The Fourth At The Lakes

Zukey Lake and Strawberry Lake were the scènes of gay times on the Fourth. The Keystone club, Ann Arbor f pon ing club and Strawberry Point club, with their friends, were all there in fu 1 blaat. Tne rumor, which had gone abroad, that J. F. Lawrence was to deliver an cration doubtless accounts, in a measura, (or the targe crowd which was present. It may be stated iccidentaJly, however, tnat the rumor was a cold b!ojiied "fake," iuventtd by a prominent lawyer cf this cuy. Despite the absence of the oration, the excursionists all had a good time. Tht re was good fishing, plenty of eatables and a tpring which possessed the faculty cf ejectingas many different kinds of 1 quids as a soda water fouDtain. Weü worn paths conducted the stracger to the spring, so that no one could be excused for not knowing where it was. About 9 o'olock, tbe visiting clubs were ready to reium. but in this inatance the old proverb, "where there is a will, there is a way" panned out most wretchedly, for the T. & A. A. engme had been so badly disabled and the sink-hoie at Howell had been giving so much trouble, that no train appeared umit about 3 o'clock in themorning, at which time a coló, hungry and pessimistic crowd rushed peil mell icto the coaches. Whitmore Lake also was pretty well patrouized on the Fourth. In the eveaing, dauces were given in the hotels and a gooi time in general was eijoyed. flere, too, a good many people wailed impatiently for the train, and kept themselves warm by building an immense bjnflre.
