Items About People In General In
 That Victn1ty-JOttfngs Along the West Shore.
 Among the distinguished visitors at the Cove this season is Hon. Dwight Bowers, of Elizabeth, N. J., Cbrother of ex-Senator Caleb B. Bowers, of this city,) whom many of our older citizens will remember as years ago clerk with the late Everard Benjamin, the jeweler, and a member and ex-oficer of the New Haven Grays at that time or later.
 Herbert c. Warren, of McAlister 6 War ren, is domiciled in one of the cottages at the Cove with his family.
 The beautiful grounds, velvety lawns, with the palm and other tropical trees and shrubs, together with the mounds of flowers on the place of Hon. Charles L. Mitchell our mem Der of Congress, on Townsend avenue attract the attention of the great number of people who take that drive each day to the Cove and lighthouse.
 The union picnic of the Woodwardtown Sunday school located in the Woodward town chapel, Four Corners the South Ha- ven Sunday school at South Haven and the Congregational church and Sunday school of East Haven was an affair the girls and boys of the schools will long remember with pleas ure. Their faces on their return bespoke the good time they had had.
 MT. William Woodward has moved in o his new house on Townsend avenue. It was built by MT. Henry Lancraft, of Fair Haven East (Annex.) It is quite an acquisition to that part of the avenue.
 One of the prettiest displays of it's kind when the Cove House and the neighboring cottages were illuminated last week was the cottage of MT. Joseph Belcher, father of Miss Belcher who took the silver cup at the rowing match given by Mir. Barkentin, the proprietor of the Cove House.
 Mir E. Fabrique, son of Hon. Asa l.. Fa- brique, who lives on Townsend avenue, is very sick. The many friends of this excel lent young man earnestly hope for his recov- cry.

HARTFORD RACES.

Each Days Programme Postponed One
 Day-maud s. to Arrive at Charter
 Oak Park To-Day-A Glance at the
 TrOtters at the Park.
 The rain of yesterday morning necessita- ted postponement of the programme at Charter Oak Park as arranged for the day and each days programme is thereby post poned one day so that (weather permitting) Saturday will be the last day of the races
 The pleasant weather of yesterday afternoon was very beneficial to the track, which will nrobably be in the best of condition to- day.
 Secretary Loomis stated yesterday that he had received telegram from Robert Bon ner stating that the celebrated 2:09 3-4 trot- ter Maud S. would be at the park to-day.
 Horse men and trotting horses were num- erous at the sheds and stables at Charter Oak Park yesterday afternoon. ''They are the best lot of horses that were ever at the park, !" said one of the officers of the associa- tion. A
 Wm. Rockefeller's pair, Independence and CIeora, are at the track in care of their train CT, MT. J. P. Gilbert, who drove them a mile on the track Saturday in the fast time of 2:17. They will endeavor to lower their record of 2:161-2 Mir. Gilbert drove En- chantrees and Feme Sole, another pair of the same string, and the latter young mare three years old, in 2:23 1-2.
 Edwin Thorne, Clemmie G., Catchfy and
 Phyllis were in their respective stalls sur rounded by every luxury that can be ot any benefit to them, and waiting to contest for the prizes in the 2:17 class to be trotted on Saturday.
 H. B. Winship, the hero of the 2:O6 record
 with running mate, is quartered in one ot the large box stalls, surrounded by wealth of beautiful blankets. He with Zoe B. Over man, Louisa N, George V. and several oth- CTS are entered in the 2:19 class to be called on Friday.
 Phil Thompson, promising young horse that has recently won record ot 2:l672, which he obtained since he was entered for this meeting, is at the park and is looked up
 on by many as a possible winner of first money (S5, ,OOO in the $10,000 purse offered to the 2;2O class which is to be called Thurs day Captain Enmons, Onward, Felix, Harry Wilkes, and Adelaide were noticed at the track yesterday. They are also entered in the 2:20 class.
 The fast running horses that are used by
 the lady equestriennes, Miss Myrtle Peek and Madam Marantette, were being exer-
 cised at the park yesterday. There are about dozen of them, all feet-footed runners. These races were very popular last year. Two or three races are on each days pro gramme, and the well filled classes indicate well contested races.
 A mammoth heifer that is said to be four years old and claimed to weigh $500 pounds is on exhibition near the entrance gate The heifer was raised in northern Connecticut and is a curiosity of the Jumbo order that is we'll worth seeing.

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.
Changes and Gains on Grand Stree
 Near The BarnesvilIe Bridge.

Changes and Gains on Grand Street
 Near The BarnesV1lIe Bridge.
 Grand street in the Gainesville bridge sec tion is looking up still more and continues to look up. Among the latest Improvements is one just about completed in the erection of neat two-story building of brick with plated front in the upper story. The west part will be used by Foskett & Bishop, whose shops are close by, they requiring additional room, and the east part is taken by Mr. S. D. Brad ley, the feed merchant, who now with this extension of his quarters has 16O feet front of buildings for the prosecution of his large business At moderate outlay the parties erecting the new building, Messrs. Ex-Mayor Sperry and E. s. Kimberly, add materially to their income from property in the locality and present continuation of the business look of the section. Grand street in this section has grown amazingly in 20, or even 10 years, and has the appearance as one ap- breaches it of being entirely independent of the water way, the street being now so well occupied with buildings all the way from the railroad to the Fair Haven side of the river. The new police precinct building adds decidedly to the improved appearance given to the lo- cality in late years, and Captain Treadwsll Smith. of the force, can boast of having con verted the unsightly lot at the side of the precinct into handsome lawn by his own exertions. The increase of thriftiness in this section of the city is given emphasis by the action of some of the owners of residences in having the street in front of their homes regularly cleaned at intervals and rendered free from rubbish and litter. This display of energy and taste calls for a word of praise end the increase of pride in one's surround 1ugsgr0Ws with Ghe eyer increasing prosper aS Che city.
