DOWN THE EAST SHORE.

! From the New Electric Road-Im- provements All the Go-New Streets Opened-The Proposed New Road to Lake Salto Fishing The Steamer Cygnet Greatly Im- proved.
 The annex people are very much delight ed with the prospect of the new electric l road that is to be run down the east shore. | pushing forward the grading of Woodward avenue, so that there may be no hindrance to the laying of the rails, for which ths company is about ready.
 A great impetus has been given to the sale of real estate down this way since it became known that an electric road was to be built, and many lots have been sold. The possibilities of the east shore for summer resort are immense, and the growth of the Savin Rock shore in cottages and hotels may be paralleled in the next | twenty years. And not only are dwelling houses going up at the Four Corners, but ! the new M. E. church which is being erect | ed will be great addition to this section; l and all along the road there is an appear ance of an awakening to greater prosper | ity. During the past five years many | houses have been erected in the annex near and this will be an additional impetus to l it's growth.
 At Morris Cove many ofithe cottages are being improved and, as has already been mentioned in the papers, large additions 1 are being made to their house by the Pe- quot club. A large number of lots have also been sold here to people who expect | L. r. | the Clark estate below the Forbes house two new streets have been opened, one running parallel to the water, named Cove street, and another crossing it at right an gles, named Morris street after MT. Morris, one of the oldest residents of the Cove and after whose ancestors the Cove was called Morris Cove. These streets have been opened at MT. Clark's expense and several lots have been already sold on them. One was sold this week and quite an interest is excited, as MT. Clark. despite the higher ment of the electric road, holds to the old prices, thereby giving buyers before July the chance to take all the benefits of the rise in value which must ensue. It is ru- mored that large shore hotel will be soon erected here.
 At Lake Saltonstail, East Haven, people are quite interested in the prospect that in the near future the electric road may be extended to their neighborhood and to the lake. That section of the town has fol some time laid rather dormant and the 5 town will sbe greatly benefited when the road is assured. As all New Havenerf know, Lake Saltonstall is one of the most beautiful sheets of water in the state and all remember with pleasure the four mile sail on the barges behind the lively littl, Cygnet. This little boat has now beer
 greatly altered, so that it can now com
 fortably carry seventy people.
 The fishing here is now in it's prime
 The waters abound in perch, pickerel ant bass. One party this week caught fou bass aggregatinR 14s pounds. Another
 caught several bass, one of them weighing Al pounds The fishing skiffs around thu lake are at this season of the year in grea
 demand
 The pavilion used in summer for sta
 tion on the Shore Line road at the lake ha
 been enlarged, in anticipation of the in
 creased excursion business on the lake tn
 coming season. Captain George Town
 all complete at the lake for the summe
 business. Some important improvement
 have been made at the glen, where the ex '. cursion steamer lands.
 In 8 word, the advent of the e1ectri d road will usher in season of unparallele
 prosperity and activity for the east shore
 In contrast with the summer quiet c
 former years, the shore will be alive wit
 merry picnickers and cottagers, while th e buzz and whirr of the cars with mo pushe
 or no pullee" will startle the solitude (
 old Fort Hale and vicinity and bring hur
 dreds to the beautiful Fort Hale park.
