minor key and festivities with the approach
OF the horse show and Jockey club meet. when the
''gates" are closed departing guests and prepa-
rations at once begin for the coming season. But
before that stage is reached Newport will enjoy
numerous occurrences that win bring 10 the city

the evening, when there will be entertainments
galore With the departure Of the yachts the ma
tiolal lawn tennis tournament will be in order at
the Casino. This sport promises this year to be
OF more than ordinary interest on account Of IL
seeking honors with ball and racket. Hereto

thusiasts with much fear. but the remarkable game
that is being played by the Doherty brothers leads
many 10 believe that American 1aureis are IN
danger.
