 The rush to Savin Rock has not yet be- gun In earnest for the season of '94, but with the advent of continued spell of hot weather the old-time crowds at the shore are anticipated. Already hundreds ride to the west shore, largely young men, who take a run to the Rock for an outing of an hour or two and yisit the lunch counters. The rush of families to the shore Is just commencing. Thus far patronage at the shore restaurants and stands has been light owing to the backward season. Several of the old and we'll known restaurants where families resort are in the old hands, i'm cluding Putnam's and Skseles'. MT. Put nam has added new variety of swings at his pavilion, which are proving very popu- lar. The cottages at the shore are rapid ly filling up. The hotels have not yet begun to fill up to any extent. Julius Lempert is again this year lessee of Railroad grove, where the railroad com. pany has added many new buildings and refreshment stands, and the demand is 80 great that if there were fifty more they could all be rented. Mr. Lsmpert has his new merry-go- round, costing $3, 800, in op- eration. It is run by electricity, the power being furnished from the West Haven elec- trio road. There is much disappointment over breaking up of the state baseball league, but qualification exists over the prospect that there will be many interest ing exhibition games. The grounds were
 between the Mayer, Strouse Go. and the Consolidated road clerks team. The for mer won 15 to 3, and the various good
 plays created storms of applause, the audi snce thoroughly enjoying the contest.
 Rev. D. H. Mitchell, who was detained
 for half hour in the grasp of the law
 Sunday before last for alleged over noisy
 and boisterous preaching and expounding,
 which excited the ire of many who run
 places of business in Railroad grove. his address being interpreted ss too utterly full of invectives against the legitimate
 branches of business there conducted, was given full license and liberty to preach yes terday in Railroad grove, which he did at II B. m., holding forth to quite large au- dience, most of whom assembled out of PAOo5CA
 permitted to preach without restraint, and
 held forth in more moderate tones, less
 like the sons of thunder tones of the pre- oeding Sunday, and made many good
 points. Rev. MT. Mitchell has become quite interested in the spiritual welfare of
 the business men of the grove, and has
 formed the acquaintance of several and con
 sented to sit for his picture recently in company with MT. Meininger who keeps resort in the edge of the grove and Mr. Simmons, who is known as the fakir of Railroad Grove, the trio making very
 striking group picture. Rsv. MT. Mitchell
 sat with large opsn Bible upon his knee, but the fakir had no wheel in sight, TOT the other man in the group anything to indi- cate his profession. Copies of the photo graph have excited much interest among the people of the grove.
 Work on the Woodmont electric road is
 going forward rapidly, and the manage. ment confidently expect to have the road in operation by July l, the power for oper- ating 1t being all ready for application.
 Improvement at Bradley's- Point con tinues. The Point is one of the pleasant
 est tpots all along the shore. MT. Edward L Bradley, the proprietor of the Point, is one of the best know and most respected and prominent business men of the West shore 6-~
