No Tears Shed Over Any Epidemic of Mal
 de 1Ier.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: It was a great surprise to most of the party who went with the Y. M. R. club on their excursion to Sag Harbor, Friday, to hear of the many cases of sea sickness, as reported in two of the city papers. It is suspected that the writers were suffering from ''Mal de Mer'' themselves, for if there were any others sick on the boat they kept out of sight. No pleasanter excursion has gone from New Haven than that of last Friday. The music itself was worth the price of a ticket and the first real shower that they ran into was after arriving home.
