Mr. Editor: Our pa~ty, bound forNew England, took passage for Providence, Kliode Island, in the Steamboat Powhatan, belonging to the Manufacturers & Miners 'I ranaportation Co. We went on board at (> p. in., but it was 8 o'clock before we steamed out of Norfolk harbor. During this interval we were interested in watching the loading of the boat with it - usual freight, barrels of pota'oo-, cantaloupes, and cabb >g The t rip. on "old ocean,v was a novel experience to the majority ol us but the sea was very calm,and we all enjoyed our two nights und a day put <?l sight of I ui .

We wore were all anxious to see Newport, the summer home of the New York and Boston Millionaire's, and a ride o! a few hours by trolley car soon brought ns to us to the place. Newport, at one time, shared the honor, with Providence, of being the capital of Rhode Is land. 1'lie summer home of the Van lerbnilis, Whitney*, (louts, Belmon's and I he hos's of other m ilti millionan people are veritable palaces.
