The glorious Fourth was ushered In at
midnight in suitable manner with the
usual amount of noise, bonfres, bell ring
ing, etc. There was brilliant illumina-
ton on the lake, which consisted of q
pyramid of boats, three in number, well
saturated with tar, kerosene and other in
fsmmable matter. The pyramid was an
chored in the middle of the lake and set on
fire, and for long time the lake and sur
roundings were lighted as it never was be
fore. One peculiar feature of the display
was the fact that the two ssilboats, the
Take Care and Planet, were old rivals in
the racing days twenty years ago, and
were the fastest Of the feet of about TWEEN
ty sailboats, and 1t was fitting that as they
were generally close together in youth and
prosperity, that they should be in old age
and prosperity, and In consequence both
were oremated together on the water where
they had SO many times sailed side by side.
There was quite fraoas on Church
