Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEWPORT, r. l., July IS, 1906
Mrs Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont was
never more conspicuously in the limelight
than just now, which is saying great deal.
More than a dozen years ago, when she
was Mrs William X. Vanderbilt, she gave
q ball at Marble House that has never been
equaled here, and the affair is as fresh in
memory as If it had been held last season.
An idea of it's magnifcence can be gained
by the fact that the favors-peacock tail
feather fans-cost thirty odd dollars each.
Il was declared at that time that the host
ess' social supremacy could never be i'm
paired but time works wonders Last year,
because the Belmonts did not like the attf-
tude of the city fathers toward their re-
quest for road near their estate, Belcourt
was not opened. The former Mrs. Vanderbilt
has determined to reassert herself. The re-
sulc is series of large dinners and mu-
sicales at Belcourt already begun, and a
well-defned project for a great ball at
Marble House late next month, if all goes
we'll Mrs. Beimont's fine hand is also seen
in the new bridge whist club for women,
which it is said will not prove exclusively
a women's affair after all.
With August almost at hand the social
calendar is taking form. The first big af-
fair of the year is due this afternoon at the
Casino. when a Venetian fete will be given
for local charity, with society folk as par
Elephants as well as patrons.
The North Atlantic squadron is due here
next Monday, and on Friday will be held
the benefit for a Catholic orphanage at
Reginald Yanderbilt's farm in the suburbs.
1t is expected to be the most elaborate af-
fair for sweet charity this year. The
tuberculosis camp, which has had bumper
benefits for two years, will be aided by pri-
vate subscriptions.
A week from Monday the New York
Yacht Club is due on its annual cruise the
Astor and Kings cup races TO follow on
the next two days Then what with polo.
tennis and the fox hunts to follow 1t will
be seen that the August sporting pace must
prove d lively one
The friction nesween the summer and
winter colonies was never so apparent be-
fore. which is due in part to the reluctance
of the wealthy class to aid in the approach
Ing carnival. w. K. Vanderbilt, 5r.. gave
only $50 because of his old feeling for being
fined so often as an automobile speeder,
while most of the cottagers have given
nothing. Some favored returning Wander
bilt's trife. Meantime the morning paper
keeps up its cry for a summer hotel. as it
ought, and declares the plutocrats ought to
treat the natives as II they are flesh and
blood
II begins to look as II this would be vir-
tuaiiy an Astorless year, while Countess
Leary, whose musicales are always a fea-
ture has closed her summer house before
1t was fairly opened.
On the other hand, the Vanderbilt situa-
ton is looking up. Mrs. Cornelius Wander
biit, sr, is TO reopen the Breakers, and
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, the younger. has
SO far recovered from her indisposition as
to announce three large dinners next month.

FIXING VALUES.

The fixing Of the values Of prop

merrily on, in addition to the large
increase of those of the railroads.
A Charleston dispatch of Tuesday
says: -1,--'s =
"The work Of compiling the data
as u tna pipe lines, light and water
companies of the State have been
completed by the tax commissioners
Office and the board of public works
was to have held a meeting today to
fix the assessments. There are 4S
pipe line companies in the state and
the aggregate value of the property
returned by them is $13, 1s1 1859.
"Only companies transporting gas
or oil for sale are denominated as
pipe lines by the tax commissioner
lit is understood that the returns dc
not represent the true and actua
value of these properties and it car
be expected that the assessmnts a:
fxd BY the board will be much nigh

@The value of the water and light
companies in the state has been re
ported at $79O,Ns.61. This wi
also likely be increased BY tn
