ENJOYED THE DELIGHTS OF MYERS LAKE
YESTERDAY.
The First Excursion Of the Season Great Sue
csss-SOms of the Attractions Of The
Canton Resort

The first excursion Of the season to
Myers Lake, the beautiful summer re-
sort in the vicinity of Canton, o., now
the property of Mr.. Anton Reymann, Of
this city, left Wheeling at seven o'clock
yesterday morning, and was a great
success. Three hundred and thirty
three tickets were sold at the Union de-
pot in this city, and fourteen at Martins
Ferry, and altogether there were three
hundred and fifty passengers, filing six
cars to a trifle beyond the comfortable
notch. The train was little delayed
in the outward trip, by reason OF hot
box, but arrived at the Lake at half
past ten, where the small army Of invad-
ing pleasure seekers at once proceeded
to enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent. Those who had visited Myers
Lake before found the attractions OF the
resort greatly augmented, while those
upon their first visit were
delighted at the manifold
charms, and all spent
most pleasant day, enjoying to the full
est extent the varied programme OF
amusements provided for the entertain
ment of visitors. The visitors were es-
pecially delighted with the splendid
new Casino, erected upon the sight OF
the hotel destroyed by fire a year or
more ago. The edlfce is three stories
in height, Of handsome design, and az
fords ample opportunity for the enjoy
ment of large selection of recreations.
The several hotels about the lake were
also inspected aud admired. Some OF
the Wheeling visitors went boating,
some enjoyed bathing in the lake, 9TH
ers saw the base ball game, others still
enjoyed the fine music Of two bands,
one on either side of the lake, while
others still took advantage OF the OPP
portunity to stroll about the city OF
Canton, and get an idea Of the place.
MYERS Lake is without doubt des-
tined TO be one OF the most attractive
resorts in this portion Of the country.
Mr.. Reymann acquired the title TO the
property some years ago, and has since
spent nearly quarter Of million dol
lars in embellishing and beautitying 1t.
Originally unsurpassed in natural beau
ty by any resort in the whole State OF
Ohio, Mr.. Reymann has, by the judi
cious and intelligent use Of large sums
of money, make 1t doubly attractive,
and its fame has now spread far and
wide. Elegant hotels have been con-
structed, containing all the modern
improvements, and everything which
could contribute either to the comfort
or pleasure Of guests. Both hotels az
ford large dining rooms, billiard par
lors, bowling alleys, dancing halls, etc,
and in addition the Casino is splendidly
ADAPTED to the uses OF eXcursionlsts.
Velyety lawns extend from these build
ipgs to the shores Of the lake, and
within easy reach are bath houses,
swings, ETC., while two large steam
yachts are ready at all times TO trans
port visitors. All about are eligible
camp grounds, the use OF which is given
free to campers, while the electric rail-
road affords quick transportation to and
from the city. In short the whole Is a
most delightful rural retreat, while az
fording all the enjoyments and conven-
fences Of the largest city hotels or the
more famed but often less enjoyable re-
sorts, and Mr.. Reymann's business asso-
ciates were very often congratulated
yesterday upon the results OF his
efforts
The Wheeling party boarded the cars
for the return trip at 7o'cloek last even
ing and arrived at the Terminal depot
at 1855, conscious that they had passed
a most pleasant day. Many Of the most
prominent citizens, with their families,
were out on the trip, and it is to be
hoped that there will be another and an
early opportunity to make like excur-
