| pie generally are ignorant as to the way in
which these attractions are supported
| financially. A subscription paper circu-
lated among the shore people in business
| there is the means of realizing sum suf-
| ficient to cover the expenses. The West
Haven railroad company are liberal sub
scribers.

gratifying success, and the past week has
been one of the liveiest of the season. The
fact is, such attraction is what the people
have right to expect, and only a little
patience and industry is required to mature
scheme that is sure to prove effective IN
raising financial interests at the rock to
higher value.
