drunken brawls that formerly took
place at the boat wharf when the
Sunday excursions were departing.
Nor have the public been subject to
the insulting annoyance from the
gangs of whiskey-soaked loafers that
used to hang about at the saloon
doors. No, Newport may not be just
as dry as 1t ought to be, but the NOR
al situation has undergone an I'M
provement that is steadily growing,
and only requires the stimulation OF
a rigid enforcement of the local op-
tion law. And II further appears to
a casual observer that some of these
self-same people who are so out
spoken against the law are among
its worst violators."
The Devils Punch Bowl.
One of the most enjoyable of the
many parties which have been given
at Newport this season, occurred
last Tuesday when Mrs. Mcintosh
chaperoned a party of young people
on trip to the DEVILS Punch Bowl
and otter Rock.
The jolly crowd rode merrily up
the beach in a four horse tallyho
Justify singing popular airs and col
lege songs. Reaching the bowl,
which tradition claims formerly
adorned the table of the under world,
the merrymakers proceeded to ex-
plore the numerous caves and cliffs
for which the place is noted.
At noon lunch was eaten in a moss
carpeted dell, shaded by monarch
pines.
The afternoon was spent In climb
ing to the top of nearby mountain,
in shooting the chutes" and In tar
get practice.
The party consisted of the Misses
Eva Catching, Eva Bailey, Ryth
Catch, Ethel Graves, Jessie Bibee,
Alice Wherung, Lucia Campbell,
Messrs. Burns Powell, Tam Catch,

Mrs. Mcintosh.

voice and besides his regular part
