ALONG THE sHonE.

EaStINcBs
 The hot weather of the last three days caused many people to leave for stony Creek and the Thi1nble Islands to spend Sunday at the hore, and the trains over the Shore Line division were crowded with passengers. On bright day after leaving the train at Stony Creek the visitor is blinded by the glare oi the sun shining on the hard shell road which stretches out before him, but after walk oi a quarter of mile bend in the road shows him view of the Sound and the islands which fully repays him for his long dusty walk over the shell road. About the grounds in front of the Three Elm House the boarders last Saturday were lying around under the trees in the shade reading and talking, and enjoying the strong breeze blowing from the Sound, which caused the sailboats running among the isl ands to tip, much to the alarm of the timid ladies on board, who with scared looks asked the captains if there was any danger, and on being assured by the latter that there was none began to enjoy the sail. On the lawn in front of Frink's lawn tennis net was sci up and some of the gentlemen boarders were engaged in playing that delightful game while some of their lady friends were occu pied in watching them. The skating rink was open, but no one was ambitious enough to indulge in that amusement, which at this time of the year causes the perspiration to come forth freely on the skaters brow. At the dock half dozen sailboats were tied and their captains were busy looking for party to go sailing and enjoy the strong, cool breeze blowing, as there had been no wind for the previous two days. The new steamer Messenger lay out in the channel about one hundred feet from the docks, she being unable to come up to the latter at low water, and row boat was used in conveying the passengers from the dock to the steamer. This steamer is of great convenience to the people who have oc- casion to go between the islands and the main shore.
 The next place of interest to be visited is Flying Point, place about half 8 miles pleasant drive from Frink's. On the road to the point, which was most of the way near the shore, many new and pretty cottages have been built during the past year, most of which are not as yet occupied, but will be during August, the month which each year is becoming more and more the fashionable month to spend at the shore, as the seasons are now somewhat later than formerly. On reaching the point the visitor obtains a fine view of islands and sound from the large broad verandah which runs around Landlord Northrep's Island
 
 boarders, and many newcomers could not be accommodated yesterday. A sail among the numerous islands gives the visitor the i'm pression that Stony Creek and the Thimble Islands are the pleasantsst summer resorts on the Connecticut shore. On Pot Island "Bif1y" Barnes and his dog "Jack" holds forth as usual this summer, and about thirty boarders stopping at his hotel, the Thimble Island House, and Billy" expects a housefun during the coming month of August Most of the visitors at Pot Isl and take the trouble to climb the long flight of stairs to the top of Bil1y's" tower where the view from the latter place fully pays them for their trouble. The railing around the tower at the top is badly defaced, as nearly all who climb to the top cuts their initials in the rail On Money Island several of the cot tages are vacant, and the Money Island House is rapidly filling up. The proprietor makes it very pleasant for the guests. many of whom come again. On Governors Island, the next principal island of the group, some of the cottages are rented, but not many, and on the other islands there are but few boarders. Between Money and High islands, lay at anchor Commodore Dieker sons handsome schooner yacht the "Mar- guerite," of New York with party of the friends on board, who were snjoying life to it's fullest extent. Off the end of Money island lay Wayland's yacht, the "Viola," with another small sloop yacht at anchor near by. The smiling face of the every ready (to make quarter) Captain Billy" Bayne is seen among the islands again this summer with his pretty catboat, the ''Yale," |" with her handsome blue pennant at the masthead. High Island, which is the larg sst island in the group, and has not a cot age on it, is well adapted for parties wish ng to camp out and to-day party of about IA High school scholars will begin camp fife on this island and remain for week or 5wo.
