 Fortune has not seen fit to smile on the shore merchants lately and the weather has not been conducive to their financial success. l People, however, seem determined to visit 1 the Rock in spite of the ceol damp weather, and none of the many picnics thus far booked | have been postponed on account of bad | weather.
 Miss Jennie Landfar, of New Britain, is l paying short visiting among shore rela- 1 tives.
 Oriental Park residents are to have a fine tennis court soon. 4 number of other courts are soon to be made.
 The Locomotive Bremen, who were so well dined at the Miller pavilion last We'd nesday, will again visit the Rock next year.
 Landlord Lucas of the Lucas House is quite i'll with nervous prostration.
 Extensive preparations are being made for the picnic of the New Haven Turn Verein next Monday. A large number of car tickets have already been purchased by the Turner's. There is to be fine athletic exhibition by the members of the association.
 Since the change in the connection of the of an inpurity in the water has disappeared. | The water is now supplied from the Salton- stall reservoir.
 Cottager Linde of Beach street, who has been confined to his house for 8 number of weeks past, is again permitted to enjoy the I outdoor fresh air.
 The question of running horse cars to the I shore on Sunday continues topic of discus l sion In 8 recent communication in the ! COURIER from the president of the road reasons were given why the road re- ! fused to take action in the matter. l The cause given herein did not satisfy how | ever some of the shore residents and restaur- ateurs who claim it to be of much disadvan- \ tage to the host of city people who are desirs \ ous of enjoying their only holiday of the ! week, and also is it annoying to shore resi- | dents desiring to visit the city, On the oth- \ CT hand the decision gives great satisfaction | to many occupants of shore cottages who op- pose strenuously the running of Sunday | horse cars on the ground that it will not only | bring people of respectable life to the shore, but would bring rabble of toughs and hard \ customers also who would make disturbances, | indulge in broils and fsticuffs and spoil the present good order now so prevalent at the ' shore that ladies enjoy the security and have ! little fears of annoyance.
 | Mr. Joseph Kaiser and family have rented the MaIley cottage TOT Gno season.
 The Hartford Foresters made merry at the | West Haven shore last Thursday. The day \ was most dissgreeable one, but the Capital I city visitors nevertheless had a good time, A dinner was served in the Grove Palace, ! Dancing was afterward indulged in. Lan- ! drigan furnished music. The Foresters re- ! turned home in the afternoon.
 | Shore residents were much interested in 8 boat race which came off last Wednesday I evening, and in which tho participants were \ Miss Hattie Nyers Miss Della Zunder on one side, and Miss Theresa Metzger and Miss ! Ida Rogowskf on the other. The \ winning boat was the Josephine, containing
 the Misses Metzger and Rogowski. The dis | tance was about mile and the sail was 8 \ most interesting and lively one. The Adler pier, where the race terminated, was tastily ! decorated with colors representing both boats. A costly prize has been awarded to the win. ! ners. The same young ladies will again strive to test superiority with the oars later ! in the season.
 | Professor Bauman and family, of Pennsyl- vanis, also Mrs. Lintel of Bristol, Mir. and Mrs. Baker, Mir. Garfield from Thomaston, Conn., and Miss Dutton, of Philadelphia, are \ guests of SkeelesI Icottage for the summer. On July 25th the Teutonia Menner Chor of Connecticut will spend a day of | pleasure at the rock. Prize singing will be among the exercises of the day.
 ! An unpleasant incident occurred near the | | have resulted disastrously. AS 8 party of inebriated individuals were driving down the \ shore road, through the probable carelessness ! of the driver, the carriage was overturned | throwing the occupants out. Fortunately no injury beyond the breaking of a wheel re-
 suited, but the ladies were much terrified. It is almost miraculous that so few aecis
 dents occur at the Rock from fast driving.
 Some of the finest horse flesh is exhibited on
 the Shore road during pleasant day and the | Rock is sometimes really converted into a | regular driving park. There seems to be no
 enforced law in West Haven against fast ! driving, so that the bold holder of the rib
 bons is granted all freedom in driving. There l have been several narrow escapes from acci- | dents this summer.
