 the center of attraction on the Fourth over
 ten thousand people visited the shore during
 the day. The rongher element was eosent
 and the crowd was most orderly one. It took the railroad company the greater part of
 the day to convey the vast multitude to the
 Rock, and three cars were run at every trip. The work of the railroad employees was com mendable as hardly an accident worthy of mention occurred on the road. All the four teen "extra" cars were in use.
 The shore residents held their miniature lantern festival Wednesday evening, and most of the cottages were tastily decorated. There was also large pyrotechnic display. A New Haven man whose name could not be learned, had rather unpleasant ex- I perience. He had just returned to Skeeles' bathing pavilion after enjoying a bath, when he was taken with severe attack of cramps. The services of Dr. Wilson were called into reputation, and not until after an hours ex- ertion did the doctor succeed in restoring the sufferer. He had probably remained in the water too long time. His recovery is \ expected.
 Thomas Hurley and 8 party of four other young men of this city sailed in small yacht ! to Bridgeport Tuesday and on their return ' Wednesday afternoon attempted to land off | the Savin Rock coast. The men were inebri- \ ated and in attempting to land collided with ' 6 pier and the yachts mast was broken. Ali ter considerable effort the boat was landed | and the young seamen were obliged to wend \ their way homeward by other means than \ that by which they had come.
 \ oI,a1l g. 1Ovv Cnu pany gave 6 presentation at the Sea View par lors Wednesday evening to fair audience. The entertainment was good.
 \ Savin Rock restaurateurs are considerably \ interested in an affair which concerns mostly
 those doing business in the Grove For
 some reason the proprietors of the Grove have placed board fence directly in front of MT. Lynch's bowling alleys, which are situ- ' ated on the line separating the Grove from other property The fence cuts of Lynch's place from all communication with the \ Grove. The last named gentleman claims ' that putting up of the fence was influenced through MT. B. .Reiner, the Grove restaura- teur. The friends of MT. Lynch are consid- \ erably aroused over flaeg gmatter. A fence has s also been placed around the Grove, cutting TwitchelIs ''Massasoit" House from all the \ advantages of Grove business. Twitchen, however, does not seem to care much and as- \ serts that his business cannot be injured in \ that way. The fences were put up the day before the Fourth and it was rumored that \ they would be torn down, but no movement \ has been made in the matter as yet. Mrs. Hahn, of New York city, is stopping | at the shore as guest of MT. I. Rosenberg on Beach street.
 Miss Carrie Babcoek is spending the heated season with Grove street friends. The Grove cottage opened it's doors for the season July 1st under the management of Mrs. Converse.
 MT. H. A. Converse, proprietor of Grove
