Trials of New Workers in Getting to
 Coney Island.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Savin Rock on clear cool Sunday after noon presents to the eye of close observ- ing excursionist 8 sight of very singular appearance, which brings back reminis- cences of trips made to New York's resort, Coney Island. The latter, however, is not quite 80 pleasant as the former. It is true, I admit, that Savin Rock has no elephant observatory, nor has it two long iron piers that run half mile out into the water, spend their time and money at; but for all that it has but very few if any mosquitoes, while Coney Island is just swarming with them. Both places have good bathing, but then they would not be seashores without that attraction. For man to go to Savin Rock he has but to take cool open car and in forty minutes he is at the shore choose he can take horse and carriage and drive there in thirty minutes along the most beautiful roads, cool breeze partly increased by the rustling of the leaves in the overhanging boughs and rendered en- chanting by the sweet fragrance of this rustling. This breeze blowing continually on ones face reminds one of early morn ings in springtime. But a trip to Coney Island is very different thing. For an uptown resident of New York to go to Coney Island necessitates his getting up early, dressing the babies and going first by horse car to the bridge. then across that structure and afterwards going by Brooklyn horse car to the railway station and lastly taking passage on rail road train to the island. One of these trips was made by friend of mine, MT. Adams, who lives on East One Hundred and Twentieth street. I was to go, and so I was required to report at his house on East One Hundred and Twentieth street at 7:3O a. m. I got there, and when I arrived Mrs. Adams was just putting Georgies new suit on, while nurse Was dressing baby (who, by the way, made noise enough for a dozen). At last baby was dressed and so was Georgie, and we started. We'll, before we had gone one block mamma said she had forgotten baby's bottle, and to send back and get it caused delay of fifteen minutes. Then it took fifty minutes on the horse cars to get the boat, twenty minutes before the boat starts, and one hour to get to the island by boat. So such trip takes (save all the trouble caused by chang AuS) dDOuI GWO du1 Oue-uhll uOuTS 6dcQ way. I made the trip to Savin Rock yes terday afternoon in thirty-fve minutes, and that with only fair horse; just one fifth of the time it takes to go to Coney Island.
 At Coney Island one does not see the higher class of people, but the poorer class; while at Savin Rock the cottages are simply magnificent, the people better, and es- pecially the younger members of the fairer sex.
 To man who makes both trips for the express purpose of comparison it appears to him that while Savin Rock is connected with comparatively small town like New Haven, yet the great eastern metropolis can boast of nothing but poor little out-of- the-way Coney Island. WAC.
