 Woodmont attracted many visitors Labor day, although the day was very quiet. Many of the cottagers ale leav- ing their summer homes and few new people are arriving. the month of Sep tember being considered by many as the loveliest of the year. Certainly the warm weather and the clear bracing breezes of yesterday seemed to add new beauty to the place, although the continuous chipping of the crickets and the early sunset combine to show that the summer is over and done. and work must take the place of pleasure. The season has not been very gay and many of the shore residents did not arrive until August.
 The hotels have been well filled and will be open some time longer, except ing the Sanford house, which will prob ably close next week.
