A very tasteful illustrated manual of the summer resorts along the line ot the road has just been issued by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company. It contains a list of hotels and boarding houses. rates for communication tickets, excursion rates. and other information. The man. ual well says:
 "The full list of shore and inland summer resorts, lying within the terri tory ministered to by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad and it's dependencies, is of the longest, and makes g. showing far in excess of ny that can be presented by other railroad systems of the country. This transpor- tation agency serves directly and com pletely the entire coast, from New York city away round to Boston, not simply by following with its lines the general direction of the shores, but conforming to their windings and turnings in every part; the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad being made up of Q network Of railroad establishments that occupies the entire southern sections of New England, so that these are com pletely 'gridironed,' so to speak. by their presence, no part being left out of the service account, or any hooks or corners left without this form of com munication with the outside world. g
