New Goods At The Palais Royal. During these ‘‘dull times” cheap goods sell readily, while fine goods are “‘slow.”’ The makers of the latter having hoped against hope are now outbidding one an-= other for an outlet like the Palais Royal. Thus our “buyers” have lately vis- ited the wholesale markets and secured choice of the best of the erstwhile ex- pensive goods, which are now being distributed at the makers’ loss—your gain and ours.

A Picturesq: Garden Party—Arrivals and Departures—Interest- ing Notes. Mrs. Cleveland, with her babies Ruth and Esther, reached Buffalo yesterday after- noon, and went to the residence of her mother, on Elmwood avenue. They will be in that city for ten days, and will then go to the President's seaside home at Buz- zard’s bay to spend the remainder of the summer, Gray Gables is undergoing ex- tensive repairs, and it will be ten days or two weeks before the place will be ready for occupancy. As soon as it is finished Mrs. Cleveland and her children will go there to spend the summer. It is under- stood that Mr. Cleveland will join them in a few weeks. Mrs. Cleveland's stay in Buffalo will be very quiet. She has expressed a wish that no entertainments be given for her benefit, as she is tired out from her social duties in Washington and needs rest. ‘The Children’s Hospital garden party at “Holmead” yesterday afternoon was a pret- ty scene, bringing together many persons of social prominence, with the effect of adding quite a round sum to the amount needed to run this institution during the summer, when most of its supporters are off seeking recreation and ccmfort elsewhere. Mrs. McGuire, Mrs. S. S. Howland, Mrs. Leiter and Mrs. E. F. Riggs were in Mrs. McGuire had the refrshment tables, » and assisting her were the Misses Patten, Miss Sherrill and others.

Mrs. 8S. 5S. Howland had a gaily draped tent and a booth around it in the middle of the lawn, where cut flowers and potted plants were on sale. Mrs. and Mrs. Mulligan were with her.

On Sunday his lordship lunched with Mr. and Mrs. Leiter and dined at the British embassy. Today he will leave the city. The Earl of War- wick has been exceedingly courteous to Americans, many of whom have visited Warwick Castle, which is reckoned among the show places in England. He is a widow- er of less than a year’s standing. Miss Rose Preston, daughter of the late Minister Preston, who was the dean of the diplomatic corps during the latter part of his stay here, is now in this city, visiting Mrs. Jno. Mullan.
