 the Younger Residents.
 The summer days pass uneventfully at Morris Cove. The quiet round of pleasures by few formal social affairs and little or no intrusion of the interests of the outside world. The summer population at the Cove remains as great as ever. notwith- standing the waning of the season, and the shore will not wear deserted appearance for more than month from the present date: Enjoyment of the sea air and bath ing in the surf occupy the greater portion of the day, while the twilight of the length ening evenings is given up to numerous social gatherings on the piazzas of the larger cottages. is 8 pleasant life for those who can spend the whole heated term at the shore, and the nearness of the resort enables business men compelled to be in this city to return and go away again every morning ana evening.
 A COURIER representative took a ramble along the east shore recently and inciden- | tally paid visit to the club house of the Pequot association and the adjoining cot l tages. Every house is unusually full of guests, and it is difficult to find acommo- | dations anywhere except at the hotel. The hosts at many of the larger cottages enter tain profusely, and the guests change from week to week as at a country house. The home of MT. and Mrs. Mallory of New York city is always crowded with visitors, most of whom are people from out of town. MT. Mallory is the son of the well known owner of the Madison Square Gar den. The young Mallorys are a recently married couple for whom this is the sec- | ond season at the Cove. Their cottage is a | roomy structure, formerly known as the Gregory house. Of late they have kept many boardars in addition to the friends | they entertain.
 The Ives cottage is another residence,
 which always has an overflow of guests. At the present MT. Jewell of New Haven
 is occupying the place with a party of friends from Collinsville.
 MT. John o. Bradley of this city, 8
 twenty years' resident at the Cove, keeps
 open house and with his wife and family l of sons and daughters is a pleasant host to all who are fortunate enough to be his
 guests.
 MT. J. S. Ogilvie, the well-known New
 York publisher, is at the Atwater cottage I with his family and many visitors from
 New York. Miss Nellie Olgilvie, one ot
 the prominent young ladies in Morris Cove
 society, was given a birthday party this
 week in honor of her eighteenth anniver
 sary.
 The cottages just mentioned, togethe,
 with many others, are situated in "Cres
 cent park" which lies just south of thu
 Pequot club house. Unlike many othe
 summer resorts where the residents live
 considerable distance from the shore, thu
 cottages at Morris Cove are built at tn
 waters edge, and cool, shaded piazzas ju ) l out into the sea.
 At the east of the Crescent park cot
 tages is natural grove of elm trees, plant ) ed twenty years since, which hides the res , idences from the road and serves as } pleasant playground for the children an, , young people of the vicinity. On the fur ther side of the highway are the Morri Cove base ball grounds, laid out a yea ) ago. Interest in base ball seems to hay died down of late. In it's place tennis ha
 assumed great popularity. Not few o
