HOME NEWS. POPULAR FAIRFIELD BEACH.
INCREASING IN FAVOR AS A SUMMER
 RESORT.

Fairfield Beach is growing rapidly in popularity. The cottages have multiplied in number during the past two years. It is desirable resort being located conveniently near Bridgeport, most of the visitors being from Bridgeport and Surrounding towns. Clamming and fishing are good. A party going out, one after. noon last week, fished off Sunken Is land; one of the party hauled in three large black fish inside of five minutes. There are some oysters here. The weather, although it has been very cloudy through July, has not been un- comfortable and we have taken one plunge in the salt water every day.
 A stroll along the beach reveals treasures in the shape of pretty shells, etc. The cottages are mostly new.
