NEW HATEN AS 4 SUMMER RESORT.

 New Haven's can't get away summer club remains in strong force. An un- usually large multitude of our people | are away by brook and seaside aed mountain. The college campus and its halls are deserted and echoless save for the occasional noise Of drays and ham mers and reverberations from the beau- tiful million-dollar Vanderbilt hall, the muniiicent gift to Yale of one of the nations multi-millionaires who loves to do good with his money and is identi- fled with and has given largely to num- berless noble charitable institutions. The streets are almost devoid of both students, professors and clergymen. They are away for health and recrea- tion. The postoffice vestibules are marked by their annual midsummer quietude. A host of those who daily resort there at mail time most of the year are away. New Haven to-day is represented in nearly every country in Europe and in many eastern lands by summer tourists. In nearly every state in the Union and in many parts of Can ada are other New Haven tourists. There are some also who are essaying to get to Greenlands coast, and oth- CTS are at the North Cape and in the land of the midnight sun.
 But there are others. These con- prise the great and numerous propor- tion of our people who spend the sum- mer in New Haven. In these are not included that quite numerous force who have an annual outing of more or less duration in cottages by the sea at neighboring shore resorts, or who are | finding refreshment and renewal of vi- tai forces on old Litchfield hills, at Nor folk or in other Connecticut regions famous for salubrious air. There is vast proportion of the citys inhabitants whose summer outings consist or more or less frequent journeys to the suburbs or neighboring resorts by means of the street cars or the excursion steamers. And this is remindful that for this large class New Haven was never so fortunately equipped as now. In every direction the can't get away masses find bands of iron leading out to the suburbs and chariots, fiery at night, on which to | reach the green fields of the country or where they can behold the dash and glint of the sea waves. And New Ha- veners are not slow to appreciate and take advantage of these opportunities right at their doors, as look at the heavily laden cars en route to or re- turning from these outing localities testifies. New Haven has, then, some important advantages as a place in | which to endure summer heat and more this year than it has before possessed. Then New Haven is one of the best shaded cities in the United States. It is needless to say it is famous for its beautiful umbrageous and ancient elms, reposeful and imposing. New Haven has also its beautiful bay-beautiful when the tide is highland adjacent are the broad waters of Long Island sound, with all the lesson that the sea teaches of power, rest and sublimity. There are now also suburban parks-parks here and parks there-their creation a happy thought and inspiration of men of pub- lie spirit and philanthropy. Coming generations will appreciate them still more. Then there are the beetling cliffs of the Red Mounts" East and West rock, with their suggestion of an- tiquity and grandeur, cliffs thousand times older than the pyramids of old Egypt. There is vast deal in New Haven's immediate suburbs for the lov- CT of nature to enjoy. There is some solace for the stay-at-homes-for those at least who have no wolf at their doors.
