AT SAvIN ROCK.

Lively Times at the ROck-To Ex- : tend the Oriental Park Pier-AmOng
 the Cottagers-Fine Bathing Season Arrivals, etc.
 Savin Rock is one of the Gyeliest of shore resorts at present and the various business enterprises have little to com plain of. The daily and nightly attrac- tions are the means of assembling large numbers, who have both the opportunity to witness theatrical performance and to enjoy the pleasures of the seashore. It is only too unfortunate and singular that the present advantages were not before offered to the public Extra cars are now run late in the evening for the accommodation of those attending.
 The Oriental Park association hold an other meeting Monday evening. The pur- pose of the assembly is to further discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the park. It is proposed to gain the consent of the park committee to extend the Beach street pier. The reasons offered for so do- ing are that the present one offers insuffi- cient accommodations for large gatherings and that an extension would enable large craft to land there. At present many cit izens are deprived the pleasures of a boat because of the want of place to keep it.
 Among the latest fads that have appear ed at the shore, that, of attempted mind reading, has become the most popular among the cottagers. At each evening social gathering some new prodigy lays claim to the peculiar art. MT. A. B. Treat and family of New Haven moved to the shore this week and are now added to ha ct 0f nrianfaI m of cottager Charles E. Brown are MT. and Mrs. Jones and daughter of Burlington, Vermont
 Last Saturday the residents of East avenue with their friends from the city participated in sailing excursion Among the happy party were Messrs. Cowell, Perkins and Brown with their re- spective families. Mr. Harry Newinger of Fair Haven has removed his family to the Beard cottage. They will remain during August.
 Miss Edna Perry of Cincinnati is a guest of Beach street friends.
 The Beard residence, so named after the builder, was recently purchased by three gentlemen residing at the rock, who own | several other pieces of property there. l The Beard home is rented every summer and the proceeds are divided among its l owners. l There is much comment among the cot | tagers upon the apathy shown by the I'm provement association this season. Not one meeting has been called to enable. mat 1 ters of immediate interest to be discussed and acted upon. If the members propose to continue commendable movement il | the establishment of the organization it i. high time that steps be taken, and at leas one meeting held before the summerl end.
 Amateur photography has been craze | at all resorts this summer and the young people at the rock have not been behind hand in affording themselves the pleasure of dark room art. MT. Christie of Ney Haven visited the shore several times thi week and succeeded in obtaining some ad mirable views. There is plenty of oppor tunity for the amateur to exercise his skill and the "kodak" is about as familiar t. the observer as the bathing suit. Severa young lady bathers at the West Shore hay attempted to start the fashion of wearin corsets to adorn their figures in the bathing costume. The new idea has hardly me
 with popular favor.
 Everyone desires to make New Haven
 little city by the sea" as much like Asbur
 Park and Long Branch as possible, but a
 for such means of exhibiting feminin
 beauty the residents have really no use
 MT. Max Adler and family have returne
 to their shore home after an agreeable sta
 at Saratoga.
 This season is said to have been the bes
 for bathing pavilions of any during tn
 past eight or ten. Some of the hotels wi
 find their accommodations altogether made
 quate if the demand of the present year
 to be continuous.
