      . 1873 Aug 7 - Newport Again. The Whole Place Transfigured at the First Touch of August - "The Casino" is a name given to a private entertainment among the ladies & gentlemen of Newport. During the first season of the "The Casino" the ladies who sustained it used to take their books & work & the Academy was alive with their tongues & needles - the one executing the embroidery of conversation, the other the various little articles of ornament & dress. The entertainment has undergone some modification since & bids fair to pass into an 'institution.' Held at the house once owned by Alexander Van Rensselaer, Rhode Island avenue, handsome & luxuriously furnished within... billiard rooms, ...refined manners & good breeding, private theatricals... The names attached to these cards are (many) La Marquise de Noailles, Mrs, Wm. Redmond, Jr.

      . 1887 Nov 17 - A Newport correspondent writes, The late Mrs. Mary Lawrence Griffin Redmond was s granddaughter of Commodore Lawrence.
