steamer 'Jay Cooke" loaded with ex-
cursionists, found deeper channel out
of Sandusky than the Farris needs, but
came up alongside presently. and salu-

The larger lake steamers touch at
Marblehead when they cannot run in
at Lakeside, and the young lads who
come every summer to the family home
at Lakeside can tell you by its whistle
what ship is signaling its coming or
departure.
There are a great many children here,
and to many of them the freedom and
outdoor pleasures are luxury not
possible in their city homes; and it Is q
frequent pretty picture to see one or two
tired out babies asleep in hammock
under the trees.
THE CHIME OF BELLS
and the electric light are among the
new things this year, though, of course,
there are great many new cottages
and strangers. Faces seen by the cleo
trio light have a clear paleness like
those in stereoscopic pictures. and the
Auditorium is almost as light at night
as by day. Rev. W. s. Fitch is to have
charge OF the singing during camp
meeting. Last evening Prof. Joseph
Tingley, so many years Professor of
Natural Sciences at the Indiana Asbury
University, delivered his last lecture Of
this course, which was reported in the
dailies this morning. Though larger
man, he very much resembles his only
brother, Prof. Tingley, Of Allegheny
College, who has also.made science In
the natural world his enthusiastic life
study. Every college pupil of the other
must have recalled his old professor of
the laboratory in the simplicity and
clesrness of the lecturer last evening.
His sexcellentuseo of languageis is also alike
characteristic. Our Professor Tingley
used to say, fGive your answers as
nearly as possible in the language Of
the textbook; you can hardly improve
on that, and will become habituated to
correct and concise expression" DIR.
Hedley, assisted by Prof. Tfngley, gave
a hundred or more views, thrown on
screen by calcium light, as the final
entertainment of the Sabbath School
Assembly. ri
Heavy express wagons are rumblin g
through these stony aisles called streets
between the rows of cottages, all day,
and are an accompaniment to all our
dreams late and early.
ROWING -.s -a
is very much indulged, and there are at
all times, when it would be at all pleas
ant, plenty of these frail barks skim
ming the water. A gentleman and
wife and children from Detroit, who
have rooms in the house Of our towns
man, Mr.. Shubal Smith, last Saturday
were out rowing and the lake became so
rough that they were carried far out,
and gave up ever getting to land alive,
when a sail vessel picked them up, took
them aboard and brought them grate-
fully ashore. ssaas
THE PENINSULA.
This morning we drove through the
eneampment to the south, striking the
ridge, at little distance, leading across
the peninsula toward Sandusky. The
weather was extremely sultry, the sky
perfectly clear, but through these groves
of oak and butternut the lake breezes
came delightfully."- cool. The scanty soil
covering the limestone rock furnishes
slight sustenance for anything very
large in the way of timber, and the ex-
panse of open prairie which we present
ly crossed was covered with a low
growth of what resembled the penny
royal plant; except in the groves Of
young trees, where grass invites the
herds of cattle that roam this wide pas
ture. Some of it is fenced, and near the
timbered portions of the peninsula peach
orchards and vineyards abound, and
corn fields, potato and vegetable gar
dens indicate the vicinity of dwelling,
and in quiet retreats some handsome
and many more uhpretentious rural
homes are found. We came out
at last to charming view Of the lake,

away into the water, which was white
as silver and of indescribable bright
ness under the clear shining Of cloud
less sky. The 18th Regiment o. N. g.,
from Mt. Vernon and vicinity, and the
18th Regiment, from Delaware, Colum-
bus and towns between, are encamped,
one on the prairie back of Lakeside and
the other at Point Marblehead, mile
above here, both of which camps we
passed in our morning drive. The in
fiexibility of camp regulations is Illus
trated In the pitching of the tents out in
the open field under the burning sun In
regular lines. instead Of scattering them
among the groves al. about, where shade
would be abundant. These blue-coated
warriors appear to have been recruited
from among college boys and clerks,
though some are bronzed enough to
have come from the harvest fields.
On Friday evening the 14th Regiment
was reviewed by Gov. Foster. 1t is the
fullest regiment in the State, and pre-
sents a fine appearance. On Saturday
afternoon members of the Governors
Staff reviewed the 18th Regiment on the
same ground. This regiment attended
service iE the Auditorium Sunday morn
ing, seats being reserved for them. We
visited their camp Saturday, when they
were nrenarino rations. and saw the
