 NEW HAVEN 
 
 jgjEW HAVEN, a city of 125,000 inhabitants, is situated on the Connecticut shore of Long 
 Island Sound at its widest point. It is frequently called the " City of Elms " because of the 
 large number of elm-trees that arch its streets and form beautiful vistas as far as the eye can 
 reach. But New Haven is probably most widely known as the seat of Yale University. 
 
 New Haven was settled in 1638, and it grew rapidly in size and importance. Its impor- 
 tance was greatly increased when Yale College (founded at Saybrook in 1700, and named 
 after Elihu Yale) was moved to it in 17 16. 
 
 The University now has many beautiful buildings, and covers a wide area of ground, in the 
 centre of the city. They are naturally the principal objects of interest. 
 
 New Haven is also famous for its manufactures. The " Winchester " firearms and the " New Haven " clocks 
 are used the world over. It has the largest hardware manufactory in the country, as well as rubber shops that 
 have few equals. These industries alone give employment to nearly 6,000 people. 
 
 Historically, New Haven presents a rich field for investigators. Judges' Cave, which was used as a hiding- 
 place by the regicides, Goffe, Whalley and Dixwell ; the building occupied by Benedict Arnold ; the Grove 
 Street Cemetery, which contains the graves of Noah Webster (of dictionary fame) and Eli Whitney (inventor of 
 the cotton-gin); Fort Hale and Fort Wooster, both of Revolutionary fame — are some of the most interesting 
 places. 
 
 Recreation and amusement find a prominent place in New Haven life. Its park system is well developed, 
 and East Rock Park, with its Soldiers' Monument, beautiful drives, and the view across Long Island Sound, has 
 at once the advantages of both mountain and seashore scenery. The " White City " at Savin Rock, on which 
 more than $150,000 have been expended, has become famous as a place of amusement, not only in the State, but 
 all over New England, and is visited by thousands of people daily during the season.
