Watch Hill, R. 1., July 27 (Special). -Watch Hillhotels are fillingup. If they are not full already,but even in the most crowded house room is always

found for one more.By a technicality in the call for the special town

meeting to take action on the extension of theWesterly water system to Watch Hill, the matter

was not finally disposed of yesterday; but anothercall has been issued for next Friday. The com-mittee of nine has engaged Samuel M. Gray, a civilengineer, to look over the field, and he is of theopinion that JR5.000 should be sufficient to take th*water to the hill. With pledges of from $25 to $50each, the ninety cottages and dwelling houses,

with the stores and hotels, and hydrant rental,should provide revenue enrugh to pay Interest onthe cost of the extension The need of a new watersupply is pressing.

Hotel guests have for the first time had an op-portunity In the last week to explore an unknowncountry from the top of the road coach Tantivy.

That they have enjoyed the glimpse Info th«famous Pequod country', between Watch Hill andNew-Lr»ndon is shown by the many commenda-tions that have been forthcoming on their returnto Watch Hill. The coach has a fine equipment ofhorses In relays. Schedule time Is always made.

•a CROW STORY.

; From The Louisville Courier-journal.

A few months ago the gardener on John T. Tel*ford's place at Peru, up the short line, acci-dentally wounded a crow while shooting at otherbirds, and he made a prison- of the bird. Afterits wings were clipped it became quite tame, and»a» placed in the garden, which is surrounded bya fence eight feet high. It thrived on warms anabugs, and became as docile as a chicken.. Whenthe warm weather set In other crows began togather about the garden at early dawn, and forhours at a time kept up a continual cawing: Thacrippled crow In the garden answered each cawand morning after morning the size of the visitingparty fncrease.l. until fully two dozen perchedthemselves on the fence.

On Sunday morning Mr. Telfordl heard a com-motion ln the garden. He went to investigate andfound four or five crows hovering around the crip-pled one. Presently he saw three of the visitorsplace their beaks under the cripple, lift itup andattempt to fly away. They managed to get th»cripple over the high fence, then it was droopedThe liberated bird hopped two hundred or threehundred yards, when allbut two of th« other crowsflew away. The remaining two swooped down on,the crippled bird and seemed to be careasiM Itwhen a boy captured the crippla and r«turn«diU tathe garden.

Block Island. July 27 (Special).— When Block Isl-and Is mentioned the hearer thinks of the broadexpanse of restless billows that surround it. Itslor.g sandy beach «nd white winged boats, flittingIn and out of the harbor; and. indeed, these are itschief attractions. Without the charms of the oceanBlock Islc.r.ii •would count for little as a summerresort, but still, the quaint, picturesque beauty ofthe island itself must not he overlooked. Here, asat Newport, there are two distinct elements, buthere they are blended into an harmonious whole.The summer cottager finds the aged fishermanmost entertaining as he tells his sailors yarns andtales of the pea. and instructive as well, as hetakes the visitor out In his boat arid carefully ex-plains to him the art of sailing and shows him howthe different kinds of fish are caught. Thus, thesetwo. «o widely separated for the rest of the year.

meet In the summer on an equal footing. So theyeach rive from their store of knowledge and be»omereal friends.

The cottager takes his family and calls upon the,

pood housewife, who at first is rather embarrassedby the visit of the "rich city folks," but as shefinds them interested In her simple life, she soonbecomes her good natured self again, and enter-tains her guests in her kindly, hospitable fashion.The visit of the pymmer guests Is looked forward to

iT.Ithe year by the residents, and makes a pleasantbreak in the monotony of their lives.

The location of the cottages, too, shows this lackof exclusiveness. for many of them are built sideby Fide with modest farmhouses, though th» most

of the cottagers prefer their homes upon the bluffsor on the beach, while to the average Block Isl-ander itis a sore affliction to have his house off themain road.It is a striking fact that the residents, although

they cannot set away from sight of the water,

build their houses as far from it as possible, andnever go down on the beach to read or sew to theaccompaniment, of the waves, never enjoy the ex-hilarating effects of a bath In the surf, or admireIts beauties.

THE LIFE ON THE ISLAND.

The who's Island is dotted with ponds, wind-ronis and picturesque farmhouses, cosily /••stle«lamong the hills, with their porches covered *-'.¦¦iivy and honeysuckle, while bright hued flowersbloom luxuriantly in the front yards. Occasionallysome of these housewives can be Induced to takesummer boarders, and then there is fun for thechildren, and the elders, too. sometimes, roaming;about among- th* flocks of chickens and ducks,feeding- th« pigs and visiting the barn to see thopatient cows, chewing their cuds, milked nightand morning. And the guests bring at mealtimefood appetites for the vegetables fresh from th»farm and the thick cream skimmed off the pans.But only a few can enjoy these delights, for most

of the housewives think they have no time to

bother with "strangers." as all save native BlockIslanders are called, and the rest must needs go to

the hotels.The beauties of Block Island are purely natural

ones, and all the more Inimitable for that reason.The country lanes are bordered with wild roses,

blackberry vines and. sweet clover, while in Sep-

tember the golden rod Is abundant. The roads araInclosed by rough stone walls, which add to the,qualntr.ess of the place. Th« most interestingdrives are to Clay Head to visit the Polar Waveand Beacon HillObservatory, from which.' on cleardays, a view of the mainland ran be obtained, andthe lifesavlng stations, and to Mohegan Bluffs.

Among the various attractions at the island. fish-ing holds the chief place. Swordflsh and bluefishvia with each other in popularity. Many of th«visitors are enthusiastic over the pleasures of.bluefisblng-. while Just as many are equally ardent |In their praises of -swordflshinsr. Both sports ere jextremely fascinating and exciting, as neither Ifish is any mean adversary. The larger fish

'fights valiantly, and It sometimes takes several ;

hours to capture it, even after it has been piercedby the harpoon. The pamy blueflsh, on the otherhand, fights by skill, not strength, and often es-capes when he Is almost landed. In their seasonsmackerel and see bass come in for a t=hare offavor, and codfishlng is popular all the yeararound, for the famous cod banks are within sightof the Island, while the supply of flounders, scupend weskfish teems so inexhaustible that they failto receive due appreciation.

Besides these, the fresh water lakes scatteredover the island offer a variety for the angler tochoose from. Most abundant are the black bass,pickerel and perch, and one enthusiastic fishermanaffirms that trout as -well would live In these¦waters.

BATHING A POPULAR DIVERSION.Bathing Is a dose second to fishing:, and is more

universally popular, as nearly every one at theIsle of Manlsees enjoys a bath in the surf. whll<»many are deterred from trying their luck on thedeep by fears of seasickness. Crescent Beach,¦where the bathing pavilion and bath houses arelocated, is one of the best on the Atlantic Coast,and Block Island devotees say that it is unrivalled.The sand is fine and clean, the beach la entirelyfree from stones and has a gentle elope, the wateris of the purest, and the undertow very slight,making; bathing safe for women and children.During bathing hours the beach presents an ex-ceedingly attractive appearance.

Nig-ht bathing is becoming; popular, and partiesare occasionally made up to take a dip in thecur? by moonlight. Those who have tried it saythat the water seems very mild and the moondoes no harm to their complexions

The cottage colony at Block Island has grownamazingly in the last few years. Although then-are several thoroughly up to date hotels her,., sum-mer visitors have learned to appreciate the ad-vantages of a summer home, and th*- result hasteen a line of cottages along Mohegan Bluffs andCrescent Beach. The drive along the cliffs, withth« broad expanse of ocean as far as eye can reach,and the waves idly splashing against the rocks150 feet below, the picturesque cottages dotted hereand there, with a. view of the harbor and CrescentBeach beyond, is. charming.

The most pretentious cottage Is that formerlyknown as Searlee mansion. This has recentlybeen purchased by J. Harper Bonnell. who changedIts name to Whitehall. Itis situated on Crescent¦Beach, and is an imposing figure when seen from">• Providence boat as itenters the harbor.

SOME NEW COTTAGES.One of the most attractive new residences here

Is Pine Lodge, belonging to Captain Mark L. Pot-ter, of Brooklyn. This is situated on the extreme«astern point of th« island, and commands abroad view of the ocean from north to south. ItIs a two story, double house. -SO feet square, fin-ished in hard pine and cypress, Ithas fifteen large,airy room* and a veranda extending around thre«fides. This is not yet completed, but will be ready

occupaiiy in August.Next to this is an artistic cottage owned by

Judge Boarmar.. of Georgia. The judge ha.s beenvisiting Block Island for several successive years,fna ruts at last decided to build a summer home£ere. It is built (ft hard pine from his nativepate, and commands an extensive view of theocean.

The greatest Improvement at Block Island is inits transportation service. One coming here from.New-York to-day on one of the commodiousKteajners of the Monta.uk Line, with their excel-lent service, or by the Norwich or Providenceroute, would scarcely believe that less than aQuarter of a century ago the only means of reach-ing Block Island was by the double ended Block'land fishing boats.

ThatJackson was so well and favorably known wasdue in large measure to the genial personality andhospitality of General M. C. Wentwcrth. of Went-worth Hall. General Wentworth has, to a con-siderable extent, left the guests of WentworthHall in the care of his assistant manager, J. M.Berry, but he has returned this summer, and bothare looking after the comfort of a list of guests

which is large in numbers for July. A new townlibrary, directly opposite Wentworth Hall, is soonto be dedicated, and will form only a single itemin a season's programme of Intellectual and musi-cal features. By way of sport, the golf links Is

altitudes and blankets are a luxury every night,

with few exceptions.The romantic drive from Hooker's to Canadensis.

Spruce Cabin Inn and Buckhill Falls is still the

favorite and is a difficult one to heat for all that

tends to wild scenery and romantic surroundings.

The old Jay Gould cottage and ruins of his tan-

nery are still there to tell of the early career of

the railroad king. Tennis. Rolf and roaming aboutthe steep hills are still the delights at PoeonoMountain House and dancing and cards help to

while away many an evening

In my opinion, the air In the Poeono MountainsIs as buoyant and full of life sustaining propertiesas that of the Adlromlacks. and, being stronglypermeated with the very essence of the resinouspine that grows in the high altitudes of Pennsyl-vania.
