The Glorious FOurth-An Immense
Rush OF People-Few Inebriates-
The Crowd Large But Orderly
Drunks In the Evening-No New
Stables for the West Haven Road
Tho Car Barn to be Enlarged for
she Electric Cars.
The clear weather brought thousands of
visitors to the shore yesterday. Some esti-
mate the throng there at 10000. Every
car from the city from 10 o'clock in the
morning to 8 o'clock in the evening was
loaded and the teams going down could be
counted by hundreds. In fact it seemed
as though nearly every team that could be
| got for love or money was at the shore
some time or other during the day. There
was very little celebration in the shape of
fireworks during the day and the crowd
was very quiet. The Railroad grove was
alive with fakirs who had all sorts of
catch penny affairs rugged up.
The people who visited the shore were
agreeably surprised at the scarcity of
drunken people visible in the streets there
abouts. The intoxicating fluids were un-
doubleday cold in many places, but 1t did
|
it has in previous years. In other years the
number of drunken people has equalled
and sometimes outnumbered the sober
people.
The tide was not right for bathing, high
water being about 7:30. The holiday
bathers generally want the tide high about
the middle of the day and very few battle
after sunset.
In the evening there was very credit
