According to arrangements made by
Bro. Miller OF the ADVANCE, G. i.
l.oveless, Clavt. uumiston and some
others, the party arose 1T daylight and
strolied over to the sandy shores OF
Okuben;l where boats were at THEN
command. Fishing parties, rowing
| and sailing about, occupied the time
until y O'Clock when breakfast vas
ready at the Worthinyton Hotel. l,
was very pleasant riding on the lake
and WAS one OF the noted Textures OF
the trip. The morning WAS beautiful
and with just enough breeze to make
good sailing, and with an experienced
sailor like Capt. l.ovcless 1T the helm
the utmost safety from ca'siZil'g wa:
at once assured. One Of ye editors O.

plat of ground between Two lakes. Th
buildings are substantial and: neat J
