 Lawn tennis is not 30 popular with the young people here This season as it was last, although there are several courts that are used nearly every day.
 The work of planting shells down the har- bor still goes merrily on and large number of Italians and Swedes are given employment in loading schooners, sloops and sharpies. Several concerns are looking for more help and offer $1.75 per day. Thus it is that the "dull" season in the oyster business becomes about the liveliest of the year with this diff ference: Now it is all output with no in- come.

 Many residents in the vicenty of the Four Corners complain largely of the manner ir ' which everything in that neighborhood has been allowed to run loose, and they think that the board of selectmen ought to do some | thing in that portion of the town. The union picnic of the Sons of Temper | ance at Pawson Park Saturday was a sue cessful and pleasant affair. There were gen. | erous sized delegations from Fair Haven, New Haven. West Haven and the Four Cor ners, and all who attended devoted them I selves to reaping all the enjoyment the occa- sion afforded

The borough police say that everything has been remarkably quiet on the East side since the fire of last week. The usual contingent that used to hang around the corners at late hours, and which generally waited to receive an invitation from the police before seeking the seclusion of their homes, has been absent and the city has beeu augmented in popula. tion to that extent. In fact, the inability to secure glass ot beer in the borough has ben eftted New Haven saloon keepers hundreds of nickels daily.
