Hospitalities in Henor of Mr. irs. Patenotre—Whitney and Brice Millions in Evidence—Notes. The Frénch ambassador and Mrs. Pate- notre, who have been spending a week at a Bar Harbor hotel, were entertained at a dinner by Mr. and Mrs. Livingston, ata luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bar- ney and at luncheon Saturday by Mrs. W. E. Montgomery. They leave today for their cottage at Elberon. Mrs. Calvin Brice gave the most magnificent entertainment of the Newport season in her ball rcom last week. Pre- ceding the evening’s entertainment, while the guests were arriving, a magnificent ais- play of fireworks was set off, which could be seen from all parts of the city. The dinner was served on small tables in & marquee tent on the lawn, 176 sitting down to the board. The favors were the richest since those given out at Mrs. Be’ mont’s Marble House ball two summers ago. They consisted in one figure of huge Gainsborough hats for the ‘women, and broad-brimmed ones for the men, and in others of silver-topped parasols and walk- ing sticks, jeweled orders, sashes and flow- ers. Mr. and Mrs. William C, Whitney are spending much time in driving about over their October mountain estate. They find the best turn-out for this Kind of driving is a buckboard with two or three horses abreast. One of their favorite drives is up to-their new log chalet, on a high hili- top north of their house, where they get an extensive view, reaching from Vermont to Connecticut, with a great sweep of hills to the west. Mr. Whitney's game from the Recky mountains is all doing well. The buffalo are anything but “tame.” Olq McKinley is especially surly, and it is not safe for strangers to go inside of the pad- dock where these animals are kept. Quite the reverse is true of the elk, as they have become very tame and will come up tc the fence when the game keeper whistles for them. The antelope have not all been seen together since they were first put in Only three of them have been seen, but the rest keep themselves hidden in the thic woods. Of the various kinds of game biras that Mr. Whitney has brought, the phea ants flourish the best. The ball room that Mr. Whitney is building as an extension of his new mansion in New York city wil! make that corner of 5th avenue one of the handsomest of those facing the park.
