 Although September is the finest month n the calendar at the shore, by the last of August the summer pilgrims have visibly thinned out and are setting their faces homeward Much of this sudden exodus is made necessary by the people returning to place their children in the schools. Morris Cove has been touched by the same influences that have driven the people from Savin Rock, and the attractive shores and pleasure grounds of the cove are ai- ready showing the aspect of desertlon Many cottagers remain, however, some of them staying in their summer seaside homes through the present month. It has been an excellent season at the Cove and there is prospect of series natural situation and beauties of. this place should assure it great popularity every summer. A horse railroad is demand that will be met some day, and this added means of communication would ensure big tide of patronage to delightful Morris Cove and the further attraction besides on the east shore. The F. H. &. w. Fl. R. R. Co. is the best fitted to furnish the people with this much needed link of communities ton, and will undoubtedly be ready to build and equip the line ere many years. Such line might not pay at first, but business would soon increase and ensure success for the investment With a street railroad to Morris Cove, that section would surely receive an impetus. Another demand for such road comes with the public parks that soon will be improved and ready for the public. The tracts have been bought by the park commission, are of delightful situation and will be visited by thousands when the railroad is built.
 Rev. Dr. H. c. Hovey for so many years pastor of the Second church, has returned to his home in Bridgeport after his. vaca- tion in the west. He spent yesterday with his son E. Otis Hovey of Waterbury, who will sail for Europe in few days and re- main in Germany considerable time pur- suing his geological studies. Dr. Hovey during his absence attended the annual session of the American association for the advancement of science at Indianapolis. His lecture in that city on "Caverns" was attended by an audience of two thousand people, and several hundred who turned out to hear him could not obtain admis- sion to the hall on account of it's crowded condition. He also headed g party of scientists who visited the Mammoth cave in Kentucky. At New Albany the party were met by the mayor and other members of the city government who entertained them with a banquet and drive about the place. The doctor also visited the region of the natural gas wells in Indiana AL though he was very busy during the trip, preaching every Sunday in addition to lec- turing and sightseeing he derived much physical benefit from the jaunt. He says that while he had royal good time and greatly admires the west and the people of that section, he rather prefers New Eng land as place of residence. He brought back with. him many natural curiosities, and interesting photographic views Twelve thousand copies of Dr. Hovey's guide book have been sold, and one object in view in this trip was to arrange for the early publication of new and enlarged edition with fine pictoral embellishments.
 While the oyster shops are not as yet in full tide of business, it is estimated that the amount of stock dredged in Q day is some 2, 500 bushels. Most of the stock caught at present is brought up in sharp- ies, but dredging will not begin in real earnest for @ couple of weeks.
