The hot weather having again been felt the
visitors at the shore have become more nu-
rnereus during tho past week, which opened |
very encouragingly with the Turner's big
picnic The Teutonia Manner Chor spent
q quiet day at this picnic, and only thsir fine
singing under the the. leadership of Prof.
Bruch made the days doings worthy of mem
ton. The Savin Rockers predict an ex-
tremely hot spell during August, when
large number of picnics are to occur.
The G. A. r. picnic committee held a
meeting Wednesday evening and decided to
have their picnic day celebrated at the west
shore, although the date has not yet been de-
termined upon. The fact that this picnic
will take place at Sayin Rock II quite satis-
factory to the restaurateura, as their financial
results for the summer are determined in
measure by few of these large picnics,
which always bring goodly number to the
shore.
The Twelfth Connecticut regiment will
hold its reunion at Savin Rock, August 5.

Some time next month the Hills Home
stead will be occupied by the Twenty
Connecticut regiment. One of those inimita-
BILE Hills dinners will be served on that occa-
sion.
Officer Rice of the West Shore police Ia
credited with quite neat piece of detective
work this week. Some time last week man
| from New Haven, while ct the shore was
stroped inn by a clever thief who relieved him
of valuable scarf pin and chain. The
loser told of his loss to the police who, hav-
| ing description of the culprit, have been
| on the lookout ever since. Last Tuesday
Constable Rice, who is on duty at the Rock,
| thought he disc oVered his man and arrested
him while the latter was with some compan-
| ions. The fellow gave his name as Thomas
Costello. The officer was sure of his
man. -. but owing to 18th, the fact fact
| erty could not be found, the arrested man
was afterward released. 1t is supposed that
Costello is one of few who have made sew
/ eral raids on the pockets of the unwatchful
1 and it is thought that neither he nor his
companions will again play their games at
the shore.
The BARRIERS union together with 700 peo-
pie from Waterbury, Saturday will, if the

and largest gatherings at the shore this sea-

Sullivan of this city, was thrown into the
water by the shock and received thorough
ducking. The boat was very frail and hardly
seaworthy.
