New Haven People Recreatfng- Ex-
 eursions and Journeyings-An Un- r. welcome VfSftOr-A Fine Catch of
 TrOut-Royvfng Match Tonight.
 The continuance of the hot wave is broken
 occasionally by showers, more or less refresh ing according to how much they cool the air, and the average citizen seeks by whatever means in his power to keep cool and divert his mind from consideration of the mercury in the thermometer. Although late in the sea- son the steamboats and steam cars and the
 horse cars are carrying more tourists and ex- cursionists than they did earlier in the sea- son. Even in this warm spell excursion par ties go to East Rock Park daily and declare that the cool breeze which reigns perpetually
 at the top of the rock repays for the perspir- ing climb to get to that happy altitude.
 Appointment New Haven gentleman, wife and child returned to the city from a fash
 ionable and expensive mountain hotel re- gently, having been driven away by the ap-
 pearance of diphtheria at the house. A sick
 babe brought the disease, and although it
 was taken away as soon as possible two other
 infants fell sick with the disease and the
 whole hotel was in consequence disinfected
 by the use of carbolic acid. The diphtheria
 and the carbolic acid combined have mate
 rially thinned out the guests of the house,
 much to the regret of all, as the hotel is one
 of the finest and best conducted in that region.
