A GROWING CITY.

New Havenss Growth In All Direc. t1ons-The Population Fast Increas- l in&-The Proposed Extension of the Fair Haven Horse Railroad Line Out to the Yale F1eld-New Haven CTS and the Yale Field Section Notable Improvements.
 The city is improving in all directions, and the rapid building up of the outlying portions is matter of surprise to even the old inhabitants, while to now ones it is equally so. Superintendent Curtis of the public schools, who has seen cities spring up as if by magic in the west, speaks of the rapid growth of New Haven as remind ing him of the quick progress made in western cities. The Oyster Point, Howard avenue and East Rock portions of the city are all spreading out rapidly by the in- crease of new houses, many of them quite artistic and handsome. The notable i'm provements by the Messrs. Trowbridge in Howard avenue, Portsea and Minor streets and Columbus avenue are attracting much attention from the public. The western portion of the city is also growing and the outlying section beyond the Derby bridge, near and at the Yale field is destined to be ere long well built up and and Westville Horse Railroad company proposet if permission is granted, to ex- tend the tracks out to the Yale field, dis tance of half or three quarters of 8 mile. This will be great improvement and of great benefit toward building up this fine and we'll adapted spot for business and residences. The company has the iron and ties all bought, and are ready to go ahead with the work. Tho proposition meets with great popular favor, and if the common council gives the requisite permission this beautiful outlying section of New Hs- ven will speedily be brought into immedi- | ate horse car connection with the city, center. A hearing takes place on the sub | ject tomorrow evening, and if permission | is granted without the restriction of or dering Belgian block paving of the track l and it's borders, as it probably will be, there being no necessity whatever for such l expensive work, the company will go for
 ward and lay it's rails at once. The general opinion is strongly in favor oi | having the improvement and against the | proposed restriction of Belgian pavement | which is well enough for the populout parts of the city, but not at all required l out in the suburbs. If the city insists on Belgian paving the work will be aban 1 doned, as the road would be only an ex pense to the railroad company for years tt come, and bring no profit. This section of the city has fine approach througf Chapel and West Chapel streets and ii
 therefore very desirable, and there ar
 hundreds of our people who would b.
 glad of the cars in order to get to the Yal
 ball and other athletic games. The i'm
 provements at the Yale field already ar
 very fine and most creditable to Yale an,
 to the city. The new club house build
 ing recently erected on the Yale field
 only beginning of the improvements t
 be made at Yale field.
 Opposite the Yale field our enterprisin
 townsman, E. M. Clark, has cut fine street
 and is putting land into the market at ez
 ceedingly low rates and nominal prices
 Several of our citizens have just purchase
 lots upon his fine tract and are to bull
 handsome houses upon the lots. Anon
 them are Messrs Perry and Reynolds, wh
 intend to build right away on Derby avt
 nue. Other improvements are conten
 plated, and ere long quite settlement wi
 doubtless arise in this vicinity. This wi doubtless be one of the most beautif1
 suburbs of the city, and at no distant da
 at the rate New Haven is now advancing
 New Haven has one great advantage fc
 rapid growth in it's being such
 manufacturing center, with amp
 railroad and seaboard fscilitie , For instance, take the new Electric Ligt and Fixtures company which has taken tt
 former Judson packing house, and will b.
 gin operations there right away with 1(
 hands to start with. Quite large pc
 centage of these employees will be nev
 corners to New Haven, and with their fan flies will add 8 handsome figure to tt
 population. A big factory like the . Candee Rubber company is a gold mir
 for city in assisting and maintaining i growth; or take the Sargent shop or Vii . | chester's for auunlly strong illustrations
