resort is all bosh. Mrs VIM. Astor Is ex-
pected to arrive next week, but she comes
mainly for quiet, and will mingle little in
the gayeties. There will be an October we'd
ding or two, but the crowd hears the call
OF the mountains. and is only waiting for
the horse show to be fairly ended
The tennis season ran well over Ito this
week. the interest being remarkably we'll
sustained. Society folk are again agitated,
and this time more deeply than ever, by
the renewed talk of holding the national
championship elsewhere, and while there
is no great likelihood of Newport losing
the MIXTURE Tor year or two, it Is sure 10
take wings sooner or later

with the usual moderate success The edge
OF the local matches is invariably taken or
