 As a young man, son of John Smith, of Hydeville, was driving home from Wales last Saturday evening, he was run into by a pair of boisterous and spirit uously exhilerated young men, who were driving in the same direction. He had got as far out of the road as possible, but the buggies collided, throwing out all four occupants. Young Smith was the only one injured. Dr. Newton, who was called, found his left arm. fractured near the el- bow joint. The Smith family formerly lived in this village.

 At Mashapaug.
 The popularity of Mashapaug as a summer resort meets all expectations and surpasses most of them. While scores of Stafford people are visitors at Mayland Park nearly every week, naturally the greater number of transient guests, cot tagers and boarders are from the large village of SouthbFidge, only 2 miles away. Among those recently registered are MT. and Mrs. Geo. w. We'll, Charles and Alva Hyde, John M. and A. M. Cheney, Jerome Houghton, Henry Morse, O. E. Wilson, chief of the Southbridge fire department, all with their families, and all from South bridge. On one day last week 28 persons were registered as guests at the hotel, Woodmere Lodge, from Southbridge, and every day saw large registry from that place, the cottages being also occupied by Southbridge people. This week w. P. Bidwell aud family are at their cot tage just vacated by his partner, W. H. Webster, family, and guests, among the latter being Miss Emily Thrall. Among those at Woodmere Lodge are A. D.. Chandler and H. w. Mabie of New York the latter being an editor of the Christian Union. The cottages are this week in occupancy of the following party: MT. and Mrs. c. A. Brown of Palmer, Mrs. G. H. Baker, Miss Edith Baker, Miss Clara Baker, Mir. and Mrs. .Squier, Miss Mary Newton, Frank Newton, Mir. and Mrs. James Mclaughlin, Miss Sarah Tuthill, all of Stafford Springs. Recent visitors from Stafford have also been Senator Pinney and family and Mrs. Ellen Weston. The drawing down of the lake detracts some- what from it's beauty, but pleases those who desire to catch fish. The natural beauties of the park have during the sum- mer been further supplemented by inn provements, increasing it's claims to be considered one of the most delightful in- land resorts in Connecticut. More stable and more cottage room is required, and an enlargement of the barn is to be con- menced very soon. Some of the best made cedar row boats have been added to the navy, and the water front with the beautiful craft gliding about we'll supple ment the charms of the cottage city on the bluff overlooking all, The grove Is nearly always swept by breezes, and there are few or no flies on Mayland Park. Ditto of mosquitoes and heat.
 At the opposite end of the lake Camp Smith is also drawing many visitors, each season an increasing number. The de- velopment of Mayland Park is recog- nized advantage to Camp Smith, the so- cial features of the place being much en- hanced by the existence of two improved shore resorts within easy rowing distance. Any addition to the drawing qualities or beauties of one resort cannot but benefit the other. Each place has it's peculiar features of attractiveness. At Camp Smith during the past week among visit. ors other than those there for the day have been John A. Foster, w. A. Sibley, Dr. J. E. Middleton, and Supt, Myers oi the River Mill, each with their families. On Sunday the full capacity of the dining pavilion was tested by the large attend. ance, and each days registry of visitors is very large. On Tuesday Corbin Post, G. A. R., and friends enjoyed picnic there It is in the air that another season will see considerable building at both shore resorts on Mashapaug. There arc certainly not as much cottage room al Mayland Park as is demanded.
