Fully 5000 persons were at Savin Rock
yesterday, attracted there by the excep-
tionally fine weather at the shore
All the varied amusements were rum
ming at full blast, including the merry
| go-round, the labyrinth, the shooting
| galleries and the thousands and one
catch penny contr1vances which abound
in Railroad Grove. An unusually en-
| joyable sacred concert was also given
| by an enlarged band under the direc-
3tion of Prof. Landrigan, during the
course Of which solos were rendered by
Fred Guilford on the piccolo, George
H. Kessel on the cornet and ]. Lenahan
on the xylophone.
Yesterday was the last Sunday for
some time that the shore merchants will
| be allowed to carry on business at the,
Rock. The merchants are considerably
worked up over the passage by the
| board of burgesses at recent meeting
of an ordinance requiring that on and
after Sunday, June %, all these places
shall be closed, and remain so until
Monday morning The merchants claim
that this is an injustice to them, and
will appeal to the selectmen of the
town of Orange.
The antics of well known student at
Yale, who had taken a little more liquor
than was good for him, caused con-
siderable merriment at the shore Sat-
urday night. The student, with party
of classmates. had made a number of
visits to the numerous saloons at the
rock, when about 8 O'clock they ran
across an Italian with hand organ
and a monk" After a few minutes
conversation an agreement was entered
into whereby for a cash consideration
and proviso that all the money coli
lected was to be turned over to the
italian, the rfngleader Of the party Of
students secured possession Of the or
gan and monkey for the time being and
at once commenced a tour Of Railroad
Grove A halt was made in front OF
the several saloons and restaurants, at
each Of which considerable money was
collected for the benefit of the Italian,
who, UP to the time the students took
hold of things had not been particular
ly fortunate in securing pennies. Later
the students attempted to take the orr
gan and monkey into the dancing pa
vilion, but this Special officer Clinton
refused to allow them to do The mon
key was unusually bright and well
trained, which caused one of the by
ISLANDERS to remark that the monkey
was apparently much better educated
than the students.

ported as being the best for the last ten
years. AT the several hotels and res
taurants the proprietors are very much
