To-day, with fair weather, the season at
'avin Rock will be formally opened. The |
Fourth Of July is invariably the inaugural |
# the business and picnic season and has |
Ilways been one of the two or three days
Turing the summer when visitors at the
rock may be scored by the thousands.
The West Haven Horse Railroad company
has for many years past carried the
masses of people from all over the state
and with hardly an accident and
none resulting from mismanage-
ment. 1t was hoped that the electric sys-
tenn would be in operation by to-day, July
4, but in spite of every effort the work was
unavoidably delayed. It is perhaps as
we'll that the trial of the new system is not
made on day when the least imperfec-
ton or hitch SO likely to occur in the trial
of new plan would be sure to cause the
most trouble. It cannot be otherwise than
that the introduction of the electric road
will be followed by more or less trouble,
dissatisfaction and comment. That must
be expected of every new enterprise and
there is no reason why this should be an
exception.
Many sleeping cottagers left their downy
couches Saturday night to witness the big
fire in West Haven. The spectacle as pre-
scented from the beach was a gorgeous
sight and appeared like a mighty bonfire,
as the ascending flame illuminated the sky
and country for great distance. The
waves Saturday evening mingling their
roar with the din of fire bells soon awoke
the many residents. Some, however,
knew nothing of the fire until the next
day.
Several banjo clubs will soon be Or
ganized at Savin Rock and Merwin 'sPoint.

evenings were made pleasant to many who

guitar. Among the young ladies at the
rock especially is the accomplishment Gnd-
ing favor.
