 son Park-Capt.- Fred Hughes and the Catamaran Cyclone szas
 STONY CREEK, August 1.-The shore busi- ness in this vicinity has not been as good during the month that has just passed as was hoped, owing to the cold, rainy weather and general dullness of the times, but at present there is slight boom. The hotels herea- bouts have been pretty well filed Most of the cottages are occupied. But there is com splaint that people do not spend as much money as usual. There are less boarders at the small houses. The steamer Philadelphia
 brings down large parties to Pawson Park l and the islands.
 POT ISLAND.
 At Pot Island business is rushing, and Landlord Barnes has scarcely time enough to himself to draw full breath. Just now the
 genial landlord is complaining about party of Germans that came to his island last Sun day, spoiled lot of his lumber, sold their own beer, did not buy anything from him, and now want to get off by paying about one-third of the price agreed upon for the island. MT. Barnes says he will run his own picnics hereafter.
 An attraction at the island is the catama- ran Cyclone, owned by Capt. Fred Hughes of New York. The captain is now spending few days there with two friends of his. They will leave for New London next Tuesday. Captain Hughes says he has given up racing his catamarans against horses, chiefly on account of the prejudice people have against having horses put through such a test It will be remembered that last sum
 ner two races were contested between the catamaran Jessie and the horse Boston from New York to this place. The Jessie won the first and lost the second. Coptain Hughes made $500 on the first race and lost $500 on the second. The horse was not at all injured by the trial and is well to-day as ever. Captain Hughes says there are to be two great catamaran races over the Hoboken course in the fall.
 Arthur Harrison of Philadelphia, brother of Lynde Harrison, has been at the island. During his stay he took some views of the island with his instantaneous apparatus, which are very fine. MT. Harrison takes great interest in photography as an amuse- ment.
 There are 5 regular boarders at the Thimble Island House. The cottage connect ed with the hotel will be occupied next week with party who will board at the hotel. Recent arrivals as follows; J. NJ.
