The exodus to the lakes has commenced

cars each to accommodate the club business,
and last night four more sections in addi.

Leaving Furnaces for Fresh Air.
The glasshouses and many of the mills
closed down last week, and the men are
losing no time in getting away. The big,
brawny fellows, with fat rolls of Doodle In
their hands act like lot of schoolboys on a
village green. The prospects of camp life
tor period, with plenty of fishing and
hunting, fill their souls with delight, and
it is impossible for them to conceal their
glee. The old hands try to maintain a GER
tain degree of composure, but the good-na-
tured smile lurking around the corners of the
mouths and the joyful look out of the eyes
1,la -
summer vacation, and the men who have
toiled during the heat and cold will come
back after awhile with renewed bodies and
lots of vigor to continue the prosperity of
this thriving city.
Men work in Pittsburg when they work,
and they know how to enjoy themselves.
1t is fortunate that the city is located 30
near to the fishing grounds furnished by
the Great Lakes. The rates offered by the
railroads and steamboat lines are reasona-
bic, and the cost of living in the camps is
not high, so that it is about as cheap to 60
away for the summer as to stay at home.
Peaceful Army in Camp.
\ Mr. Dunnavant remarked yesterday that
sgreat stir is made about Atlantic City and
other seashore resorts, but he was willing
to wager that more Pittsburgers visit the
lake regions than take a dip in the Atlantic
during the summer. He figures that not
deEs than 900 people from this city will
camp during the hot weatheY1somswhere in
the lake country. During July not less
than !, 800 Pittsburgers will receive their
mail along the ST. Clair river, over 200 are
already located at Erie; so at Ashtabula
and 81 at Kinsmans, on the Lake Shore
road. Mr.. Dupnavant states that there are
advance guards who have gone to prepare
tie camps
OF the various resorts according to the
ticket sales, Mackinac, including Snow
Islands, is bv all odds the most popular.
Many will be surprised to know that Mrs.
Holbrook, wife of the B. & o. superin-
tendent, owns Hotel Elliott at Les
CheneauG. Next in point of popularity
comes the St Clair river, but a big crowd
of people will spend their vacations in
Canada around Lake Nipissing and along
fbe French river.
