 BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS BY A NEW
 TOWN BOY
 OF VILLAGES ON LONG ISLAND, PAST
 AND PRESENT, AS HE FINDS THEM
 IN TRAVELLING THROUGH
 Left Bridgeport May 15 on board steamer Nonowantuc. The day was all that could be desired, and as we pass out into the Sound the first point of interest is Middle Ground Light, erected in the middle of Long Island Sound, on sand bar. As we approach the Long Island shore, on our right we pass Old Field lighthouse. Then as we pass in between the break waters, Port Jefferson looms up with it's superb harbor snugly ensconced be- tween the luxuriant hills on either side. As one of the most important centers of trade in Suffolk county, and the largest ship-building port upon the island, it's value as a commercial cen ter cannot be too highly estimated, conveniently situated as it is, in the midst of a large agricultural district and small villages.
 The principal newspaper is the Port Jefferson Times. While Port Jeffer- son excels in facilities for yachting, boating, fishing, etc., it's vicinity fur nisheS advantages none the less att tractive to those who can appreciate beautiful walks in section of the country where the natural scenery of Long Island is unsurpassed. Now, as to industries. The shipbuilders are busy. They have large four-maSted schooner underway on the stocks, also a large steamboat for Connecticut par ties, and in fact all three yards are busy repairing and fitting out yachts. Four miles to the west lies Setauket, a little more inland at the side of a long fresh water lake which emptieS into the Sound. There is an air of perfect tranquility which seems to reign over this delightful bit of land scape. As to the industries on the hill stand the two large rubber fac tories, surrounded by empty tenant houses, and as everything was so quiet concluded that they were monu- ments maintained by the rubber trust.
 To the east lies Mt Sinai, a farming district situated on the bluffs. Next Miller's Place and Rocky Point; snug ly ensconced among the pine trees we find the holiday houses, one of the charming places on the North shore. To be continued.-[Traveler. ;, ,,.s :s<.}s..,, <, When you take your best girl to Bridgeport try one of Brennan'S fla nous dinners, at 42 and II Cannon street.
