 Earl Daniels and family and Richard Finch left for North Lyme yesterday. They will be joined next Friday by E. w. Easter, master mechanic at the horse rail road shops, and family, John H. Linsley and family, Eugene Petit and Mir and Mrs. Arthur Brown. The party has two houses on leased lands in the widest part of North Lyme. It is situated near Norwich Lake and the place is known as Norwich lodge There is fine fishing in the lake and in the woods are raccoons, bears, rab- bits and squirrels and game birds. The party always have fine hunting and fishing and jolly outing. Work on the oyster dredge to owners is well advanced. Including the two boats already launched, six steamers have been improved and enlarged by cutting the hulls in two and lengthening. Captain Luzerne Ludington says his boat, the H. A. Stevens, the first to be improved, works well. At New London the Oyster Point steamer, Joshua Bedell, has been rebuilt and is launched. At Graves yard work | on the Fair Haven steamers, Mansfield and l Brown, is we'll advanced, and the Mikado | is being enlarged at the dry dock of the Empire Transportation company. At Wright's marine railway the Spark is also being enlarged. The rebuilding of pix steamers in one season represents 6 | considerable of boom in the improvement of the oyster fleet. Larger boats are now required for the business than formerly. The sale of oyster seed forms big business now, and one of the | enlarged boats could take load of seed and carry it to the oyster ports around New York and New Jersey. Most of this transaction has been done by sailing yes. sells coming here, although the oystermen 1 to the westward have been able to deliver l their sales to buyers, and the equipment of larger vessels will greatly aid the Fail Haven dealers.

CT to make hourly trips between Belle dock and Morris Cove is carried out, il will bring quite boom for the east shore Such boat would do until the projected electric road is in operation.
