At Summer Resorts;
Season Nearly Over

viii Visit Newport Milionares Busy
With Builders

NEW YORK Aug IZ-Less than a
fortnight remains Of the summer season

sorts. Twelve days hence the arrival Of
September will signalize the advent OF
the fan, and people At Newport. Bar
Harbor. Southampton and other points
along the coast viii begin moving back
TO their country seats around New York.
Candles always flare up most brightly
just before the extinction OF their flame
and hence it IS only natural that the
prelude Of the close Of the season at
Newport and Bar Harbor should be
characterized by an altogether abnormal
amount Of gayety.
At Bar Harbor this week, toe horse
show viii monopolize attention, while
at Newport the principal feature Of the
program will be the visit OF the Swedish
crown princes younger son, Prince

be given in his honor by Mrs. Stuyve-
SAINT Fish. Mrs. f. J. Berwind. Mrs
Ogden Mills. Mrs. George Peabody Wet

Newport Horse Show.
His departure next Sunday will be fol-
lowed by the horse show at the Casino,
and the horse snow always furnishes
the death knell OF the Newport sea-
son. and affords the members II the
summer colony a rendezvous fer the
purpose OF taking leave Of one another.
1t was purposed at one moment 10 hold
the horse shoe this fan somewhere else
than at the Casino, owing 70 the lack OF
accommodation.
But the Casino management has put
TIP an enlarged grandstand and made
other improvements, in consequence
Of which it has been settled that the
horse show Will continue TO take place
at the Casino each September for the
next five years TO come. This has given
general satisfaction, and assures the
shows success. mast Of which in the
PAST has been due precisely to the fact
that 1t has always been held at the
Casino.
Today Newport is stin crowded with
yachtsmen. and the fleet Of the New

Tection with the visit OF the fleet, among

respect having been Mrs. ''Neelie" Van
derbilt wife OF the president of the
club.
