DOWN AT sAvIN ROCK.
labor Day Picnic to be Held at the
l Rock Probably After All-Southing-
ton Captures and Holds Savin Rock
For One Day-A Rousins Ball Came
Notes Along Shore-A Move For
,Busses.
Yesterdays fine weather frightened up all
Savin Rock. It wore its best dress and oil
nature thereabouis looked refreshed by the
recent heavy rain. Southington owned the
Rock yesterday. There were fully two hum
bred Southington people there, mostly clerks
and merchants and their ladies, and all the
stores in Southington were closed for the
day. Their first notable exploit was attack
ing a magnificent shore dinner at the Hills
Homestead. Course after course was demol-
ished and the dinner gave complete satisfsc-
| ton. The event of the afternoon was great
base ball game on the lot on Beach street in
front Of the Converse House. Here was a
scene of dire warfare between the Center
| streets on one side and the Main streets on
the other. Old Sol shone down benignantly
at first and then fercely, but still the combat
l ragged. crowd of spectators viewed the
battle from in front of the Converse House
and from the side street. Bursts of enthusi-
asm made the welkin ring as a fine base hit
was made and big shouts of encouragement
followed to those on bases. The heat grew
intense and the players perspired profusely,
| but the activity kept on undated until the
| close, about $780, when the Center streets re-
| tired victors, score 10 to 8. The players were
| as follows:

One of the players who acquitted himself
nobly at first base was popular Baptist
| clergyman, Rev. Mr.. Bosworth. The South
ingtonites left the rock at o'clock for home
in i've special cars, all we'll pleased with the
L day q sport. They enlivened matters at the
rock considerably and will be welcomed
| again.
Some of the Southington young men in
spected at much length the workings of the
| wheel of fortune, and it was busy scene at
one of the wheels for over half an hour,
crowd of about thirty being assembled
around it.
Yesterday was day of special interest at
the rock also in view of the presence of
committee representing the movement for
holding Labor day picnic at the rock again.
| From what could be learned the committee
decided yesterday that the inducements of
fered at Savin Rock were SO very satisfactory
| that this great picnic, one sure to attract
| thousands, would surely be held at the rock,
| despite the recent reports to the contrary.
| The anticipation of this result gave great
satisfaction thereon at the rock
One of tho busiest and liveliest scenes at
the Rock yesterday was ct Putnams restau-
rant and pavilion, formerly Howes'. Here
| crowds enjoyed a fine sea food dinner of the
| kind for which Putnam Is noted, and colored
l musicians and vocalists kept up the interest
in the outer pavilion. The bathing houses
all along the shore were patronized, the day
being fine for dip in the waves. There was
also an endless panorama of passing teams
along Beach street and other shore drives.
| The teams going to and returning from West
Haven now take the shore road, the first
which branches off from Kimberly avenue
and passes near the shipyard, where Henry
Sutton's big $500 ton vessel looms up,
very conspicuous sight. The macadamizing
of Elm street is now in progress, and when
the grading and matchmaking ia done the
street will be greatly improved. But it is
pity the work was not begun earlier 40 that
l IL oould have hean c0mn1efed hafore the rush
of shore travel began.
At meeting recently held at O. Fl. Mil
ler's pavilion it was determined to contract
for line of twelve 'busses which will run
every day of the week from the Green in this
city to the shore at intervals of fifteen min
utes each. They are to be furnished by O.
| M. Wooding. 1t Is expected to get them
running upon regular trips in short time.
