Crown Princess Louise, who have
been entertained by society as eX-
tensively as was the Prince of Wales
two years ago. Bar Harbor, South
ampton, Long Island. the Adiron-
daCks and White Mountains soon will
he filled with persons of prominence
who will pass the Summer there.
The exodus from the cities and the
influx into the fashionable resorts is
coincident with the annual Yale Har
ward boat races which are TO he
Towed Friday on the Thames. More
members of representative families
gather at this spectacular and color
full event than at probably any other
sporting event in the country, barring
the international polo matches.

turesque of any of the sporting fix
lures.
The harbor at New London begins

safely to anchorage one after the
other. until the harbor is dotted with
craft of every description. At night,
when all are illuminated, they form
,S.,t,, -,
is the dance at the Griswold that
night and the annual Yale Harvard
dance Friday night at the same hotel.
The races present a wonderful scene
with the crews rowing through lane
Of stately yachts bedecked with bunt-
ing and pennantS. and the observation
trains on either side of the river filled
with persons of distinction wearing
the blue of Yale or the crimson of
Harvard.
The entertainments given for the
crown prince and his cOnsort all have
been of a comparatively simple and
quiet nature. quite devoid of ostenta-
ton. Most of the private entertain
ments in his honor took place on

Cove to Rye in the Pratt yacht and
were met there by Mr.. and Mrs Reid
