and the Russian ambassador, Count
Cassini.
Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A.:
| Baron Charles Hague. and about sixty
oottagers took sail during the week
| TO Rocky Point, small-slzed Coney
Island situated up the bay.
If there is one foreigner who is de-
| lighted with Newport it is the Grand
Duke Boris. fHe has been honized by
nearly everyone in the cottage colony,
and his social engagements would Keep
dozen men busy He left Newport for
good. and was given big send-on by
his friends, but. to the surprise and
qualification of all, he returned last
week and intends to remain until 1hurs-
day when he will go directly home.
With the dukes return the entertain
ments in his honor were resumed, and
once again he is in the ''limelight" of
the Newport set.
Duke Boris is not at all backward
about saying that Newport is one of the
prettiest places he has ever visited. and
he deeply regrets the day he will have to
leave the CITY by the Sea- for his
home.
Mrs Ogden Mills. who has been en-
tertaining the royal foreigner, has
planned q series of dinners for this
week, while the other cottagers are
planning to entertain the duke in true
American fashion.
The first of Mrs. Mills series of din
ners was given Friday night, and the
guests included such people as Count
Cassini Baron de Schleppenbach. Capt.
\. Baron Ferson Baron Freichie, Lieu
tenant Greaves, Baron Greaves, Wis
comte de Paris. Mrs Astor, Col. and
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Mrs. Ogden Gcelet,
and the Misses Gerry.
While it was impossible for the Grand
Duke Boris to decorate Newports chief
of police in appreciation of the excel
lent care the chief is taking of him
while here. he did the next best thing in
presenting him with a handsome jeweled
cigarette case of gold. studded with dia-
monds. with the ducal crest on one side.
The jewel is a most valuable one, and
was made at ST. Petersburg at the en-
peror's jewellers.
An event that attracted considerable
attention last week was the dog show
given at the Newport Casino. The en-
tries were unusually large, and SO sue
cessful was the affair that the manage
ment have decided to give a show earlier
in the season next year.
Baron Stanislas Toeplitz is the guest

Mrs. Hoxie's Generous Offer.

A committee was appointed to obtain
estimates of the cost OF bronze bust
or a bronze tablet containing a profile
of Mr.. Ross. The offer of Mrs. r. L..
Hoxie, wife of Major Hoxie. of the
army, so we'll known here, to model a
bust of Mr.. Ross as her contribution
to the memorial, was read, and let
ter was sent TO her. thanking her for
the very generous offer Mrs. Hoxie
was asked if she would still be willing
to do the work in the event it was de-
cided to erect tablet in the municipal
building instead of a bust.
A committee on bylaws was ap-
pointed. and will report at the next
meeting OF the association, to be held
a week from Monday.
No subscriptions will be solicited by
the association. Notices will be issued

The Convention With Germany.
The only parcels post convention en-
tered into by the United States with a
foreign power which is in actual opera
ton at present is that between this
country and Germany. Great Britain
has been trying for years to get the
American postal authorities to agree TO
a parcels post convention.
Owing to the difficulties experienced
with Germany in that line, and on ac-
count of the convention not proving a
financial success. so far as this country
is concerned, the Postofiice Department
has not favored an extension of the par
cells post service with foreign countries.
The British Announcement.
The English postal authorities have
made the following announcement: "On
and after the 1st of next month October
u parcels will be accepted at any post
office in the United Kingdom for trans
mission to the United States.
This service has been established in
cooperation with the American Express
Company, private company of car
riers, and the United States Postof1ice is
not concerned in I.
THE conveyance in this country
(Great Britain) will be performed by
the British postoffice. The parcels will
be conveyed across the Atlantic by pack
cts of the Cunard and White Star lines,
under contract with the postmaster gem
erai. For their conveyance in the United
States the American Express Company
is RESPONSIBLE.
"The postage charge (that is, the
charges for conveyance in this country
and the United States, and for the At
lantic transport, are as follows; On
parcels for New York city, Brooklyn,
Jersey City or Hoboken, not over
pounds. shilling; from to pounds,

be made at the rate OF | shilling each.
This sum- together with an additional
charge of shilling levied by the United
States Government under the title

be prepaid or left to be collected from
the addressee. Customs duty at the or
iinary tariff OF the United States will
also be charged.
