IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.I
Newport II l., July A.-The disagreeable weather
still continues here. and as result another day
passed without any activity OF note in the cottage
colony. Few persons attended the concert at the
Casino. the starting Of the wOmens tennis tourna-
ment was again postponed and the picnic which
9Gr. and Mrs. Alfred g. Vanderbilt were to give
for children had to be deferred Except for a few
luncheOns, dinners and receptions it was a quiet
day.
In the afternoon large number Of the women
attended the meeting of the Bridge Club at the
TraveTs bungalow. This evening several cottagers
attended Shakespearian reading al the Casino
Theatre given by the Rev. Dr. Webb OF the Pres

At a gathering at the Reading Room this after
noon Colonel c. Ia F. Robinson Of the Newport
Artillery Company brought up the matter Of re-
building the armOry, which was recently damaged
by fire, and suggested that II would be good thing
for the cottaseTs to assist in the work There was
a ready response, and before the afternoon was
over Colonel Robinson had about 5000 TO be used
the fund were Senator WetmOre. Richard T. VIII
son. John Hare Powell, ElbFidge T. Gerry, Mars

LADIES SCORE
(EAND SUCCESS

The young ladies' ball given last
Friday evening in Valhala Hall has
been voted success. As one young
fellow expressed it. "There were sew
eral agrgeeablel features connected
with the party, but thu one which ap
pealed to my aesthetic sense the
strongest was the fact that the girls
paid all the bills Aside from this
novel innovation, however other
things combined to make the socisl
one of the most successful functions
of the season.
The young laGies were in charge of
everything and good many are of
the opinion that the b.en could not
have managed better themselves.
Dancing commenced at about nine,
which by the way is about an hour or
so earlier than dances usually start in
Gardnerville and therefore score one
for the ladies'. Two step followed
waltz in regular succe ssion with now
and then schottische or quadrille
interspersed until eleven thirty when
about half of the guests repaired to
splendid refreshments awaited them.
Through slight misunderstanding
certain of the beau eallants paid for
their tamales and thus marred the
pleasure and novelty of the even
ng. We understand that there are still
those whose outraged feelings have
not yet been paeified. After all had
srpped dancing was again resumed
and still without hitch, but at this
time the young ladies, fed by their
own anxiety, began to worry because
the dances seemed to drag. This
fact is indicative of a simple truth.
No matter how ably a woman may
conduct herself III the role of man
she can never hope to assume his care
less attitude and entire abandon to his
surroundings. Beyond a doubt every
man present felt that the waits be-
tween the danes. were entirely in keep
ing with his state of mind. While
the girls were worrying and anxious
lest their dal ce should at last prove
a failure, the boys were improving
the. opportunities afforded by the
waits for little spoon. We would
suggest that the young lodies pay es-
pecial attention to this detail when
next hey give dance and they need
have no fear of the affair dragging.
Dancing ceased about 3 A. NJ. and
we reiterate that the concencus of
opinion seems to be that it was a
huge success The crowd present.
while not extremely large, was con-
genial and the ladies were careful
that no one was slightSd. According
to Bob Ward it was surprising how
we'll even married men fare'i at their
hands.
