OUR NrN YORK LETTER.
Ner Io.k, June 10Th, "a.

| \ tfdVelef In THIS part OF our country
need not < very far upon the whir-
ring trains t. become ccnyiced that
the complaints made out west con-
corning the monotony of plains and
deserts and stretches of sagebrnsh
are well founded. After taking
even short trip through the interim
Unable succession Of meadows and
forests here, one is more inclined to
sympathize with the Eastern man
who is obliged to cross the dry and
arid miles that lie between the Miss
issippi and the Sierra Nevada. To
look from the car windows here and
see an endless panorama of beauti-
full scenes such are made immortal
i'll verse and splendid paintings is a
great boon to eyes that are weary of
dry city sights.
Such are the scenes along the shore
line from this city to New Haven,
Connecticut Such are the scenes, in
fact, throughout this entire half of
the country The shore line some
times skirts the harbor, but many of
its greatest lengths are through acres
of farms or forest, according to
whether the land IS cultivated or
wild. Many beaut full streams and
rivers help to complete the views,
but after all it is constant green,
everywhere, which gives such a sense
of GOODNESS and calm to see the
country.
The trip to New Haven consumes
about two hours, Every mile has
many things Of interest to be seen
aside from the inuumerable villages
through which the cars pass, Many
of the trains make only one stop on
the way to the old Yale city, and
that stop is at Bridgeport, the busy
town. Bridgepot,
stamps its individuality lpoa the
mind even when seen only from the .
car windows. Its great machine {
shops, foundries and mills are so +;
that no one could 90 G
through there without endeavoring, y
in some way, to know what place '
It Is Z
New Haven is particularly beauti- r
;ul at this part of the year, but is on Y
he verge of being deserted. The e
ale commencement exercises will +
De concluded III a few weeks and r
Students and professors alike will get G
way as fast AS possible. No one
las gone yet for even if duties did f
lot detain boys the proximity of the ]
,reat annual Yale Harvard boat race
would.
The harbor of New Haven offers
nearby retreat to the people who c.
re weary of town, and it is amply D
after the first of July. That t,
queer groups of little rock-ribbed is
called the Thimble Is il
ands is particularly besieged and D
yer populated in Summer. The
Stands are deservedly popular for W
ot only are they swept by cooling IL
freezes almost constantly, but also sc
hey are almost entirely delivered b,
rom that pest the hard -shelled, N
,ng-billed mosquito. This interest n
lg vampire does not flourish upon
,lt water and has not yet found out
nat he could cross the channel to &c
ictims out on the Islands. ~
Many of the islands are owned as al
rivats property by single families. is
ONE of the larger ones are very Q
'ickly inhabited, being owned by
nall colonies Of people. All Of ey
lem are overgrown with trees, XII
ASS, shrubs, brush ETC., wherever
le granite of which they are COM
,sed has disintegrated the soil.
ome of them seem to be all woods La
ID grass while others have long or
retches Of boulders jutting from the sh
ayes. None of them is of any very Dy
size, the largest being al,
,rhaps two miles in circumference. .
II of the islands afford good fishing A
,ounds and the waters about them
q filled with oysters and clans.
The harbor about Thimble island
generally much more calm than
lie waters of the Atlantic in other
Tvs and inlets. AT times it IS as
