SUMMER GUESTS DEPART,


 With the advent of the first autumn month the summer hotels about Lake side are relieved of many of their guests, the school and other home duties drawing goodly proportion of the city people back to their own life and requirements. This season has seemed exceptionally short here. It did not commence exceptionally we'll in July, and while August has been a fairly good month, it has not con- pared as fayorably at all hotels and boarding places as in former years. Several reasons are apparent for this change, principally, the writer believes that the Pan-American has taken away great many, who having linn ited number of days for their vacation have taken in the Exposition, and some other short excursions to coming here or some other summer resort for their outing. New Preston people al- ways regret this closing hour of the boarding season. The village, the lake and the vicinity around is more affect ed and benefited by these summer visi- tants than is usually imagined, al- though few depend on that branch of industry too much. So that when the season is little slow, their circum- stances are too greatly affected. Let us hope the year has been so good for the farmer, that we shall not seriously feel during the winter, the lack now known of the usual influx of city vis- itOrs here this season. Your cores pondent las always thought if more manufacturing could be introduced along the East Aspetuck stream from the lake to Marketable, the people would not so greatly depend on the boarding season for profit, but for 20 years this has seemed the same for lack

Nature seemed to shower her brightest smiles upon the happy couple prepar- ing to embark on their journey of wed. ded life. AS a special request of the bride, "The Bridal Chorus" from "The Rose Maiden," was sung at the opening, by Miss Mabel Todd Harri- son, sister of the bride, Miss Jessie o. Hart accompanying. This was fol. lowed by two other selections on the piano, by Miss Hart.
