 "All that is wanted to make business ! good," said MT. Putnam, the restaurateur al Savin Rock, ''is spell of bright hot weather 1 Then you will see business start right up at 1 the shore houses. At present all is quiet ex- 1 cept occasional short spurts of business. '' l Said another proprietor yesterday: "We don't usually get agoing here at the Rock un- ! til after the Fourth of July. After that we generally expect to see business driving un-
 less we have an exceptionally cold summer. ! We really hope the weather this summer will l not go hard with us."
 l Yesterdays bright weather brought few 1 more visitors to the shore than usual at this point in the season. The wind was from off ! the Sound, making it delightfully."- cool at the ] shore cottages, and not few ladies not in 1 robust health wore wraps to the shore and ! were not sorry therefor. The wind blew up 1 strong and fresh and sent the big waves roll | ing in at New Haven's Coney leland in fine ! see the big waves roll in and break in fierce curl of seething ! frothy water on the beach. The waves broke over the island of rocks off Bradley's Point ! in fine style. throwing up the foamy spray from 20 to 30 feet high in spurts over the ] rocks. A fine view of the regatta of the New Haven Yacht club and of the steamer Elm City was obtainable from off Savin Rock. The Elm City lay handsomely on the water, now apparently still, now moving again to follow the cousse; and the yachts bending and careening with bellied sails q tlyy QR IT0r IOCr Hno spectacle.
 The demand for cottages at Savin Rock and below the Rock is unabated. There are
 few signs out of cottages to rent, but only
 few, and these are not the most desirable or expensive. There are 8 number of cote
 tages bearing signs Rooms to Rent," show ing that all the rooms are not yet spoken for. Some very desirable cottages are open to roomers and boarders, but bear DO signs to inform the visitors seeking quarters. Mir. Hofmeister, the stove dealer, has
 taken the Bradley cottage at the outer end of Bradley Point, below the Rock, for the summer.
 Hon. John H. Leeds is away in Europe,
 but Mrs. Leeds and daughter and friends are
 frequently to be seen at their cottage on
 pleasant days.
 At not few places at the shore the own CTS are building additions. MT. Cox, of the Surf house, just below the Rock, has just built on two additions, one giving @ hand- some enlargement of his dining room, an- other much enlsrging his kitchen depart ment, the requirements of his patronage de- manding the extension. MT. Cox is once more in the enjoyment of excellent health, his southern trips having restored him to his wonted vigor.
 MT. O'Connell is building large extension in tEe rear of his house with shed underneath for hitching teams and rooms overhead.
 Mrs. Austin, prominent among the lady workers of the Dwight Place church, has taken a cottage at Oriental park, which Mir. and Mrs. Austin will occupy July 1st.
 Mrs. Belden formerly residing on Elm street has taken 8 very pleasant cottage the Blake cottage on Beach street opposite the Marsden cottages and number of guests from up country will occupy 6 portion of the rooms which are most tastefully equipp- ed.
 Lawyer Geo. A. Tyler and family are again occupying one of the Marsden cottages and MT. Gardner of New York and family has the other.
 Several more new cottages are being erect- ed at different locations on or near the shore, the most notable one being near the turn of Beach street where it overlooks the har- bOr
