THE FOURTH AT LAKE TAHOE.

| breezy, but pleasant, OOon aIIer uayllSn
many persons in stages, carriages and Oh
horses, were on the road between Carson anC
Glenbrook, making for the Lake at a lively
pace, their object being ride in the cool o
the morning, a change of scenery and sal
upon the water. Many, too, had gone to the
lake the day previous; and others, resident
elsewhere, had been there for days and weeks
with the intention of remaining until after
the Fourth 1t was announced that the
Floating Palace would make an excursion tc
the various points of especial interest around
the lake. Private parties had been offered, by
the owners, the use of the fast sailing iron
clad propeller; the "Meteor," for
COMPLETE TOUR
From the Glenbrook to Hot Springs, Tahoe,
Sugar Point, Emerald Bay, Tallac and other
places This boat is appropriately named, as
it can glide over the lake at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. 1t actually did sail at very
nearly that rate On board this boat were
Mr. E. B. Rail, who acted as Conductor, and
his family; Mr.. H. J. Peters and family; Mr..
l. c. Bateman, wife and friends; Mr.
Hosmer of San Francisco, Mr.. H. H. Allen,
and Messrs E. B. Pixley, S. D. King, and
others, accompanied by ladies. They were
well prepared for picnic, The party visited
the Hot Springs, Tahoe City, Sugar Point,
Emerald Bay and Tallac. At Emerald Bay
they held their
PICNIC IN THE GROVE,
Than which more delightful place could not
be found. They visited the Cascade, and all
themselves greatly delighted with
the excursion. The strong wind caused
'white caps" to run upon the water
and large waves to rise and fall and surge and
break, across which the "Meteor" cut its
rapid course, and dashed the spray, with
graceful ease and surprising speed. Some
idea of this boat may be gained from the
statement that it is about seventy-five feet in
length less than ten feet across in its widest
part, and, as before stated, iron-clad As
it has powerful steam machinery,
which has driven it across the lake in thirty
seven minutes. A convenient cabin, of
moderate dimensions of course, makes it very
comfortable for small number of passengers.
It is not our design to speak of the
CHARMING SCENERY OF THIS INLAND SEA
n the great basin formed by the enclosing
capped SUBMITS of the Sierra range of
with the pine forests sloping to |
he waters edge; of its craggy peaks; nor of
is interestingly strange characteristics, which |
AVE received such repeated and enthusiastic |
in the prints of the day All |
hese were enjoyed by the appreciative ex-
as they rapidly sailed in their
lidst, partaking of good cheer, frequently
the occasion by song. Mr.. Bate
IAN and party, and the gentlemen and ladies
rom San Francisco, remained at Tallac,
hence they will visit many objects of interest
l that locality, which are numerous and of
psy access. The other parties returned in
he evening to Carson. The placing of the
Meteor at the disposal of the party was
ne of the many like generous acts on the
art of the owners of that boat, who we
eleve, are Messrs. D. L. Bliss & Co.
THE FLOATING PALACE
ad on board very large number of ladies
I'd gentlemen. A fine band of music was
/ board, and added much to the pleasure of
lie trip. 1t was gaily decorated with flags
landing was made at Tahoe City, and
lother at Sugar Pine Point. The rolling of
e boat by the waves and strong wind caused
me "sea sickness among the passengers,
ID retarded progress to such degree that
e tour of the lake was not made complete,
e boat returning, we believe, from Sugar
me Point direct to Glenbrook. There was a
BALL IN THE EVENING
t Tallac, and another at Glenbrook. 1t was
to some persons that trains u
ere not running on the Narrow Guage Rail
ad. An excursion over that road to the
lmmit and return would have added much
their enjoyment on that day. Altogether
, think the day was spent in as much en-
yment by those at the lake as was antici-
