 Lake Saltonstall is being svailed of for an | additional purpose to that of supplying our city with supply of excellent water. The movement inauguratsd this season, before spoken of in tho CouRrR, may, after seasons of development, result in this beautiful lake becoming great picnic resort. Tho steamer Cygnet makes morning and afternoon trips | up and down the lake. During the past winter the little weasel was Aoatsd around | from Brsnford as far up the East Haven | river ss she could go. She was then ! cradle of heavy timbers and when there was ! . covering of snow on the ground the burden | of twenty tons was drawn by sixteen horses to the lake. This spring the boat was | launched and is now plying up and down | this beautiful sheet of water under the de l rection of Captain G. Herbert Baldwin of BrAnforc. Tho Cygnet is new boat and will carry seventy passengers. Captain George Townsend, who is interested in the enterprise, ,has recently had some views taken of the varied and pretty scenery on the lake and margin. Those who for the first time visit Saltonstall will be surprised to know 1t abounds in such bewitchin9 bits of scenery. One of the first excursions of tho season on the lake by means of the steamer was that given by Charles Wilson, the insurance agent, to the master workers of Humphrey Street Congregational church. Hr. Wilson took the party to the lake and finding on arrival there that there was steamer run ming, ct once chartered 1t, and tho whole v.L kL.I Isv~a ak tvattn and had their pionio dinner at the new Grove pavilion. They all had nice time and will not soon forget MT. Wilson's kindness and the days enjoyment.
 Tho proposed increase of tho plant of the Fair Haven and Westville horse railroad in this part of the oity has been necessitated by an increase in traffic that has been steadily accelsratiug since the line wss double tracked. Probably at no point has the increase been as rapid ns between Fair Haven and the corner of State and Chapel. The management had hoped that when an increase in facilities was made they would be able to equip the line with electric power, but this question of and worked out SO that 1t can be utilized practically, and horse power will be | required for some time to come. And yet | President Ives ia confident that the cars will \ yet run by tho unseen force that is working such revolution in the necessities of life. | But tne demand TOT petteI xecAAsloS ho Ouce

The big stables that now accommo- date 260 horses are to be added to in the rear l by building 160 by 80 feet with stabling for for forty horses.
