tages at Merwin's Point and Vicinity
 Other Woodmont Notes.
 That well known summer resort, Woodmont, has lost none of it's popu- larity, and the recent hot weather has had the effect of increasing the number of cottagers quite perceptibly. Several weeks ago quite a number of the cot tages were not occupied or even rent ed, but now all but one or two are rented and for several days past there have been many inquiries made con- cerning the vacant cottages. The per- centage of New Haveners who have gone to that shore thus far this season is @ little less than in former years, while the number of people from Hart ford, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Ansonia, Milford, Derby, New York city, and other outside cities and towns is much larger than formerly. The people from either Hartford or Bridgeport outnum- Der those from New Haven.
 There have not been made changes in the cottages during the past winterand only two new cottages have been built One of them was built by Colonel Will liam B. Wooster Of Ansonia It Is To- cated on Beach street and is commo- dious structure of about twelve rooms. Although Colonel Wooster and family are occupying it the carpenters and painters will not complete their work on it before July 15. When finished the new cottage will be one of the incest and most modernly equipped and fitted at the shore.
 The other cottage was built and is occupied by Mrs, C. P Merwin and | family of New Britain, formerly of New Haven. This cottage is also on Beach street, near what is familiarly known as "Merwin's Point" Zalmon Goodsell of Bridgeport has remodeled and refitted his Beach street residence. Nearly all the cottages have been re- painted during the winter and the whole place presents a very inviting and pleasant appearance.
 1 Each one of the hotels reports a good business. the number of transients being somewhat larger than usual, while the number of regular boarders has not increased to any great extent. l Among the New Haveners who are oc- cupying cottages at Woodmont are A.
