part of the season was quite cold and unfay-
orable, the guests were few but the appear
apce of the warm summer days awakened
new life at the shore. The guests since then
have been unusually numerous aud better
prices are obtained for rooms this year than
last. It is claimed that the west shore has
received greater patronage this summer
than any resort near New Haven. While the
