 The players who have been signed for the New Haven team will be here this week and will report this morning for practice on the grounds at Savin Rock. The men will have daily practice on the field and be thor oughly coached in the plays. Nearly all of those who will play here on the New Hs- vsn team are young players. and few of them have ever gained any note. The Savin Rock Land and Improvement company has just purchased the property on the sound situated below the rock and known as the Tyler farm. This is to be the site for the Connecticut worlds fair building. George II. Grant has broken ground for the site.
 The new electric road from Savin Rock to Aerwin's Point is to run along by the new purchase and the little summer colony

The road is nearly ready for the rails up to Oyster river and work will soon begin in driving bling on the west side of the river. For . distance of about 2, ,500 feet the roadbed will consist of an elevation of about four and ons-half' feet above the meadows on piles. The piling has been built very solid and this part of the road will be a good as any section. A large amount of timber will bs required in this construction. The land syndicate is . separate organi- zation from the railroad, although . mum bsf of the stockholders are in both enter pEises. The two will go hand in hand.
