by thousands Of city people, the fact OF the
HERALD's enterprise has spread, and beyond
all appreciation is valued as q boon. Pre-
viOus isolation has been bridged over by
the HERALD and thus the one great drawback
to the popularity of the lake and its surroundings
has been removed. On Sunday afternoons the
hotels are crowded with eager HERALD readers,
awaiting the arrival OF your courier amid whom
the excitement Is as great, If not as thrilling, as
was the arrival OF Indian runners in the days of
Indian warfare, for every rood OF ground

on either side of the lake, while the little steamers
Lily n. Price and Ganouske, which run fourteen
miles down the lake, do similar HERALD service at
