. Peary will reach
New York within a week or two. and
maybe sooner. They are going to journey
along leisurey and may stop at Bar
of Morris X. Jesup president Of the
Peary Arctic club. This. regret TO say.

tion under the direction OF the club. We
haven't any money to speak OF, and II we

pay our debts we will be lucky"
Matt Henson. the colored man from
Washington, l.. c., who has been with
Peary on all his trips 10 the northland,
did not seem 10 be over enthusiastic
about getting back to civilization. Matt
was asked IL he had ever been able to
find out what was the trouble between
Peary and DERRICK.
Indeed | nevah was able TO make no
sense nohow outer all that rubbish. Doc
tah DERRICK nevah tole me nothin' and
Mister Peary. he tole me jus bout as
much. j nevah see no row between 'em,
and nevah heard 'em cussin' at each
other and I reckon the trouble was all

Think anybody will ever find the
