ed by Mr.. j. w. Whitman, and was re-
sponded to by nearly POO, including few
| from adjoining towns. The day was all
that could be desired. Gaines, at the
Stevens house, appeared in his usual
good humOr as we lodged our horses
with him for safe Eeeping. At the wharf
we found the Lily and its very gentle.
manly Captain Daniels ready for the trip,
with the necessary arrangements for
comfort to all. After some delay caused
by some procrastinators, we swung out
upon the CLASSY waters of Otter Creek
At the lower wharf we took some coal
barges in tow, which served as regulators
of speed. or at least gave us about two
hours before Fort Cassln appeared in view.
All was quiet here. The water of the
lake glistened in the morning sun with
just swell enough to assure the timid
ones that our ride to the harbor would be
a pleasant and safe one. At half-past
twelve o'clock we hailed a jolly crowd OF
campers, who welcomed us right hear lily
as we once more stepped on terra firma
We found the GROUNDS in order, swept
and garnished by mine host Winans, who
had sufficiently recovered from his late
illness to attend personally to our wants
The inner man now promptly notified us
of its wants, and from Widespread boards
supplied from our heavy baskets, salts
faction was soon given. Now came boat
riding, visiting, bathing and other recre
alton until nearly five p. m, when the
scream of the whistle notified us that the
time of our departure was at hand. Moth
ing occurred during our return triI
worthy of notice. The children's faces
gave evidence of inward JOY and satisfac
tion, which gave ample reward for al
care and effort that had been put forth
Brother Whitman WAS prominent through
the day here and there, ,ministering to all
anxious to add If possible to the enjoy
ment of the day. The thanks of tn,
schools are due to him for his kindness
and we read in the good book that "inas
much as ye have done it to the least o
these ye have done unto me-" We touch
ed land at Vergennes about 7 o'clock
were soon safe ashore, and wended ou
way homeward, with verdict of success
for the day.
