girls all gave evidence that having given
up the cares Of business and home, they
were bent on having a good time-and
they had it. Everybody was happy. AT
Petoskey Conductor Flaherty tarried the
train long enough to give the party
time to pass through the Arlington
House, II. 0. Rose acting as pilot. BY
the time Mackinaw City was reached
all were ready for supper, and the Went
worth dining room was made the Objec-
tive point by the hungry crowd, but the
management was equal to the occasion,
and all were satisfied. The Michigan

road, and passed the party to Cheboygan
free, where they were landed on time

At l0p. m. Wednesday the TRIBUNE
man boarded the Messenger at her
wharf. Mr.. Sanford Baker. wife, Miss

Mr.. Adams and wife, parents of MIR.
John Adams, here OH visit from Detroit,
Mr.. IL. II. Packard and wife, and Judge
Sutton, were in the cabin, booked for
the trip. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker, and Mr..
and Mrs. Adams, were at a game of
whist. s0ftening the while with long
ago memories, bright and vivid in the
relaxed pastimes of silvered and respect
ed age. The whistle of the arriving
train, the noisy hack, the dray, and the
association, bag and baggage, followed
in quick succession to the steamer; the
captain. and his clerk received the tour
lists cordially. The state-rOoms being
insufficient, cots were prepared, and
soon the Messenger slipped out into the
straits, and the excursiOnists hied to
theif beds to cover the dark night in
sound sleep.
THE TRIP.
In the morning, after a calm voyage,
sound sleep prepared the sight seers for
the glories of st. Mary's river. Lake
George was reached about sun rise. This
is one Of the most beautiful handiwOrks
of nature, and the busy pens of seventy
five editors Will make it familiar to
many who may not have the like OppOr-
tunities. The hills on the sides rising
higher as they widen out from many
miles Of water surface, covered with
forest green, and right ahead mountain
shaped crowns reveal, as we approach,
that the channel has cleft their breasts,
leaving them quietly watching it's in
cessant flOw-all this in the grey of the
morning charms, sOOthes, and inspires
the heart. That is but one view. The
sun, as it rises, works its wonders, and
the journey here will give one every
shade and tint of landscape, not for
grandeur, but in quiet beauty it is sweet
and soft, no place more so.
There followed in our wake several
steamers, the Campana, with black hull
streaked Of white, overhauled us between
the Georges. She plies from COlling-
wood to Prince Arthur's Landing. There
was aboard hardy, bronzed fellows with
their wives and children for the great
west, and the upper cabin had its share
of tourists, the Londoner and swell with
glass and Dundreary fatigue airs, show
ing himself so out of place with the
brawny northwest More speed than us,
bunted the air and we
kept on our quiet way.
