A Trip to Watch Hill.
Ki'iTuK Patriot:—We left Putnam
last Friday for Watch Hill vta New
1 .oikion. on the steamer Bloch Island,
with Captain Phelps in command. He
will be remembered by your citizens as
running the Pomfret street market,
and the tlrsl man to run it to the satis
faction of the public and profit to him
self.
The party consisted of Mrs Ham
mond. Hr. Neil Macphaller, Miss Sara
Holt, of New York, and Miss l.au
ra Todd, of New York, formerly of
Ohio—who followed in Joy s Bed Wing
auto, both arriving al*out the same
hour—a compliment to the machine
and especially to the owner and driver,
than whom no sujierlor can lie named.
As all rooms in the Ocean House
were occupied, we were given a suite in
••Ninigrel lAKlge," where we are com
fortably housed in connecting rooms—
parlor and hot and cold w ater baths.
Saturday morning it #s- raining
v ery hard, and while we arc but a blin k
away, we had a carriage sent to take
us to the hotel, iieing driven over the
lawn to our very door, and when we
reached the lawn of the hotel were dri
ven up the broad asphalt walk over a
IHirtion of the lawn to the steps at the
main ent ranee.
We informed Mr. Kolierts, the genial
c!crk,ttiat there was but one thing lack
ing. “Amt what may tlial la'.’" lie
asked.. “Simply that you lia<l taken
us direct to the table in our private
dining room," we replied.
The Ocean House, as well as the
Watch Hill House, is under the man
agement of Mr. t’hampiln, of the well
known “Wellington," in New York.
Kver.v attention is allow n the guests,
making it more of a home than a live
tel, and the ser\ ice in the dining rooms
is especially good, the issiking more
nearly approaehing the liome table,
with everything desirable—fruit ami
vegetables fresh in season. Situated on
the ipilel portion of the Hill,excursion
ists the daily visitors' are never seen
here.
Hon. Kdwin Milner, who presented
Yale College with »s>o,t*oo, the income
of which is to tie applied to assist w or
thy Windham county young men in
pursuit of their studies—is s|lending
the season here with llis family. I,ieu*
tenant (iovernor I,ake a,nd family are
also here for the season. Tire Olneys
and the Ktliolts are In ,■ fr> m Thoin|v
son; and we may mention the l*resi
dentof the I'lnenix lire Insurance Co.
ol Hartford.
With clams and lobsters, the great
variety of lish fresh from tire waters
adjoining, and bucklelierries, there Is
I tile else to Ire said. All these we lime
w ith much more.
Friday afternoon there was a spirit

was recently called to straighten out a
little throwing plant in Connecticut at
a -.alary of *l.*nti a year, for a man who
ha<i u** timed the management, foil had
accumulated ttie worst cane of cold feel
ever known in the hunlnesn, and, by
the name token, the laughing-stock of
the three large silk concern* in which
hi* father had held the most confiden
tial relation* for forty yearn—and the
\ery three concern* who were the great
est com|ietiUirH of the concern which

cane where assumption never ruled so
completely, and where the performance
wan never ao alight, being largely by

We were met by an auto at Groton
and dined at the Griswold, erected by
Morton Plant, who. in addition, spent
a million dollars on hi* Italian Villa
and garden*, on the most eastern {mini
of the jieiiinsula. No better summer
hotel building, from Maine to south
ern Florida, t\i«fs. nor any having
higher rates, but simply in f keeping
with the service rendered. With the
costly building, tile furnishings, and

We concluded our online w ith a visit
to the faetoi v of the New London Wash

Robert Smith, “Johnny on tire Spot,’’

City Court—It n •**(!. .httlf*,
The first oast- taken ii|> by tlie court,
Monday morning, was the adjourned
ease of Na|*oleon Undo, charged w ith
doing secular business on Sunday, and
keeping o|nmi a shop and excising pro
perty for sale contrary to law. Ilodo
was the clerk in Mayhew's lunch room
who was arrester I a vink ago Sunday.i
I’ruseeuting Attorney Card stated
that it had laen agreed between him
self and counsel for the defendant that
no evidence be put in, but that a state- !
meut la- made of the facts, lie said
the place is a lime It room, hut that reg
ular meals were served there, lie said
lhal goods were sold al retail in a lunch
room and that therefore the place was
a shop within the meaning of the sin
lute, hut it li is a restaurant il is not a
shop. If a person goes Into a place
and has food cooked for him il is a
meal, lull If he only buys a piece of pie
1 claim Unit is not a substantial meal.
I think lhal soda or other temperance
drinks can l>e sold with a meal as well
as U-e cream.
Attorney J. K. Carpenter, who ap
|<eared for the defendant, then asked
his honor to make this ruling:
"So long as the serving of meals and
order cooked food is the principal
business of a restaurant, kept o|ien for
that purpose all of the six week-days,
the proprietor shall not Is? considered
as \ iolHltng the law in selling, on Sun
day, cooked food, milk to be drunk on
the premises, and fruit, itx* rrenm and
lmltled leitiiieranee diinks. when serv
ed with cocked IikmI ns pai t of a meal.”
The Prosecuting Attorney -aid he
didn't think lie could find uni fault
with that, and he said II il mi l w ith
in- honor's approval, lie would with
draw the complaint.
Mr. l'nr|K‘iilor then said: "Therecan
Ik- no doubt alsiiil the correctness of i
this ruling, your honor, except the sale
of tcm|icrniH-c drinks. I don’t know
how your honor feels regarding that.
I arrived in New London the nlliei !
evening on my way home. Il was
about live o’clock, and I wasn't !■> get
home till eiglii, so I went up the street
to one of the lending hotels anil into
the cafe to gel something to eat. There
was a lleet of iui ships in the harbor,
and llieic were four otileers in the cafe
and not one of them but what a tern
I eraiu-e drink wilh his food. There ^
were also several civilians, and they j
Phi had temperance drinks. I also
went Into a working-man’s restaurant
ami found such drinks a substantial ,
part of the meal. As a rule, collet' Is
not very good in these places, and tea
is not a dinner or morning drink. 11
is a telief to have n irottle of ginger ale
or sarsiiparilla, and there is no more
harm in it than having a glass of milk; ,
nor as much harm as in drinking ice j
w ater. Water, too, changes in differ- j
cut places, and one should !*■ earelul
how he drinks it. I think it is belter j
for our restaurants to Is- allowed tosell '
tem|>erance drinks than to drive the
peiiple lu \V«lMter, where llicy c<n le
gally get a lailtie of beer with a meal,
or a highball ff they want it.”
Hit honor sail! lie waa willing to
agree to this ruling. If the founilation
oT any |>lace open on Hurulay ia or
der cooked food ami regular meala, al
though regular meala may not be nerv
ed to all jiersoii*, If regular meala con
atlluted the work of the day. If theae
two are carried on aa the regular order
of work, I see no objection to including
a piece of pie or a trow I of crackera and
milk, and I would add that concession
provided those other two things are
always present.
Tha Prosecuting Attorney then asked
if his honor considered it necessary to
cover up goods that : were ex|s>sed for
saie. His honor replieil that when ci
gars arid cigaretts were kept for sale as
in other restaurant, lie thought they
should be.
The Attorney said he meant pies and
food. His honor said he thought that
was splitting hairs. II it is legitimate
property, such as food. I think he can
keep it in any proper place and al
I though exposed to view he didn't think
; it a violation of the law. The only j
I thing lie should object to was tilling I
windows full of ttie different kinds of
‘ food that were for sale. Hut inside he
didn’t see why we should go so far a*
to cover it up so jieople couldn't -e<
what there was to eat. He thought
sanitary conditions demanded rather
it tie kept inclosed, as spoken of In this
, instance, in a glass case.
The ca->e was then withdrawn.
The case of Adolph Lcelair, charged
with drunkenness, breach of the jwace
and abusive language, was adjourned
1 to Tuesday morning in order to have
important witnesses summoned
The ca-o of Thom a- Vieau, charged
with theft, was t!»e next case. A pita
of not guilty vit entered
1V1« Hibeaull, an old itnllrinmi,
testified that while in hack of Muire'a
saloon he met Yleau, who a-ked him
for a drink, ami u|wn Ivina refuted,

would give the |>eople of Putnam real
liberty. Now, tnatead of making Put

likely of becoming, Sunday la to bo
desecrated not only by the sale of soda

Anyone who wants to do huaineaa

Sum Kcntck, who keeps a smalt nrim>

business on Sunday, a* he had not
done lately, hut It was not groceries ha
sold to any amount. The I lost on, New

supplied to purehasers from early morn
till late at mghl. Several other new
lines of articles were also added to Id*
business, and all who wanted could
have candy, soda water,lee cream, |>osi

did a flourishing business, and can
now well afford to close Ids bustnesa

\\ lien the early tsiat train arrived

he knew was to lie earned out. New-**
pallets were served as usual to regular
customers all over the city. Not the

The Sunday i|uesLt*»n has lasen the
one absorbing topic on (lie slrecl the

settled, and that is, that for the gissl
of the community, the licensing sys

wldeh now exists, ami which will al
ways prove a serious annoyance to the
great body of our cilixen*. In a sense

under Hint dellanee will cause them to
feel humiliated.
