A Ride Along Shore.

Connecticut Shore ResOrts-MagfcaI
 Transformations In Late Years.
 Many of our citizens are having their va- cations this month in earnest. Multitudss reach the shore by horse cars and spend a day. Others take the steamers on their fre- quent excursions to islands in the Sound, but very few know the improvements made and the solid comfort taken at the beautiful shores between Guilford and New Haven Rev. Dr. Hawes, of the North church, and his family are at GuiIford for the summer. Many are the attractions of this old quiet town. At Stony Greek, well named for it's rocks on the land and islands of stone in the water, are many patrons from New Haven, among which we noticed at the Island View House Messrs. John w. filling and family, Lewis D. Brown and wife, Lester Robinson, 0. T. Ward, J. c. Clark, Theo. M. Bixbee, Frank S. Mum, D. M. Johnson, c. l.. Veil, B. A. Chatfeld, Charles Peterson, Elihu Mix and many others. This hotel with it's ample verandahs is most beautifully situated, having in view the Thimble Islands at distance dotted here and there in the water with cottages 'tpeeking out" among the trees. Mir. Northrop has been fortunate in securing the services of K. Yamunaka, late of Yale medical school, who makes very polite clerk and is popular among the guests. Just east of Island View House are some splendid cottages, among which are those of J. Fl. Bartholomew, pres ident of the Derby railroad, Hon. Wm. J. Clark, Senator, of Southington, and ex-M Mayor Curtiss of Meriden, which attract much at tention. Among the many new cottages now in Procress of erection none exceeds in elegance that of Hon. I. c. Lewis of Meri den. Stony Creek is certainly 8 very pleas ant summer resort.
 MONEY ISLAND.
 The Money Island House, Stony Creek, has many guests and it's register shows many familiar names. Among the large number of people who have been guests under Land lord Killam's shospitable roof are many who come from afar; some from distant States. MT. and Mrs. Killam are most obliging and genial host and hostess and they furnish en- tertainment to many transients from New Haven who take the sail on the Mermaid.
 PINE ORCHARD.
 This old resort has not made the improve ments won by many other places, but is summer resting place held by some in very high estimation for it's good bathing privi- leges.
 INDIAN NECK
 The look out upon Long Island Sound and the superb beach, extending from the cot tage of the farmer on one side to the elegant mansions of the shipping merchants, is very desirable, and is most desirable place to spend summer. The new road and bridge recently built bring it near to the Branford depot, and are great convenience to our business men who reside there.
 BRANFoRD POINT HOUSE.
 D. M. Kings active labors in erecting many mansions" for the weary are now being utilized by the many patrons of the new landlord, who has revived the spirit of former times. Mrs. D. M. King still owns the pleasant cottage on the east side of the near the Point House, and occupies it during the summer with choice guests, who always have good living and good time. She knows how Ito keep hotel"
 SHORT BEACH. An old citizen says 1.-The beach has been 'long' enough without any appreciation and until very recently every one has made short work and it is the shortest time built city in the East.' In riding through the new city our attention was directed to the Killam Point with it's bewitching villas and then into the plain. It seemed as if people l 1rew lots by chance and built their houses by | magic without reference to shape or location l only to be near the beach, others have select d hills and knolls for more elegant homes. ! It must be popular place, for we noticed there Judge F. Wayland, Judge 1 H. B. Pardee, Messrs. H. P. Frost, Ellsworth ! !. Foote, Caleb Mix, and others too numer- ,us to mention. Most of our citizens have 10 idea how this place is built up. Morris ! love is near home and occupied by some of | ,ur best citizens, who hie to it as a pleasant ! md cool retreat after the business of the day. l The eastern shore of our bay is a fine spot | or cottages. It Is a place of peace and i luiet, and where cool nights are speciality. |
