Special Dispatch to The Tribune

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, July 81
The climax of the social life of the
Thousand Islands will be reached during
the coming fortnight, when all the polo
players shall have arrived; the golfers
will be resting on their laurels, the ten
mis- stars proudly showing their trophies
won on yacht club courts, and luncheons,
balls, meetings and what-not will be
the order of the day. There were. how
ever, plenty OF the three last mentioned
affairs going on to-day, but sport affairs
viii soon engage the attention of the
cottage colony so exclusively that lunch
cons and dinners will be a matter of
catch as catch-can, and guests who have
not long been promised will be hard to
lure to such prosaic affairs as merely
dining, lunching or teaing

Islands Yacht Club last Saturday eve
ming was largely attended. This occa
sion brought out the entire dancing
