Outing.

The festival, given by the ladies, at
lake Watausee Tuesday evening for
the benefit of the Johnson City Band
was a complete success At least five
hundred OF the dear and dearest peo-
pie attended this entertainment. All
that is necessary to induce our beax
and bellies to attend these gatherings
is Just to inform them OF the fact that
their presence is desired The young
people can be inspired to say some
nice things to each other by attending
these outings. The boating is just
lovely, and is calculated to cause pleas
ing thoughts to flash through the
brain of Cupid's children.

The Line Of Lakes.

The above name has been applied
to the Wisconsin Central lines on ac-
count of the large number of lakes
and summer resorts tributary to its
lines. Among some of the we'll
known summer resorts are Fox Lake,
Ill. Lake Villa, III. Waukesha, Muk-
wonago, Cedar Lake, Neenah, Wau-
paca, Fifeld, Butternut and Ashland,
Wis. These lakes abound in numer-
GUS species of fish, such as black bass,
rock bass, pickerel, pike, perch, musk
allonge, while sportsmen will find an
abundance of game, such as ducks,
geese, quail, snipe, etc. In the grand
eur of her scenery, the charming
beauty OF her rustic Ian escapes, and
the rare perfection of her summer
climate, the state of Wisconsin is ac-
knowledged to be without a peer in
the union. Her fame as a refreshing
retreat for the overheated, careworn
inhabitants of the great cities during
the midsummer months, has extended
southwark as far as the Gulf Of Mexico
and eastward to the Atlantic.

sational rumor going the rounds of the
sporting fraternity to the effect that the
match between Jack McAuliffe and Dick
Burge for which the Coney Island club
recently offered s45, 600 purse, aud sub
sesuently withdrew 1t, was to be q gigantic
fake. The story has created no end of
gossip here and is apparently based on
sound facts and 6gures. The superstition
that the contest was to be pre-srranged
affair isl strengthened by the fact that
Judge Newton, matchmaker of the club,
has fntimated to some persons that Burge
he heard was to clay down" on the Ameri-
can champion, and for these reasons he re-
fused to have anything to do With the men.
Newton, when interviewed this evening,
refused to either confirm or deny the
rumor. He, however, spoke AS though be
had thought that something was suspicious
about Burgess actions and for this reason
alone he had withdrawn the purse.
