The second game of foot ball on
roller skates took place at the rink
last Wednesday night, and was very
interesting. The Dudes were dressed
in style, and the Mother Hubbards in
their bonnets and various colored
dresses, caused much amusement.
When the umpire gave the signal for
the battle to commence, there was q
rush for the ball, and the first COLI
sion resulted in Dude and two
Mother Hubbards forming a pyramid
on the floor. From that time to the
finish the game was exciting and
many of the contestants were foored.
The fun for the spectators was great.
The first gaol was won by the Mother
Hubbards, the second by the Dudes,
and the third and fourth by the
Mother Hubbards. who thus proved
the victors.

street. A stone basement eight feet
high will be placed under the build
ing, and the work of hauling the
stone has been going OH for some days.
All the cedar that has ornamented
the ground there for some years past,
has been removed. The hotel is to
have all the modern Improvements
among which will be an elevator to
save guests the tiresome walk up
stairs. The various rooms will be
heated by steam.
The house will have bath rooms,
electric bells, gas, hot and cold water,
and in fact will be an hotel Of the
most modern style.
This enterprise of Mr.. Churchill
will be of great benefit to Alpena,
and particularly to that part of the
city in the vicinity Of the hotel. It's
situation is good one. 1t is con-
venient to the steamboat landing and
it will not be very far from the rail-
way depot. when it is erected in its
permanent position near Second street
bridge. While the building is not
very far from the business portion of
the city, yet it is far enough away to
make it quiet and agreeable for guests.
The grounds between the building
and the bay, will, we believe, be con-
verted into lawn, and prove pleas
ant place. Fine shade trees are
numerous on the streets near by, and
more will probably be planted.
Such a building has long been
needed in this city, and we are of the
opinion that it will be extensively
patronized by tourists during the
summer months. 1t will also increase
the value of the adjacent property
and cause many thousands of dollars
to be expended in Alpena, by travellers,
who, in past years, have scattered
their shckels in other places. Mr..
Churchill's commendable enterprise
deserves success, and we believe he
will be we'll rewarded.
The trayel of tourists up the shore,
during the summer months, has been
increasing every year since the fine
steamers of the Detroit & Cleveland
Steam Navigation Co. were placed on
the route, and the number who will
travel the route in the coming years,
is sure to increase. The railroad COM
panies are making preparations to
erect a large hotel at Mackinac,
where tourists can be accommodated
in first class manner at reasonable |
rates. and this will tend to draw still |
more to take a summers trip up the |
shore. Last season the steamers were
unable to accommodate all who desired |
10 make the pleasant trip, and many
If those who did 60 to the island
Gould not find decent accommoda-
ions.
The Churchill House in this city
will, we believe, be the means of in
iucing many of these tourists to stay
few days in this city. Such visitors
ire cash customers and leave consider
ably money in the places they stop
1t. 1t will therefore be benefit to
he various business houses, to the
livery stables, and to tho community
in general.
