Current Comment. 



A slight dullness in social circles dur- 

 ing a part of last week is entirely for- 

 gotten now, in the rush and exfttement 

 incident to what has turned out to be 

 the busiest and most profitable week of 

 the season. The first two or three days 

 of the week were given over to tennis in 

 the daytime and dinners without number 

 in the evenings. The tennis tournaments 

 are held in the Casino, in the vicinity of 

 which are located the stores of such 

 well-known florists as Wadley & Smythe, 

 Siebrecht, Ziegler and Leikens. All of 

 these benefit immensely by the sale of 

 cut flowers during tennis week, as well 

 as by the decorations always called for 

 in greater numbers because of the pres- 

 ence temporarily in Newport of many 

 players from other resorts. 



On Tuesday evening Commodore Gerry 

 entertained a large company at dinner. 

 The decorations, which were elaborately 

 and tastefully executed by Arthur Grif- 

 fin, consisted mainly of allamandas, 

 gloriosas and montbretias. The gloriosas, 

 of which Mr. GriflSji is an exceptionally 

 good grower, were very effective. 



On Wednesday Prince William, of 

 Sweden, made his appearance, which was 

 the signal for the beginning of a regu- 

 lar round of elaborate events. Mrs. 

 Stuj'vesant Fish set the ball rolling with 

 a dinner at Crossways in honor of the 

 royal visitor. The decorations were by 

 Wadley & Smythe and were composed 

 principally of Oncidium varicosum for 

 the centerpieces on the dinner tables and 

 blue hydrangeas and Killarney roses for 

 house decorations. From the dinner given 

 by Mrs. Fish, as well as from dinners 

 given by many other hostesses that even- 

 ing, the guests went to a ball given in 

 honor of the prince by Mr. and Mrs. 

 Berwind at The Elms. This was in 

 many ways the most notable affair of 

 this season. The decorations, which were 

 elaborate and costly in the extreme, were 

 done by Mr. Butterton, with the assist- 

 ance of forty florists and gardeners. 

 There were seventy small tables, each of 

 which was adorned with a centerpiece 

 of Killarney roses, which in the aggre- 

 gate called for the purchase of upward

of 6,000 blooms. The temporary struc- 

 ture where these tables were placed was 

 also elaborately decorated with garlands 

 of the same roses and with Asparagus 

 Sprengeri. The table at which sat the 

 prince and the hostess, Mrs. Berwind, 

 was graced with a decoration which in 

 choiceness of material far surpassed the 

 others. It was made of Oncidium vari- 

 cosum and Adiantum Farleyense. The 

 ballroom, which is of extraordinary gran- 

 deur in decoration and furnishings, was 

 simply but appropriately brightened with 

 a few very large vases filled with Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses. The palm room, which 

 is a grand feature of this palatial resi- 

 dence, had, in addition to beautiful spec- 

 imen arecas and kentias, a small foun- 

 tain filled with lotus. On Friday even- 

 ing the prince was entertained at dinner 

 by Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Mills, where 

 Wadley & Smythe had full swing again 

 and with the usual satisfactory result. 



On Thursday the Association of Cem- 

 etery Superintendents came to Newport, 

 where the members, together with their 

 lady friends, were entertained in a va- 

 ried and pleasing manner. On landing, 

 the visitors were escorted by Superinten- 



dent McMahon to the Island cemetery, 

 where, after a tour of inspection, an 

 address of welcome was made by Hon. 

 R. S. Fr^mklin, president of the Island 

 Cemetery Association. This concluded, 

 all repaired to Masonic hall, where a 

 collation was well served to the visitors. 

 Before emerging from Masonic hall Su- 

 perintendent McMahon presented every 

 member of the visiting delegations, a's 

 well as every one accompanying, with a 

 collection of post cards of the views of 

 Newport, from the Newport Horticul- 

 tural Society, an organization that did 

 much in the way of adding to the pleas- 

 ure of the visitors. A drive through 

 the cottage district and along the ocean 

 drive completed the day's outing.
