Milford chronicle., 1932-08-12

| Thursday of next week will be thu
big day at this resort, and those whit
are in business here are making
preparations for the usual large
crowd that come here on Big Thurs
day" The custom for many years
was to come to the shore on Wednes-
hday night in order to see the sur
rise the next morning. Really, the
main reason probably was to give
the horses a rest so that they would
be fresh for the trip home on the
following day, for the distances were
long in the days of the horse and
carriage. Much of that has been
done away with, since the advent of
the automobiles. However, Wednes-
day evening is still popular with
those who like to come early in or
der not to miss anything. Should
the day be favorable the crowd will
be big one,
Fish are still plentiful. On Mon
day evening Everett Deputy, Willis
Hammond and Amos Cattell went to
the coral beds and came back with
seventy fish of various sizes. but
mostly of the large kind. One trout
caught weighed ten pounds. Those
who like fishing should plan a trip
to Slaughter Beach now.
