 Sayin Rock restaurateurs smiled once again yesterday, Old Sol having deigned to show his welcome face once more and the sunshine was most welcome, although it brought sultriness alike at the shore and in the city. The last few days have been very dull and dispiriting for the catering and amusement business men at the shore, Grain, rain, rain,n being the cause. But the city people kept from visiting the shore by the continued rain of late rallied in force with the children and went to the shore yester. day, glad to get away from the hot and sultry city and take an airing and an outing, mixed in many cases with salt water bathing. There was no special picnic or excursion to the shore yesterday, but the restaurants and places of amusement were well patronized; also the bathing places, and there was life and gaiety all along the shore. Meriden, Wallingford, Derby, An < sonia, Birmingham. Milford, Waterbury, Hamden, Cheshire and other places are rep resented at the shore either by cottagers or < boarders at the hotels, and all these places were also represented yesterday by visitors who had either driven down or come by the ! steam cars. There were merry times in Railroad Grove at the merry -go-rounds, the | swings and at Reiner's comic performance, which has had it's run and will pack up to- day to go elsewhere Mr. Morgan, one of ! the leading men at the Clock company, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Stevens, widow of the late | much lamented Edward Stevens (who was | for many years 80 prominently identified ! with the same establishment, ,and with Daven- port church interests), and lady friends are | occupying the fine Morgan cottage on Beach l street Fear Savin Rock. MT. Morgan is one S of the stand byes among the Savin Rock cot- | tagers, finding his residence there and accom- panying acquaintance with the off shore sea in all it's moods most restful and healthful. MT. Armstrong and family and friends are located in Mr. Armstrong's new large and very handsome shore residence on Beach street, about eight hundred feet from Savin Rock.
 Mrs. Osborn of St. John street, widow of the late Charles H. Osborn, a former promi- nent New Haven builder, is occupying cot- 5 tage on Beach street, near the Armstrong cottage, together with members of the fami- Fly. Her son, Mir. Frank Fl. Osborn, the pop ular music teacher and tenor singer, has re- gently returned from four weeks stay on
 Long Island, and goes to sing for several Sundays this season at Englewood, N. J.
 Down at Savin Point. MT. Bradley's pretty | domain, MT. Bradley's cottages are occupied
 as follows; MT. John Sesquin of Darlington , | South Carolina, and family occupy one.
 Mr. Sesquin is proprietor of the Darlington Wagon works in Darlington. Another is \ occupied by MT. Davis and family of New Haven. MT. Davis was parts
 ner in the former Chapel street grocer firm \ of Leigh 6 Davis, who were located near the New Haven Opera House. MT. F. s. Andrew, \ the pork packer of this city and provision | dealer in the City Market, and Mr. Moves T. Andrews of the New Haven Beef company | on Long wharf occupy the cottage on the \ Point. No prettier sea beach for bathing is
 to be found anywhere along the coast in the I vicinity of New Haven than that of Proprie.
 tor Cox of the Surf House in the little bay
 between Savin Rock and Savin Point. Bath \ CTS come there from all along the shore and
 from the city. MT. Cox's Surf House is be- ing extensively patronized again this season
 owing to the high reputation of the shore
 dinner there and pleasant surroundings. Nr.
 Cox is just recovering from siege with
 chiIls and fever. He will go to Florida again to winter next winter for health and tol
 business purposes.
 Quite commotion was caused along shore ' At bAS 1SOcA yoStcAuay Oy tAo hEH1taA O4 O6
 terer O. Howes from Florida. He was kept
 constantly busy shaking hands and exchang ing warm greetings. Mir. Howes' new hotel \ at Anastasia Island is prospecting greatly The island is just off the coast from St. Au. I gustine and the island is just being brought
 into market for residences and summer
 homes by northern and southern enterprise ! combined. Heretofore it has been idle prop I erty. Caterer Howes was seized upon as the
 man to help develop it. He responded and
 built hotel a little larger than the Beaet
 House, West Haven. It faces the ocear
 and the big ocean steamers pass within \ 600 feet of the house in going to and from | Cuba. Capitalists have built and equipped \ & horse railroad line which runs across the I narrow island to Howes' hotel and thence \ also up and down the island for four or five
 miles, the idea being to open up the land fol
 building sites. The land has been laid out \ and divided into lots and many lots have
 been sold. The hotel is we'll patronized bott
 by boarders and transient visitors and excur.
 sion parties from St. Augustine. The island
 is narrow, but is eighteen miles long and
 there is no other hotel upon it
 The little bluefsh, 30 gamy and desirable for the dining table, are showing themselves | la considerable numbers about Sayin Rock ! Numbers of them were caught yesterday
 morning early off Skeeles' wharf. They are { very small yet, t'no longer than toothpick, " \ as described yesterday by young lady who
 caught ten of them of Skeelss' rock. But
 lovers of blue6shing will be interested te
 know that the little snappers are appearing
 in such numbers as to promise large catches | of them this season in our waters.
