Rapid Transit From This City TO Savin
Rock-Public Sentiment at the Shore
on the Subject-A Very Favoraole
outlook for the Project-Savin ROCKS
Future Viewed in the Light OF Rapid
Transit-The Season at the shore

verein,s Day OF ut the shore.
Public sentiment at the shore Ia strongly
In favor of steam or an electric road to the
shore. They want quicker, speedier means
of transportation to the shore. The senti-
ment is crystalizing strongly in favor of
this change, which would be hailed with
great satisfaction. The sentiment is ex.
pressed oil along shore by shore business
men and shore cottsgers that such a change
would mean great boom to the shore
would enhance West haven shore property
In value greatly-would open up more shore
territory below Ssvin Rock and prove of i'm
msnce benefit financially. And from the
monetary benefit would be the increased
comfort OF journey to the shore. Such
rapid communication with the shore would
bring large excursion parties from all parts
of the State, and from southern Massachu-
sets. Direct communication could be made
40 that passengers could be taken from this
city to the shore of Long Island Sound at
Savin Rock In ten or fifteen minutes. The
West Haven horse railroad authorities,
President Kelsey and Mr.. Ward, have ex-
pressed themselves very favorably regarding
the project, and 1t seems probable that the
day is not far distant. when there will be
rapid transit to the shore as we'll as
the present horse railroad communication.

the sunshine of prosperity. The backward,
unpropitious, wet, drizzly season has been
succeeded by q season of sunshine, and great
rush of travel to tine shore. The shore re-
freshment places have had a boom for the
past two or three weeks. Money drawers
that yawned with emptiness are once more
plethoric with the "silver cart wheels" and
the shiny silver change, and the pocketbooks
OF the proprietors once more look plethoric
with Uncle Sans notes. Cheerfulness con-
sequently reigns. and the proprietors begin
TO think that they eau pay their rent bills,
assessme nts, taxes and other expenses and
close the season with a profit. The Massa-
soft has done we'll. Mr.. Putnam reports an
encouraging season in the past few weeks
with larger number of calls for his popular
shore dinners than ever. Mr.. Skeeles finds
the balance on the right side Of the ledger;
Hills Brothers never had more thriving sea-
guests; the Lucas House never had better
season; the Railroad Grove restaurant has
prospered and the Beach House, Mr.. Moegling
reports, has had q season that encourages him
still further In his belief in the future of
Savin Rock and the relish of the public
for good dinners. Restaurateur Skeeles
touched his fifty eighth milestone yesterday
and found numerous evidences of regard
from appreciative friends and testimonies of

cately suggestive of the hilarity attending
good living and a conservative care in keep

hilarity In Railroad Grove yesterday was
greatly augmented by the presence of large
picnic party composed Of members of the
Sohwaben verein and their families and
friends. They seemed TO be enjoying life
with full confidence that life was we'll
worth living, and filled the dancing pavilion
with merriment as tho may dances proceed

for ten years. Jacob Wambergsr 10 pres

Goodbride, treasurer. All the members of
the society are Wurtembergers by birth or

The little bluefsh have come and many of
them are being caught off the docks at Savin
Rock shore. One young lady caught fifteen
yesterday. Skeeles' dock bristled with fish
Ing rods yesterday afternoon after the tide
had come up and covered the beach, and the
bluefish were around and giving the anglers
something to do. Many ladies were among
the anglers, some of whom were from the
old Bay State.
