East Rock Palk,

About Two Thousand Visftors-CooI Temperaturs-The Restaurant-FaIl-
 ing BOuIders-Aa Ideal Improvement
 of the Meadows at the Rocks Base.
 The number of people visiting East Rock Park yesterday was estimated at from 2,OO0 to 2,50O. The warm weather deterred many from walking out. Quite large number went out in carriages. Between four and five o'clock yesterday afternoon there were from sixty to one hundred carriages at 8 time on the top of East Rock and convenient hitching places were rather scarce at times. Pedestrians who walked to the top of the Rock were more than pleased to find that there was cool breeze blowing constantly over it's summit and that the temperature was delightfully."- cool and comfortable. The State street and Whitneyville cars carried 8 good many passengers, though less than on number of other pleasant Sundays. The restaurants piazzas at the top of the Rock were occupied most of the afternoon by la- dies and gentlemen. The restaurant is about finished. It has not yet been hired. The contract will be awarded soon by the park commissioners.
 Superintendent Beebe was called Fri day to remove two large pieces of rock, which, becoming detached from the southwestern face of the Rock fell. A carriage in which were two ladies was approaching on Farnam drive, and the occu- pants had narrow escape from being killed by the falling rocks. A gentleman who was sitting talking with MT. Good, the ferrymaa at the foot of Farnan drive, heard the rocks I.I
 who stopped their team in good season.
 A citizen of New Haven, who disported when boy at the Seat of Happiness and who was recently surveying the meadows which lie at the foot of the rock and lap onto the beautiful piece of woods owned by Yale college, is eager that all this valley between the foot of Whitneyville dam and the Orange street bridge over Mill river be connected by means of dam at Orange street into lake, or else that by means of dam the Mill river be kept constantly full of fresh water to the top of its banks and the salt meadows re- claimed and made into beautiful lawn. He rather inclines in favor of the lawn and the fresh water. He expatiates eloquently on the beauty of SO large level surface of lawn as would be gained by the meas ure proposed and tine great advan- tages to be derived by the use of said large surface Of lawn for lawn tennis, for croquet, for base ball and for otber pur poses. Then with river full of fresh water, fresh water fish would soon catch on to the idea and become impregnatsd with it and choose there waters for home for them selves and progeny and even many families of them would very soon emigrste from Lake Whitney even at the risk of grand plunge over the dam which many fish have taken without injury. He thinks that if the meadow surface in question does not all be- long to the East Rock Park, that it ought to, and for one he would like the public to take his views. which have herewith been detailed, into respectful consideration.

With BurgIarious Intent,

Looking for Tools With Which to Ccm- init DepredatiODs-A Word of Cau- tiOn.
 On Saturday evening burglars broke into Barnum $ Roots factory on Church street with the evident intent of stealing tools to commit burglary elsewhere. They were apprehended by the watchman and before the police van arrived they escaped. Last evening there was an attempt about o'clock at the same place when the atchmsn tele- phoned to the police station for help. The van was sent in hurry with two policemen, but before they arrived there the burglars had escaped. In 8 chair were found two cold chisels, two files and wrench such as IS used by plumbers. Had the watchman used little more discretion in the matter the thieves and would-be burglars would probab ly have been caught. It is very evident that the men were not experts in the business. The near approach of July 4th and the great celebration to occur on that day, with the probability of hundreds of strangers in the city on that day, many of them with evil intent, would seem to be caution to house. dows and prevent if possible the thieves from making undue inroads upon their per sonal property. The old saying still remains true that Gan ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure"
