COSBY BEACH IMPROV EMENTS
PROTECTED NEW PATILLION AND
 RESI.4 UR1NT.

| A Coming Popular Shore Rcsort-To be First Class tn Every Respect-Features
 ofthc Proposed Plans.
 Although not a little has been said
 about Cosey Beach in the last year, the electric railroad having been extended |, to that point last season, comparatively few of our citizens are aware of it's
 beauty and natural attractions as sea- side resort. Situated comparatively
 short distance from Lighthouse Point,
 the railroad ride from the city thither
 being delightful one through the quiet
 old town of East Haven and thence
 across country amid pleasing rural sur
 roundings, it borders upon fine beach
 directly on Long Island sound, while
 just beyond, only minutes walk, you
 come to the famous Den Mansfield
 Grove and Rocky Point, with all their
 charm of varied scenery and all the nu-
 merous indentations of the shore bor-
 dered by rocky bluffs and wooded
 glens.
 The cars of the Fair Haven and West
 vile company take the visitor direct to
 Cosey Beach, and the terminus of this
 end of the line is at the bridge over the
 picturesque East Haven river. just across which lies the entrance of Mans
 field Grove The beautiful crescent
 shaped beach at Cosey Beach affords
 fine place for all who enjoy safe spot for fine sea-wate bathing, while boats are at hand for those who enjoy the fine fishing on the sound, either near by shore or farther out in the deep water off the rocks beyond. It has been well said by many that this delightful spot would sooner or later become a great popular summer resort for the people of New Haven and summer visitors to the city, owing to the fine natural att fractions of the location and now that it is easily accessible by the electric cars thousands will avail themselves of this fine opportunity for a summer outing at the shore.
 Now that this resort has become one of the termini of the Fair Haven and Westville railroad the railroad company has had plans prepared for improve ments which will greatly add to Cosey Beach's attractions as summer re- sort. The plans include the erection of a beautiful large and substantial pa vilion at Cosey Beach, which will afford a fine resting place for visitors. The pavilion will be a first-class structure provided with verandahs, while for the further comfort and pleasure of the public it will be equipped with large kitchen provided with all the facilities ,,eniIicitn tharpfn and bpra 1ipht rnfrpSh- ments will be served and possibly pro- vision may be made for serving shore dinners. Bathing houses will also be and, in short, everything will l be provided requisite for the enjoyment | of visitors who wish to spend quiet day at the shore free from boisterous | crowds or the annoyance common to | nearby shore resorts. Either for those | who wish to spend an hour or two at | the shore or those who wish to have a days outing no finer or more beautif >l on the Connecticut coast can be found than at Cosev Beach and the Den Mansfield Grove. The advan- tage of a quiet spot like this, where families can enjoy an outing assured of 1uiet and repose, and free from any thing unpleasant or disquieting, vii! be at once appreciated and taken advan- tage of. The plans for the pavilion have been drawn by MT. Robinson the architect, and have practically received the approval of the management of the 'ailroad company; and in all probability he work of erecting the pavilion and other improvements will begin as soon IS the season will permit.
