seafish of all kinds. Many private wharves and
lighthouses line the beach, and all kinds OF craft
both sailing and steam. are anchored out in the
harbor.
There is a wide. sandy beach. and behind 1T the
high, bluff coast that makes the northern side of
Long Island so picturesque and healthful. These
bluffs are for the most part. thickly covered with
trees that he who has built cottage overlook
ing the bay need have little fear of great heat
during the summer. On the western side of the
harbor many elegant summer homes have been
built, and large beautiful estates laid On the
south lies the town of st. James and over on the
eastern shore the actors colony has been estab-

Back some distance from the Shore Inn. and

The days are spent in all sorts of diversions and
amusements. The beautiful woods afford many a
long walk, and not a few of the city people spend
great part Of their time in stroing along through
this Long Island Forest of Arden. Then. too
many enjoy horseback riding; in the afternoon
cavalcades set out in all directions to take long
cursOns through the country. Sailing is naturally
one Of the chief pleasures. Nearly everybody has
some sort of a boat. As the distance to the Sound
is short. It is but matter of a few minutes to
get out into broader water. Bridgeport is almost
directly opposite the mouth of the inlet, easy
and direct port of destination IS always at hand.

the stretches of woods and scrub lands also, but
with them magnificent views OF the bay from the
height of the bluffs.
When ST. James IS entered there is nothing much
to be until the harbor is reached. for here
the summer homes and the vacation colony. The
steep road down the bluffs through the thick woods
with glimpses OF the boat covered harbor and the
hills Of Connecticut family across the Sound
is a bit OF beauty hard to forget If once seen.
