FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 1890.
BRIDGEPORT.


lis, who bought the West End livery and
boarding stable ON Colorado avenue,
about five months ago, are meeting with
success. The stables are filled with
horses, IL of the 25 being boarders, while
10 are kept for livery purposes. The
stable has also been improved by the adj
dition of number of carriages, bug
gies and surries, while modern hack,
bought n short time ago, is in frequent
use. Mr. Godfrey, who is a commercial
traveller, spends much of his time on the
road, leaving Mr. Willis in charge.
AS the time for the auction of the |
Nost property draws near, there is in
creased activity at the factory and four |
or five men have been put at work to put |
in first class order the great number of |
machines which, needing repairs, have |
accumulated ut the works. This is done |
under direction of Receiver McMullins
and the machines will be sold at auction |
with the other property, August Is. The |
shop is being put in perfect order.
A. j. Beardsley & Son of the East End |
ship yard find employment for about IS
men in the various departments of their
work and are now busy with two large
three-masted schooners, besides constant
work at repairing. The Fleetfoot, Wheel
err IIawley's boat, has been on the marine
railway, being generally overhauled.
One of c. ii. Viewers New Haven
schOoners was expected in soon to re-
ceive new keel in place of the center
board. On the ways are now a large
three-masted schooner for Bridgeport
parties, $50 foot keel, already spoken of
in the BEE. The planl<ing is being put
on the ribs and the schooner is to be
launched in October, when it will engage
in the general coasting trade. Another
three-master for Il. II. Weaver and 9TH
ers Of New Haven is under way and will
be finished in December. The uneXpect-
cd death of Capt Samuel Berry of New
Haven has caused uncertainty as to a
contract which Messrs Beardsley had
Just signed with n number of New Haven
people, including Capt Berry, for four
masted schooner, but it is likely that the
captains share of one-siXteenth will be
taken by others and the schooner built.
Its keel, 1G5 feet long, will be laid as
soon as the Bridgeport vessel now under
way is finished and she will probably be
completed next May. The cost will be
not far from $40, 900. The schooner will
have 3S feet beam and will be lG feet
deep, double decked, to engage in the
general coastng trade. Material for it
has already been ordered.
