A Glance at the Cottages and Their Oc-
 cupGnts.
 A correspondent, "A" says: No pleasanter seashore resort can be found on the coast of Long Island Sound! than Morris Cove. It is situated about four miles out of New Haven and at the mouth of the harbor, and it is a beautiful drive from this city, the road being made of oyster shells and one of the best of shell roads.
 TheOove (proper) commences at the bl uff. The bluff is rocky cliff about 300 feet high, standing at the north end of the beach and affords magnificent view of the city and Sound. The Cove extends to Lighthouse Point. The Cove beach forms a perfect curve and is of a fine sand that in most places Is entirely free from,'stones and shells, smaking the bathing very pleasant. Mrs. Gregory's boarding house is the first house seen upon entering the Cove and 1t is as usual well filled with boarders, many Of them coming to spend the season. The next six cottages are owned by the Thompson Bros., and are with one or two exceptions rented to private families. Rev. MT. Staats, of Bristol, formerly of Fair Haven, owns a cottage at this end of the beach and he has | moved down with his family for the summer. \ Mrs. McCleve's boarding house also has \ about twenty-five boarders; one party from Piainville alone numbers fifteen persons. \ The Cove House, which was purchas ed by \ MT. G. s. Barkentin in the spring. has been \ handsomely fitted up by him and is well filled \ with guests.
 Lawyer Whiting has recently pur chased \ the Cowell property and spends considerable time down there in his pretty pavilion. James Gallagher, jr., the tobacconlst' and I his brother, J. 0. Gallagher, the lawyer are gpending the summer with their father, Hon. \ James Gallagher, at his cottage. MT. Geo. | Ives and family are also at their cottage. \ Mrs. Kingsley, of Utica, is visiting at the T. O. Manchester cottage.
 William J. Atwater, president of the New Haven Pipe Co.,, and his family are at theil ' cottage John c. Bradley, cashier of the \ Merchants bank, is at his cottage with his \ family. MT. Harry Stevens and family ot \ the Malleable iron works, are at their cot tsge.
 The Miller cottage is occupied for the sum mer by MT. Lewis, president of the new Stiles, the dentist, is also at his cottage witt \ his family.
 | The Forbes House, H. B. Forbes proprie k tor, at the south end of the Cove, is also vel filed MT. Forbes has this year built docA
 out from his pavilion to enable boats to land \ at either high or low water.
 There are but three or four unoccupied
 cottages at the Cove and they will probably \ be rented before the first of August. Mr. and Mrs. John I. Goodrich are oceu.
 pying their fine cottage. MT. Stewart and family are at their cottage, the last before you reach the old lighthouse. ! Police Notes.
