been thus far the busiest week of the
season. The weather ON the Fourth
was all that could have been asked for.
and the lake was thronged with sight
seers and picnickers from early morn
until late at night. Early in the day
the Duluth road discharged its first load
of human freight at the station, and
from then until late in the afternoon
trains arrived every few minutes
from st. Paul, Minneapolis and
Saltwater loaded with people dressed
in holiday attire and intent
on duly celebrating the nations natal
day. All the available rolling stock
that could be had was pressed into serv
ice; even fat cars, boarded around the
sides and shaded by an awning over
head, were made to do duty as passenger
coaches. The steamer Dispatch, with
her smaller comprehensive steam and
naphtha launches-were kept on the go
all day, and, with the many sail and
row boats, gave the lake gay and an
imated appearance. But those who left
before night and failed to see the illu-
limitations and fireworks missed the pref
tiest part of the days entertainment.
The spacious grounds in front of
the Williams house, bathed in
the mellow light of the hun
dreds of Chinese lanterns suspended
from the trees, looked like scene from
fairyland. and from a distance on the
lake the shore was dimly visible as In
the golden glow of the setting sun.
The Chateaugay grounds were also
adorned with lanterns. and from there
down to the Cottage Park hotel. where
A BURNING TAR BARREL
floating on a raft just Off the dock,
famed in the evening breeze, the shore
was an almost continuous chain of
lights. The cottagerS wed with each
other in their display of pyrOtechnics
and illuminatiOns, and the day was
more generally observed than ever
before. The numerous gamblers
who in past years infested the lake, and
with their games OF chance relieved the
countryman of his hard-earned dollars,
were conspicuous by their absence, and
good order was generally observed. The
Matoska clubs enviable reputation as
entertainers is sufficient to fill Leip's
roomy dining hall with merry dancers
every Saturday night, and the opening
party, which took place the last of the
week, was attended by enough to make
dancing enjoyable. Refreshments were
served in the ladies' ordinary, and a late
train to the city run for the accommo-
dation of the guests living in town. The
Matoska club boys stopping at Leip's
have decided to repeat these hops every
Saturday night, and that they will be
popular is a foregOne conclusion.
