At Whitmore Lake. 

A Masked Ball Furnished Much Enjoyment.

Whitmore Lake, July 14. - (Special correspondence). - A large masquerade ball, 40 couple being masked, was held at the Lake house this evening. It was given in honor of John Rane who leaves for Alaska Tuesday. It was a great success in every way. Miss Nellie Storm and John Rane led the grand march after which a cake walk followed. It was led by Miss Anna Pepper, of Columbus. Miss Henriette Brown (in boys costume) and Miss Helen Hillman, both from Toledo, took the cake. Miss Nellie Stevens received the first prize for the most elegant ladies costume, and Miss Tillie Dietzel for the most comical. The judges were Miss Pepper, of Toledo, Mrs. Ormbruster, and Mr. Barr, Columbus, and Dr. A.J. Nichols, of Whitmore Lake. The music was furnished by an Ann Arbor orchestra. 

There were guests present from Ann Arbor, Marquette and other places.

Landlord Stevens, of the Lake house is at his wits end to provide sleeping accommodations for his guests. The house is filled with guests from Columbus, Toledo and Detroit. N. Stanger, is registered here.
