 the Social Affair Last Night at Wood mont Chapei-New Haven and Milford
 Well Rspresented-Many October oc-

Silent, lonely. but not uninhabited Woodmont-by- -the-Sea in the warm, mellow sunshine of yesterday was ideal in autumnal beauty. A walk through the streets of the borough and around the shore finds silence and many de- serted cottages, although there are still a large number of people who enjoy the beautiful fall and still remains.
 The hotels with one exception are closed, the Pembroke hotel having clos ed it's doors yesterday.
 Mrs. Carl Schlect will keep the Mer- win Point hotel all winter, and after a very successful summer has five guests remaining with her.
 The authorities of the borough are having a fence built at the curve of the road on Beach avenue in front of Colo nel Wooster's cottage to prevent teams from running off on the rocks. As the gas lamps at that point will not be lit the coming winter, the place was con- sidered dangerous.
