A Number of New Haven Families En- toying the Pleasures of This Popular Resort.
 A more delightful place along the East shore than Short Beach would be hard to find It is indeed an ideal place for all that is necessary for success ful summers outing. Long stretches of sandy beach as clean as new pins, high cliffs, rocky caverns, shady hooks and plenty of healthful sea breeze.
 There are many points of land well covered with fine large trees and long grass, where an afternoon can be spent in quiet repose or where a novel can be read with the greatest comfort The people who reside there during the summer avail themselves of all these opportunities and think that their lot Is much more desirous than that of the many thousands who are confined within the narrow limits of the heated city.
 The abundance of places for pleas ant bath is one of the attractive feat ures of the beach. Bathing and boat ing parties are all the rage and have succeeded the little social hops usually given at summer resorts by the cot tagers Almost every cottage along the beach is occupied Short Beach in reality is comprised of North Beach, Center Beach and Short Beach.
 There are in all upward of two hun- dred cottages and many of them are very handsomely finished and commo- dious, being modernly equipped in every respect. There are also several so-called restaurants where ice cream, lemonade and candy are served a gro cery, postoffice, meat store, bowling and dance hall. The bowling alley draws it's share of patronage.
 Since the completion of the trolley line to Cosy Beach and Mansfield's S grove the facilities for reaching Short Beach easily have been greatly in- creased The cars run at convenient intervals and the railroad company has just erected a neat little frame structure, to be used as a waiting room, at a point where the railroad leaves the road to Short Beach and branches off to Cosy Beach.
 A stage runs between this waiting station and the three parts of Short Beach so as to accommodate all. There have been very few changes in the cottages since last season and they are in the main just the same, with the possible exception of a coat of paint Only one new cottage has been erected, and that by James Tyler of Milldale. It is double cottage and is at North Beach.
 The Bungalow" Ella Wheeler Will cox's famous cottage, occupies one of the prominent points along the shore, / being located on very high cliff from which commanding view of the har- bor can be secured. There are not a great many New Haveners at this de- lightful place and most of the cottagers are from New Britain, Hartford, Mid dletown, Milford, Torrington, Winsted and Bridgeport.
