SEVERAL L sHOnE LOTS sOLD.


 A Good Sized Crowd Hut They Were
 Very Backward at Bidding.
 A good sized crowd was grouped about double phaeton carriage in which stood Auc- tioneer w. s. Sanford on the pleasantly To- oated high stretch of ground at Beach street and Second avenue on the West Haven shore yesterday afternoon. The Mathushek band in uniform were stan ding in q little circle just removed from the auctioneer's carriage. Town Clerk Walter A. Main, the owner of the property, and Mir. E. W. Wilmot were standing around watching the proceeding, and the auctioneer was trying his utmost to get his many hearers to make bids upon the pleasant lots about which they stood. Talk as he might the speculators seemed shy and were not at all forward or enthusiastic in making bids for the land. The first lot sold was that marked on the diagram as No. 50. It is situated on the corner of Second avenue and Middle street, o new thoroughfare just ploughed through, and it's dimensions are 60x130 feet. The successful bidder was Horace Kelsey. He gave $3 front foot and took the lot at $160.
 The neighboring lot, number 49, sold at $2.25 front foot. It was 50x133 feet. But three others were sold from this portion. Auctioneer Sanford almost shed bitter tears to think of real estate selling at this low fig ure, but all of his eloquence could not put 6 bit of enthusiasm into the crowd. The next of the three was bought by Charles T. Sher- man ct @. 25, per front foot the second by F. L. Mead at @. and the third by W. M. Rus sell ct $225.
 The auctioneer then held 8 consultation with MT. Main and they decided to start the lots facing what was called Third avenue, a stretch of land running into Beach street that has just been broken by the plough. Six lots there were sold. They had frontage of 50 feet each and were about 100 feet deep. They sold for $1 front foot.
 But one of the fine lots on Second avenue
 between Middle and Beach streets, was offer cd. This was taken by w. M. Russell at
 $a;So !aS front foot. Its dimensions were 50x
