Crowds at the Rock Sundays-News

Arrivals and Departures, Etc.
The season of 1892 at Savin Rock differs
from any of its predecessors in one respect
in the way in which Sunday is
observed. This year is the first one in the |
history of the shore that the cars were run |
on regular time and also that the majority
of the amusement enterprises were allowed
to continue. As result the seventh day
of the week is by far the most important
one. While in previous times only few
visitors from the city who were fortunate
enough to own their private conveyances
enjoyed the refreshing breezes of the Sea-
shore, now thousands of people in every
station of life flock to the water side on
the Sabbath to escape the severity of the
summer sun. The ride on the electric cars
is delightful one, and hardly Sunday
has passed but that over four thousand
have been carried over the road.
The West Haven democrats have organ
