AT SHORT BEACH.

AT SHORT BEACH.
A Quiet, Pleading summer Resort-
New C0ttages-Some of the People
There at Present-Local Notes.
If any one is tired of the noise and con-
fusion of city life and wishes to find some
pretty, quiet and secluded spot where
there are no disturbing noises and no
society duties to make life burden, that
person can find exactly the spot that he
wishes within just a few miles of this city
of New Haven. Two miles from East
Haven on pretty, and for the most part,
shady road, lies the little village of Short
Beach, never disturbed by the harsh shrek
of the locomotive whistle or by any other
of those sounds which drive sleep from
weary eyes. The way to reach this place
from New Haven is to take one of the
stages driven by the genial Mr.. Whittle
sey, and in about an hour of pleasant rid
ing the destination is gained These stages
leave from in front of the Boston grocery
at Z, and 1870 a. M, and 3:45 and 6p. NJ.
also from the corner of State and Chapel
streets at 9:45 a. NJ, and on Saturdaysat 8
p. m. Returning stages leave Short Beach
at 5:45 and 8 q. NJ, and 1:45 and
6:15 p. m. Those who wish to go to
East Haven by train and take
the stage from there will find one at every
train. No more delightful spot than this
could be chosen for small picnic parties,
and those who like a shore dinner and
who do not like the rather mixed society
which is to be met with at Savin Rock will
find that good dinner can be obtained at
the Hotel Bristol or at Bulkley's restau-
rant, opposite the post Office. Bicyclists
will find road as far as East Haven CEN
ter that is as hard and smooth as a board
4oqE while between East Haven and Short
EBeachs the wheeling is almost as good, and
no doubt if the wheelmen knew more of
the place their visits would be much more
frequent, and it would become a favorite
place for club runs. Those desiring to
have private party can get bus
holding dozen people from the stage
driver, and will look back on their visit to
Short Beach with pleasure.
The chapel of this village is union
chapel and was built some years ago by
subscription of various inhabitants and
summer visitors on land donated by Mr..
David Corey. For some reason the place
has had q decided boom this season, many
new cottages being built and old ones
made over; doubtless it is because people
are beginning to find out that there is such
a beautiful resort tucked away on the shore
of the sound. The largest, prettiest and
latest cottage is the one which has just
been completed for Ella Wheeler Wilcox
and stands on Grace rock, at the waters
edge. The cottage is called the "Bunga
low," and is built of white pine, after the
Indian style of architecture. 1t is large,
airy and comfortable, and has fine 1oca-
ton, one Of the best aloug the sound in
fact. Among the people who are
