morning the clouds denoted coming
change, which was realized soon after noon'

out i'm the bay just in time to receive the
full force of the sqUall as it came from the
Upper lake, and was beached
near the Hotel st. Louis. No
lives were lost. the crew escaping

amusements consisted of dancing on the
boat and social converse.

grove. Dinner was dispatched none too
soon. The black clouds came up from the
west, and they We're soon followed by the
fierce storm they presaged. The wind blew
in gusts and sent the entire party hurrying
into the hotel for protection from the
angry elements. Here Millard's Or
chestra, which furnished the music for
the day. was stationed in the large dining
hall, and the tables having been removed
by the maids of the hOstelry, terpsichOrean

storm abated.

foot-racing, etc, in an informal way, Occu-
