Matters generally are quiet at the west
hore just now and the number of picnic
bookings for this week is rather small. The
week opened Monday with the German Odd
Fellows picnic, which was fairly well st-
ended. The party did not visit the shore
Until the afternoon and had good time until
he rain set in, when they were obliged to
Ieek shelter in the dancing pavilions and res
;aurants.
The storm Monday was most severely felt
1t the shore late in the afternoon and the
wind and rain caused more or less damage all
along the shore. The sky Immediately above
the Rock was particularly black and when the
slouds burst it seemed az though there was
going to be cyclone. The waves dashed
against the beach with fearful force and
reached height seldom attained along the
west shore. A number of trees were blown
down during the storm and several houses
damaged. A large pane of glass was broken
in the Kaiser cottage and q tree near by struck
by lightning. Several row and small sail
boats owned by cettagers were stranded or
swamped and o number of sailing parties
from New Haven were obliged to land hastily
in order to escape the big waves and wind.
The storm was one of the most severe felt at
the shore for many years.
One of the objects Of general admiration
ct the Rock Is Mr.. Anderson's handsome new
steam yacht. It cost several thousand dol
lars and measures thirty feet In length. Mr..
Anderson has not yet made trip In the
yacht, but IL paying man Ave dollars per
day to be In readiness to give him his initial
sail when the owners inclination suggests
the first voyage. Another pretty marine
aver Is Mr.. Fred II. Bentons new steam
but il marvel for neatness and speed. The
steam yachts have interested not few shore
residents, and 1t is likely that before the end
of the summer number of other new ones
will be seen at the Rock.

year Savin Rock loses for time at least some
of her residents. Among the latest who
have taken vacations from the shore are Mr..

Saratoga Monday. Next week Attorney j.
P. Goodhart and wife will visit the same re-
