SUMMER OUTINGS.

Juniper POtn0-A Picturesque Spot
 Plenty of mOsquItoes-St. Francis
 tension.
 Parties from the Young Mems Christian associations of Meriden, Bristol, Waterbury and New Haven-numbering altogether about 40-boarded the Messenger, Captain Foster, yesterday morning. They were on the way to Gin Rock, a romantic position overlooking the Thimbles, where they will encamp for week. Before many days they expect guests who will swell their party to over hundred. Their camp is midway be- tween Stony Creek and Pine Orchard and is thought by some as the most picturesque spot along the coast. It is known as Juniper Point. The young men had come prepared to rough it for week and all luxuries were left behind. Each man had bundle of straw and blanket. A large clearing has been made and tents set up. To one side of the camp were erected three long tables to be used for dining purpose, and set up against pine tree short distance away was a cook ing stove. Provisions will be obtained at StonyCreek and the party has chartered row. | boats to be used for pleasure and fishing. The gentlemen are going to get along without further religious services than morn \ ing and evening prayers. Poisonous sumac | fourishes over there and the young men will have to look out for it. It is also said that l mosquitoes for miles around make the point their evening stamping ground and they t'tip the light fantastic toe'' until the ''wee | sn1a' hours" The party, however, is under | the protection of Mir. Brown of Meriden, and I were in the best of spirits last night.

Great and extensive preparations for the day had been made and the 800 or more people who were aboard the Elm City as it started testified to the enthu- I siasm and spirit of the church people. Much l was due to the active work of the committee who awoke everyone to full appreciation oi the enjoyment ready for them.
 Flags and flying bunting decked the steam CT as it sailed from Belle dock at 9 o'clock and the decks were crowded with young and old, who gaily waved handkerchiefs and hatf to the crowd on shore.
